Hi everyone, just wanted to tell you that I coveted my daughter`s ipad 1 when she came to visit me last week. It was so difficult giving it back to her.
Since she lives in Rugby and I live in Manchester we only get to see each other a few times a year, so I persuaded her to stay over and she took me ( btw I am 63 years old )
to two nearby electrical outlets to see what they had. Well the first store had none in stock and the salesperson told me I had no chance of getting one in less than a week. A week!!!!!!!!!!!!, how could I wait a week?.
So we tried the outlet next door and they had them in and I bought one, wifi, black,32gig.
Owning this little baby has changed my life even more than my computer ever did.
It has renewed my interest in technology and I find myself reading about it when not able to use it. Funny how the grandchildren visit me much more often now lol.
One thing that niggled me tho` was that safari would not support Google Chrome when I tried to download it.Has anybody done this succesfully and if so how?

i never used google chrome before, cause my safari on my Mac is pimped out(added stuff), and like it on ipad too(not pimped out).

a week or 2 ago, i downloaded iChromy from the app store, which i believe is what you are looking for, i don't really use it, but it's there.

which one are you planning to grab?

Either 16 or 32 wifi only, don't care what colour. Lol

The local shop had 10 of the 32 this morning but sold out before they closed this evening.

I recommend 32, as 16 is really too small, especially for an ipad.....an ipod maybe.

although most apps are 1-30 mb, games 2-800 mb, few apps 1-2GB.
iPad uses apps, and then your music, video, random files.

My cellphone(iPhone4-32GB), prob 3GB free space available.

My iPad1(32GB), prob 3-4GB free space available, although i have a lot of more stuff i would've like to transfer to the iPad1, i couldn't have since i wanna have some space available, just in case.

Now with an iPad2(64GB-3G), i'm relieved for now, space is not an issue.

Now with the advantage of having the 3G version, i can swap my sim card from my iPhone4, and drop it in the ipad and use my data(6GB) for data use.

(i don't think you might care,but here goes)
Now with something you prob don't know about, there is a hack(must be jailbroken), that ported the iPhone app over to iPad to make phone calls on the iPad1 3G, which i personally like, especially if im gonna have my sim in the ipad, and don't wanna miss any calls, i use speakerphone anyways.
its called phoneit-ipad

You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page. I can't believe how excited I am. Alreday getting impatient, what will I be like on Wednesday, won't be able to sleep.
