[QUOTE="StMFA, post: 1272648, member: 203876"] I spent last semester using my iPad2 for on the go computing. Here are my best answers for most of your questions. 1) There are three basic word processing apps, Docs to Go, Office2, and the iWork suite. All I'm sure will do what you need. In terms of ease of use I tend to steer toward the iWork suite, but be warned that when exporting to and from iWork format to MS office format you will have quirky things happening. Overall I really love iWork though. 2) Hulu+, HBO Go, and Netflix are all available, I personally don't have the first two, but Netflix works fine on it, though it does not have HD playback. 3)Can't really comment on this. 4) If that's all your using, at MOST you'd need the 32gb version. The 16 would probably more than suffice though if you're not doing any local storage. 5) I bought an Acase capacitative stylus on Amazon. There are plenty of note taking apps, just find the one that best suits your needs. But yes it works well, though it is a bit slower than actual handwriting. 6) I would recommend the iPad2, it is faster, thinner, a bit easier to hold, especially when reading books. It will easily last you two years. and the 16gb version is only 499, which is still cheap. [/QUOTE]
