I buy the cheapest iPad's so I can more easily justify upgrading. :)

I use mostly Mac laptops and a Mac Mini, but I do have one Windows XP laptop at work. I'd prefer to dump it, but I don't think my bosses would be keen on that.

The case I currently use with my iPad in bed is Prop 'n Go by Padded Spaces I've written a detailed review here. In short it's comfortable, highly adjustable, and has a universal fit for my other tablets. Well worth it.

You can subscribe using 3rd party apps like iCatcher. Agreed that this should be built-in to the standard iPod/Music App. Apple probably haven't enabled it given different battery priorities.

Nice story, MattIM. It's cool that Apple still goes above and beyond with customer experience. Congrats on the purchase!

Jsh1120 - Thanks for your feedback on my review. I did a bit of reading tonight. It looks like they had a previous product called Prop It Up made of vinyl. The reviews are about the old product, I believe. The product I received has soft microsuede. I can only guess that it is much more...

I think Siri is actually more practical on the iPad than the iPhone. I don't have an iPhone, but I can't imagine using Siri in public. Maybe the social stigma will change... For now though, bring Siri to my iPad 2!!

Welcome to the club. I've yet to look back. ;)

I sure hope that Siri comes along in version 5.1. Considering that the iPad 2 has a A5, the same as the iPhone 4S, it seems only right. If they hold onto Siri as an iPad 3 only feature, that would suck royally!

Hello world. I love my iPad! What more can I say?

Despite being a member for about a year, I've never felt compelled to right a full-on product review. That is until now. A few months ago I ordered a Prop 'n Go by Padded Spaces. It came quickly via USPS Priority. I originally bought an iPad 2 Smart Cover, hoping that it would work nicely on...

Very cool dedication. Thanks for sharing Maura.

I got the 16 GB version. I'm sticking to the smallest hard drive sizes. It let's me upgrade quicker. :)

I have a 16 GB White iPad 2. Mine only shows 13.5 GB for Capacity. Where is my other 500 MB? Why am I more angry now? Crap.

This issue drives me nuts. We need this fixed and more granular controls of WiFi. For instance, my iPad grabs other floors routers instead of the current floor I'm on. Why not just let me prioritize which should be selected based on geolocation, time, signal strength, etc.
