 ;D My sis bought an iPad3 and we played Words With Friends against each other one night until midnight!

We were sitting opposite each other and I was helping her with her words!! ;D
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

This is DH's, love it love it love it. Am currently on it for the first time, and I want one! He's FIFO so we got one so he can download movies and stuff. We also got this neat little cover and keyboard that was $100 and you can type really fast and the screen can be angled at about 75 degrees. Am typing really fast....wheeee

A good app to have if you needs movies or Tv is the iBBC . For only $90 a year you get a lot of interesting stuff.

I have a Zaggfolio CP with a neat keyboard buti can't use itin bed easily.  Try using the voice recognition too.

I finally bit the bullet and have ordered an iPad.  Partly because I have some (tentative) travel plans and would prefer to travel with something lighter than my 17" MacBookPro for which I have one of the high security cases that is supposed to be strong enough to drive over and which weighs accordingly.
It does have a shoulder strap but it hurts my shoulder if I carry it that way for too long.

That's exciting that your DH has an iPad CP.  y You will soon have one on your list.

We got wifi in the house today. It'svery exciting. It certainly makes using the  iPad easier.
