Ooooooohhh. A proper keyboard, a proper size screen, proper connectivity.

I wonder if Mrs TJ will swap

Yet again I wonder why I purchased an ipad. They are completely inept at processing PQ's when trying to update my GC.com profile

Now, to wrestle the laptop off Mrs TJ

Ooooooohhh. A proper keyboard, a proper size screen, proper connectivity.

iPads, and all tablets, aren't intended to be computers - they're intended to be a convenient portable alternative with endless possibilities.

As time goes on,  things get done wirelessly more and more - who needs connection? How often do you actually connect stuff? Just like the DVD drive - how often do you actually use it? You don't really need it on an iPad.  A proper sized screen? Do you need anything any bigger for a touchscreen? Proper keyboard? You can buy one to magnetically attach to the iPad 

Tablets, and iPad's can be anything you want them to be. Want to play some music? The iPad is an instrument. Want to edit some photos? The iPad is a tool. Want to take a photo? It's a camera. Want to read a book? It's a book. Want to draw or sketch? The iPad is a canvas.

I've had mine for just over a year now, and I can easily say that I have no regrets with spending some my savings on one 

ipad's are just toys - good looking toys 

I wouldn't call them toys. Maybe I should bring one to a meeting/event for you to see how useful and brilliant they actually are  They are also very durable - this one has survived several drops, including the floor tiles, and not a mark or bump on it

I wouldn't use it as a camera, not pocket sized.

I wouldn't use it to play MP3's on the move, to bulky.

It's to small to watch a film.

I use photo editing software and a mouse is the best tool for this and having a large screen so you don't keep zooming in and out.

Having not used a device without a real keyboard, I don't know what it is like for creating/editing documents/spreadsheets/databases.

Also the files need to be able to be sent to & from other people using other systems, so need to be in a standard format.

(Couldn't get the 'quote' thingy to work this morning, probably me)

@Griff Groff.. I will have to poke xJammmzy to post on here and tell you about his Nexus. He seems to be on it all the time, though I am not overly sure doing what. Probably some thing to do with minecraft. I think it's a touch smaller than an iPad, but I don't have one in the house to compare any other features to.

@Bear and Ragged.. *amused* I hadn't noticed that bit of humour on the fleabay page until you pointed it out

Are you using an ipad



 

I'm am  And obviously it worked 

But what would you do if someone gave you an iPad as a gift? 

 

I think I know the answer already 

So far the only benefits over a laptop appear to be that I can be from turned off to on the Internet in 5 seconds and that it fits in a large pocket.
