I'm sure this has been asked several times by many people, but I thought i was post my question anyways. Should I get an iPad? Here are my expectations/uses of it:
Read PDFs that may require the usage of using Firefox (I will never use Safari)
Have the ability to type on it using a bluetooth keyboard instead of onscreen display
Be able to view flash, shockwave, java, and HTML5 based websites
attach a bluetooth headset and use it to create speech to text notes and documents
have a nice way to display my pictures if in a presentation for clients
Things/features I won't be using it for:
gaming (though i might have something like bejeweled on there)
onboard camera
music playback (that's what i have an ipod for)
youtube and video playback
3G (Wifi is all i need)
So I have my needs, would the iPad, either 1 or 2 be a good fit for me? I was planning on getting iwork and aperture for it, as well as firefox and thunderbird apps, and i was told there is a Dictation app by Dragon for speech to text. But overall, thoughts/opinions?
