I was thinking about geting an ipad and i would like to know the pros and cons with ipads. I would snowandmud email mabey some or most of my school work, apps... The other thing is can you get the camra kit usb and then plug in usb items like ipod or CD drive? Also pay for 3G or stay with wifi?
I would more likely go with the ipad2 anyone have it yet?

thanks rmk 800 144

I still use and love my iPad 64gb wifi+3G (original) and looked at a iPad 2 in a apple store and saw no screen change and only the addition of two cameras (which aren't very good quality) and being thinner are the only differences. If I was in your shoes I would buy the original because it's tougher and CHEAPER a whole 50-100$ cheaper. That savings u could spend on quading or sledding.
But that's my opinion u buy which ever one u want no one is going to stop u.
:cool:

Ive had my iPad pretty much since they came out. Love it. Using it right now actually. It doesn't replace your lap top though. You can't really do much as far as production on an iPad other than email but it beats the laptop for surfing, music, pictures, video and every thing else fun :) great battery life, cheap data plans.

You might be the coolest sh!t on the Internet but you are seriously "technology challenged" hahaha.
You are wrong on almost all accounts. I can do it all...yes even read and alter excel docs. :eek: USB port...check....card reader...check...
Maxwell...you can cage your pigeons. We have email now :rolling:

I picked up a iPad 2 last night.
How do I add a picture to a post from my photo album?
I am logged in with the Internet not a app.

Thanks.

USB port....Would be an adapter that cost you extra money... Card reader....extra money... crappy little adapters that you plug into the bottom. And he is RIGHT on almost all of what he said there becuase I had one a ditched it the first chance I got... and im pretty sure I even typed that lol... copyrighting MOFO! I just didnt like it....Laptops and way better if you actually going to use them for stuff... Apple has a nice way of keeping you locked into thier little... "apple world". but thats my opinion. For everyone else that just likes surfing the net and stuff they are fine...

I have a desktop to plug all my usb, memory cards and other crap into. I figure this is the ideal use case. Having a desktop and a laptop just seems as redundant as having a laptop and a tablet when all I'm going to use the portable device for is surfing the interwebs and reading stuff.

I went with an iPod Touch just because it's just that much more portable. (And I didn't get an iPhone/Android/etc phone because I already have a cell phone through work.)

Couldn't care less about opening excel documents on it. I have netflix on it, so again, don't care about dvd's (and if something its missing is really bothering you, it might be on itunes to rent anyway), I can type just fine on the touch screen, but I'm not going to write novels in bed anyway. Oh, and the app store is a way better way to find software and keep it up to date than just wandering around to websites on the internet... including the avalanche bulletin app.

Not defending Apple here... the same could be said for BB, Android, WinPhone, etc............. just sadly none of those guys did a small, phone size but phoneless tablet device that wasn't a complete POS. :(

Agree with most of what you got there...I like having a desktop and a laptop because it would be a son of a $%^&$ to take my laptop to valemount every time I went sledding. When I got it the guy told me it would do a whole bunch of stuff it didnt... It was ABSOLUTLEY not compatible with facebook... i dont care who you are...I wanted it so I could plug my helmet cam into it and watch the video's and pictures and upload them to facebook... It could not do either of those. I asked him if facebook had an app for the i-pad and I dont know if they do yet... But they sure didnt for EVER. They needed an official facebook app... all those half assed ones werent good for anything.
