[QUOTE="RNDdave, post: 1209240, member: 20405"] first off I only decided to buy an iPad 2 because I had a major falling out with my kindle (another topic/maybe I'll post a new topic on that falling out at a later point). Once I made the decision I was pretty much trying to find reasons to talk myself out of buying one, clearly I failed... ;D - so far I love my iPad, I am sat in coffee store obliterating the free wifi (I did get a 3G one but the 3G is PAYG and only meant for non wifi situations for me. - never had an original, but I always thought the first one felt a bit too heavy, especially compared to my kindle (funny how you change your mind when you want one huh). One thing I am a little surprised by is the way iPhone apps look like little boxes, I thought they'd have looked better on iPad, yes I realise I can re-buy my apps in 'hd' and some I probably will ... But it still surprised me. Also surprised there isn't an iPad app for Facebook, although you can just use the browser can't you :-) - because the launch time was so late in the day I pretty much thought I had no chance of getting one after work. I tried all the same, when I got to the main apple store for my area I saw a huge queue and some security guard telling people that the queue that is there already pretty much have all of the iPads so little reason to join queue unless you want to see if anyone changes their mind by the time they get the bill... Didn't fancy waiting for a 'just in case' scenario so just went back home. The next day I drove to a secondary apple store, I was about 11 in the queue and was got the very last one :) So far really happy!!! EDIT: the keyboard is ace to type on, it really is! [/QUOTE]
