I've got one of those keyboard/cases and if I've been using it a lot, when I sit in front of a standard computer I find myself reaching out to touch the screen instead of picking up the mouse. Or is it just me?

Probably. It would be the best Android tablet out there, hardware wise.

games/apps that really take advantage of iPad 2's speed. are there any? I've seen a few games that were enhanced for the iPad 2, but they didn't really look all that much better. the processor is supposed to be a lot more powerful though. Anyone know if there are plans for a game that is...

I think they put a trivia game into the app, maybe to help get it approved. Its not really a game though. No one would pay 400 dollars for trivia.

iSwifter is another option for flash. Not a good browser overall, but it does the job when it comes to flash.

If you want to see a bad screen, try a G tablet by View Sonic. They put a netbook screen into a tablet. It's horrible. Low contrast and one viewing angle.

It'd be unrealistic to expect it to work with any video source, obviously. They could make it clear what formats it will handle though.

The only hardware feature its really lacking at this point is a memory card slot.

You might want to try Azul media player or another video player. It'll play a lot of file types that the built in player won't. It might save you the annoyance of having to use handbreak.

I'm really liking iMovie. That's a lot of fun to use. I imagine gaming apps are going to start coming out soon too that really take advantage of the added processing power, too. If that and the camera don't matter much to you, might as well get the 300 dollar iPad.

One thing I've read is that its better to use up most of the battery before recharging it, instead of topping it off constantly.

The keepvid website works as well for downloading and converting youtube vids to mp4 that works in iMovie, if you're using a PC.

It'd be more valid if iMovie worked better with imported video. I have had a lot of trouble with that.

I think I'll wait and get one of those keyboard cases. They let you use the iPad like a laptop. Nice.

I sold my iPad 1 on Amazon and amazingly got what i paid for it. Less after Amazon took their share, of course. Apple stuff has an amazing resale value.
