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.

I wonder if Mrs TJ will swap ::)

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  :D

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  :D

ipad's are just toys :P - good looking toys  :D

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  ;D
