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
The third party app, OPlayer, can play most formats of video - check it out in the App Store.
If you don’t already have it you can download a copy of the iPad manual for free.
You can watch movies etc that you download from the iTunes Store or sync from your PC with iTunes (some formats) but, if you want to watch videos that you import yourself, then you need a third-party app.
