Got one given to me for free from my school. My kids play on it all the time, my wife runs admin stuff for our business through it and I've read a few things on it. Win!

All of our Year 7 students will be using them next year...we're phasing out the laptops. I prefer to keep my head in the sand and allow technology to sneak up on me and pass me by, but I reckon they're pretty cool. Then again, I didn't pay for mine.

:joy:

sounds like not such a great thing for kids - terrible for posture unless they come with a stand, and don't help for touch typing.

i sometimes think about the ohs requirements my work has for posture, do schools have to pay attention to this stuff? I've been seeing so many kids, mine included, developing a craning neck to play with the ipads and pods

Not going to bother with a 3G ipad considering ios 4.3 will allow me to use my iphone as a wireless hotspot.

That having been said i'm a little disappointed with the lack of a screen resolution update. Still tossing up whether to wait another 12 months.

i wasn't sold on the ipad until recently, ipad 2 though ... if i wasn't so tied to my laptops, i'd definitely get one.
