Got mine last Thursday ...I ordered it on
Amazon and it came 3 days later....I have not been on my laptop since...on purpose. I have always had Windows products and I have to say that my Ipad2 is beyond awesome...the only non-awesome thing was the lack of a user manual...I am very tech savvy so I muddled along and today 5 days later I am surfing along seamlessly. I saw a segment on severely Autistic people and the Ipad so that moved my purchase along quickly. My girl is an adult autistic person and non-verbal...tomorrow I will fill the Ipad with "her stuff" to see if it helps her communicate...worse case scenario she ignores it and this lovely beauty is mine...LOL...
My Linksys router did not immediately recognized my Ipad but some one here said that the WEP code was the password and they were absolutely right....in a split second I was up and running.....and spending at the app store....
I have TimeWarner...their app is wonderful and free to subscribers....I can watch live tv or set the 3 DVR's (don't judge I love tv) in my house from my Ipad anywhere in my house...I can change channels...see the guide....they are always made out to be the devil but in this case this app is angelic....thank you TW.
Reading magazines is great...I already subscribe to many that have apps so their digital versions are free one great feature is being able to seamlessly enlarge text that is so helpful to aging eyes...the backlight on People magazine makes the pictures beautiful....
The instant on feature is heaven to those of us who usually have to wait for their laptop to boot up...I am quickly getting addicted to that...carrying around my Ipad like a baby... just waiting for an excuse to use it...
one thing that I was concerned about was the lack of Flash...I have yet to need it...CBS,NBC,ABC all have apps that play full episodes if you need them...I did purchase Splashtop...wow ....now when I am sitting on my bed with my daughter, a laptop and god knows what I can put my laptop on my dresser (it has to be on for this to work) get my Ipad and on my home screen is an exact replica of my laptop...I can play Club Pogo games....use flash ...etc...it is like the remote networking thing that techs would use to take over your computer....I have put the laptop on my dresser...gone into the kitchen and continue working with my Ipad...how cool is that...
In conclusion it's been 5 days and the honeymoon is still going on...it would take all day to list what I love about this device...the negatives are too few to mention...and on top of it all I have you guys here to help if I need it....there is an app for that!.....
