Actually, the title is a bit misleading, because I now the Ipad also use professionally, but I'll manage somehow not away from it. My previous reviewer has already described some of my experiences, so I bit short on some things holding me what. The excellent battery life, good screen and ITunes concerns for example. I've never had a device from Apple (in his hand), so I was only times a little irritated that I could operate the device immediately after switching on. I did not know times what was the unit at all from me. Well, at some point, I then figured out that I have to download my Itunes etc. I actually was planning also to use the equipment professionally, I did play around for something tapped with the device immediately to the Exchange server from my employer and lo and behold, after 2 minutes I had all my data on the device, nicely sorted by calendar, mail and contacts. In addition, I still find the design of the applications very appealing, ergonomic, easy ... My wife, which estimates my toys always frowning, was actually impressed. I had the unit 30min at this time. in use. The whole thing's just one catch: it can unfortunately only set up an Exchange account, so I have to sync my private mail, contacts and calendar via Google, which means technically but googling meant a couple of hours, but now works smoothly. Since Apple MobileMe properly after a 60 day trial period will have for the service of money, it is not an option for me. The software features of the device in the ground state is actually a bit meager, not again a calculator can be found. So I've only once need to install a few apps, which I found some programs that I can really make good use professionally. Since some of my "clients" of the device itself are very impressed, I can now move to make playfully using the device that which is not always so easy to convey this without motivating. The device simply plugs a lot of potential, just because it looks like a toy and fun for everyone. In short it can be used outstandingly for educational or therapeutic purposes. I'm not a teacher. One point I draw from, because it makes the unit or the entire system to the user easy to buy apps. Since you buy faster than you "can touch. It also often receives only after days an acknowledgment from the store, which I find unacceptable. I do not mind that Apple wants to make money, but because they do it but something to the extreme. In addition, apps are available that are really scrap, not so function I understand why not really know that Apple's platform operates as restrictive. One criticism is then that the device something naked, without any accessory comes along. Spartan equipped with software without CD only with folder, envelope, etc. It nevertheless remains a brilliant, very well thought out and completely functional device ....
