hi guys,
i am thinking about buying an iPad. i was wondering if i could get some input on your experiences with the following:
1. how hard is to get used to the keyboard? i went to the apple store and tried it myself for few minutes. it was extremely difficult to type using 10 fingers without accidentally punching in the wrong letter. is this something that is just a matter of getting used to or is everyone typing with 2 fingers?
2. at school i will need to be able to occasionally open powerpoints and word documents, including those nasty docx. is there an app to view those. if not, is there a way to quickly convert those documents on ipad?
3. PDF support is a must...am i going to have issue viewing large PDF files? how small is the font on PDFs? is it readable?
4. is there a search feature that will search the entire iPad? i oftentimes will have to search for a keyword within hundreds of PDFs. will i have to go to each PDF one by one or is the search feature universal?
5. iPad and windows. i don't use iTunes (and i am not planning to) and i don't own a mac. will i be able to manually put files on my iPad?
6. i have picasa web albums. will i be able to sync between ipad and web albums?
7. how did you prevent you gf from taking over your iPad?
