I have mixed emotions about the Ipad. Very handy for email when
traveling,
and nice as a book reader. Takes good pictures. When we were in
Africa my
Hero camera would not charge, so used the Ipad for video and some
stills.
Bitch is getting the pictures off. You have to email or use "The
Cloud".
Should be able to drag them to an external USB disk or a powered USB
port
with an SD Card. Also the fact you can only print to an AirPrint
printer
is sucky. HP has a print app, but only if you use the app to open a
web
page. Not a text do document file.

Surprised you are satisfied with the pictures the iPad takes. Mine
suck. I think it's an iPad2 or maybe a 3. Can't remember.
My Droid cell phone takes much better pictures. But I rarely carry or
use that either. I think I stopped evolving in the instant
communications world.
I like my laptops. I can turn them on and turn them off at will,
nobody can call me when I want peace and quiet and I don't live in a
world of some goofy tone or noise going off every 5 minutes with an
incoming text or email. My wife has become an iPhone addict though.
Stupid thing is constantly beeping, chirping or making some weird
sound and her nose is constantly to the screen, communicating with
someone. The other day it fell into our pool and I thought, "At
last !!! Relief !!! The damn thing is dead !!!" No such luck.
She put it in the sun for about 15 minutes and it works fine. Damn.

I am going to design some kind of holder for it that attaches to her
sun glasses. It will hold it about six inches from her nose. Maybe
that will get a point across.
