Good to hear from you. 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 usually find I discover one new interesting and useful piece of information about my iPad every day - and often not even what I was looking for!!
Hope to hear from you soon with your thoughts about the iPad.
Have fun and enjoy your iPad
If you don’t already have it you can download a copy of the iPad manual for free.
Super World Adventures is similar to Super Mario. But it's $1.99 right now. If you wait, it may go on sale again at some point for 99 cents or even free.
If your willing to jailbreak your iPad you can download a snes emulator from cydia, and then download a ROM of super mario to play on it. Make sure you own a copy of the original cartridge before you do this though.
