Hello, first of all I want to say that this text will be written on an iPad and is based on real experiences. I have purchased the Ipad in the US and since 2 weeks in use. With the following lines, I would like future customers / owners help to make the right decision. The iPad comes multilingual, so you can adjust the language and keyboard with a few taps quickly, even enable several layouts and choose when typing. First, the device itself: The iPad is expected to high-quality processed stable and torsionally rigid. You had to with a lot of force on the iPad to act to bring the display to splinter. The display is fantastic, has excellent color and about the size of a netbook displays. The panning function perfectly and is optimally adjusted. The few buttons on the iPad are built stable and have a good pressure point. When you first turn on you have to briefly connect to iTunes (do not even have his own) and the iPad can be used. The user experience is typically simple after one minute you are connected to the wireless network and can surf. Use: Virtually every function is max. three taps away, the installed apps are intuitive to understand a learning process is not necessary. Synchronization via iTunes is simple, fast and works perfectly. It is important, however, to understand that the iPad is not a laptop replacement. The iPad is more mobile Infopad for permanent web use. Since I have it, I hardly use a PC to me on the web to move or to post updates and read. With an RSS reader you can read at breakfast online newspaper, in the car, I have music or podcasts while, during a break I can look at videos. I use primarily Windows devices, but this iPad has given me to use a new way shown to the Web. Productive but is still a PC, but soon soon iMac uses (Meanwhile iMac 21,5Zoll). It must be understood that the iPad is not a substitute, but an extension in the mobile use. Who has big PCs or iMacs will be happy here. Notebook or netbook users should think twice. Similarly, iPhone users, because apart from the larger display it is practically the same. For presentations, the app needs to activate the display output, a clone of the display is not possible. Photos, videos and presentations on Keynote are currently possible on Beamer, the iPad is black at this time. The known push / touch / Tip features are also available on the iPad. The battery lasts at least seven hours. Turn it it still has 50-30% depending on usage in the morning at eight and ten at night. Then it will be charged overnight. Among the known issues: Flash does not exist, it will not happen. I do not miss, on the contrary, now I'm looking forward to less advertising on the net. Youtube works thanks to HTML5. Problems with the wireless I do not know, overheating has never occurred, the device is not even warm. Tips: really makes sense, the iPad with a MS Exchange Server. I use google. Contacts Calendar and Google Docs can be seamlessly integrated in this way. Google mobile is the key word. Since everything is on a server I synce my Omnia, my PC and the iPad quickly and easily. Within three minutes it was on my iPad to date. Fantastic. To Google Docs can be accessed with free apps, apps with editing function is in progress. Keynote, Numbers and Pages will be exclusively for the iPad for ten euros on the AppStore. Then it gets really interesting. My conclusion: as a photographer, I use the iPad to show customers photos. This works perfectly, just contact and appointment management. Information via Web mail and I get the iPad also under control. For this scale and these tasks there is nothing better in this size. Music and video I find nice addition. Apps are also available and extend the iPad also. I'm not a freak, not a nerd not Apple or Windows disciples. I look for the system that best meets my needs. In mobile information management for me was the iPad the best solution. I do not regret it, who decides it is not also. However, one should his tasks you do with the iPad will just check so as not to be disappointed.
