if you're a keen reader, its a great device. the ability to surf, check emails, play some games, type some light memos and spreadsheets are a bonus.

I went for it not to read all the articles, magazines, books but to keep them all in ONE simple device. National Geos, Mac magazines, footie magazines, comics, Photography magazines, Lord of the Rings novels, Narnia novels, John Grisham novels. Excellent if i just want to read any of them.

Nice! However I rather read those with my PC or do it with my iPhone when I'm mobile.

reading novels an Iphone will do...but its the Ipad that brings out the full glorious colours of the photos and illustrations...

So far i really am... Been messing with the iPad since.. Even reading and corresponding using this machine.. Hey wait, where's my laptop?? I'm sure it was here just now.. Oh, there it is, my two years old son is playing with it.. MY TWO YEARS OLD!!! Sorry, gotta go........

I have 2 years old son as well who loves to play with the iPad. He just play around with youtube videos and some children apps.. My wife always use the ipad to search for recipes and facebooking.. And I use it for browsing and some gaming... Now 3 family members use it the same device.. Really worth it

Better go with --> htc desire/aria(preinstalled wifi hotspot aka wifi tethering) + ipad wifi16gb

i love my ipad

I am tired of looking for a way to tether my iPad to my Blackberry Bold 9700.

I'm thinking of getting an iPad for uni purpose. Like reading my notes (PDF) and maybe sometimes typing my assignments. Not a hardcore entertainment lover here. What do you guys think ?

R u sure u really need an Ipad just to read ur notes cause u r not really fully utilised it.

Typing emails r OK but doing assignments..

Hmm I get headache very fast looking at the laptop for too long, and I don't like sitting at the table reading. But maybe I'm still new with these Apple gadgets so I'm not too sure. Can I download movies from the iPad itself ? I do like watching GossipGirls and certain movies, but I'm not sure if I can download it ?

Can I open like a few PDF files at one time ? And is it really difficult to type on it ah? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a real newbie !

Thinking of getting one for reading novels, watching movies/series and surfing-facebook/flicker.

Most of my novels are in MS word 2007 and pdf format, movies and series are in avi, mkv and a few m2ts & mp4.
any problem or issue I should be aware that is not covered in here >> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1563492 ?

I bought ipad for presentation purposes when meeting up wit my client, i do design save in jpeg/pdf into ipad, then present to using
new technology, 1st impression is really important to attract your client to hired ur service , apart from that,
it's good for entertainment device, especially gaming..superb graphic quality, and one more thing, from ipad, i can buy design magazine, photoshop design magazine with verrrrrrryyyy cheap price as low as 2.99usd only, and i can use that as my designing reference...
that's y ipad is worth it for me

Partly for the show off reason I believe I see people bringing their iPad just to purposely buy a cup of coffee and sit in Coffee Bean or Starbucks. At the same time Apple makes great products.

Since i bought mine last month, I think i read more and i surf more than before. And what a coincidence that i read this topic in the toilet while doing my poopoo. (just imagine surfing with your laptop in the toilet

But to be honest its not really a gadget do your office works. To me ipad is like an electronic version of filofax or organiser (of course its has more functions..

Please choose ipad instead of android tablet at this moment, i have tried both. although android give us more flexibility, but its smoothness is not comparable to ipad.

perhaps this situation will only be changed during the launching of the chrome OS tablet.

I am using N1 + ipad btw...

i would still say an ipad is just a toy man ... a really expensive toy ...

or alternatively , something that makes u start the reading habit again haha
