In order of frequency of use: Netbook carry-case -- the front pocket takes my power adapter, USB cable, digital camera's USB cable, Blackberry's USB cable, Camera Connection kit and plenty space for other things like tickets in with the iPad in the main pocket :-) Camera...

I still use my iPad 1 as Jones_jt says, it wasn't a big enough jump from 1 to 2. Still not sure about getting the new iPad -- I was pretty sure but then the salesman in PC World said the video wasn't good if you were panning a lot... He siad it can be a bit jumpy. I asked to see what it's like...

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I guess the moderators can move it to where it ought to be? I use my iPad as a laptop replacement especially on holidays away from home so I had a couple of needs which I have now satisfied :-) I've had the iPad about a year and a half...

"sometime in the near future I'm going to try to find a good waterproof bag for it when I attempt to circumnavigate Koh Mak in a kayak." Try AquaPac : http://store.aquapac.net/explore-product-range/waterproof-ipad-laptop-cases.html

Safari to check a holiday price :)

If you're a techie geek like me, then it's probably possible to replace the nano's battery -- I know there's instructions and sources for replacing batteries etc on my even older iPod Mini -- if I had to use public transport on a regular basis I would upgrade the mini's 4Gb hard drive with a 8Gb...

I use Handbrake too on my mac to rip DVDs for playing on my iPad. If you have VLC player on your mac as well then Handbrake finds it and uses it's code for decrypting the DVDs and works seamlessly -- you put it in and after a short time it suggests which DVD "track" you ought to rip -- check...

Just taken delivery (on thursday) of a shiny new iMac 21" 2.5GHz:D Going to the Apple Store Genius bar for an hour this morning to get help and tips on migrating my data from my 4-5 year old macMini:) Initial thoughts on Lion with the Magic Trackpad : "It's just natural when you've been...

Don't know about keynote never used it :-( Money for numbers wasn't a waste - there were things I would have used it for but didn't when I couldn't save in excel format. On reading my post it is a bit biased as Excel couldn't do the task either :-D

iPad has flash if you get the iSwifter App from the App Store. I seriously doubt the iPad 3 getting released this year unless as said by others it isn't the iPad 3 but is released as the iPad Pro but still unlikely.

You should copy this tip to the Hints & Tips thread - I'd have never thought you could change this - it'll come in useful :D Thanks DefBref

I only caved in and bought it when I noticed they now let you save as an excel formatted file - when you could only save as Numbers or PDF it was useless as I still haven't installed iWorks (from buying the boxed set when I upgraded to Snow Leopard) on my macMini.

I managed without Numbers for the past year! I just bought it today as I was bored and thought I needed it to do something - it turned out it didn't work for the particular task.

Angry Birds, and still like to play Soitaire <blush>
