yoresoft said:I just purchased an Ipad. I am a Windows user usually.
My question... Since we don't have wifi here at work, is there any real difference in hooking up my Ipad to my desktop and downloading from the web that way? Also would I have to copy download over to the Ipad or will the App store see the Ipad and download directly to it?
Thank you in advance

You can download apps, etc. with iTunes on your desktop and than connect the iPad to the computer to sync it with iTunes. This will transfer the purchased apps.
When you purchase an app, but not from your iPad, you either have to sync to transfer the app, or open the AppStore on the iPad and download the app again. You can download apps as many times as you want free of charge. What it will not do is to automatically download and install an app on the iPad, if the app was purchased on another machine.
So either sync with iTunes to transfer the app from your computer, or download directly from the AppStore. Those are the two options of getting apps onto the iPad.
