Q. I've just ordered my Ipad and am wondering what bits and bobs I might need to take full advantage of it.
A. Must haves:
Apple IPad case: it doesn't only protect the device but also it gives a perfect angle for typing and watching video. With apple case on, I can type faster on iPad than i do on any laptop.
Other case may look more attractive but none of them does what Apple case can do.
Camera Kit: Just for $29 you get two dongles that allow you to connect your digital camera and memory card directly to iPad to transfer photos and videos. You can even attach memory card hub and put different kind of memory cards.
iPad Bag: there are many light and super slim bags available in the market. Laptop bags are heavy and if bags are heavy then there is no point of carrying a light weight iPad. Carry laptop instead so I think light weight bag is a must have.
I grabbed one from store Ross just for $15 it's good enough to accommodate power cable,iPad,digital camera, some other dongles and cables ,headphones.
You can also get blutooth keyboard from either Apple store or online if you want cheaper ones. But I won't suggest you to get apple dock I think Apple was sleeping when they made dock for iPad. The dock is totally useless and you can't use in landscape mode.
But if you search online , there are docks available that lets you use the iPad on landscape mode and it also allow you to use external keyboard in landscape mode.
You can buy Motorola Blutooth stereo headset.
Now some apps:
Netflix
Abc Player
We Rule -game
N.O.V.A - game
GoodReader- download video directly to device and upload document to google doc, dropbox,Box, save email attachments, browse the web while downloading video.
Desktop:divide the screen ,on one side browse the Internet and on other side use calculator ,unit converter, translator,email or any other app with radio playing at background.
Radio:it's a free and only radio app that works at background.
IM lite: chat on google ,AOL,Twitter,FB or others and browse the Internet at the same time.
Pages,Numbers,Keynote: $9.99 each .get them if you are into creating documents.
I use them for my office work everyday.
Websites:
Contrary to common belief , iPad can stream full length movies and TV shows and it's better than any computer coz when you watch movies for free on computer , you get many pop ups and ad banners. You get none on iPad.

What are productive things an ipad can do?
Q. My dad said he'd get me an ipad if I researched what it can do besides games. That help with school and other stuff like that.
A. IPad can help you anyway you want. Internet is a flow of information that can help you with you school projects etc.
You can connect any camera,USB keyboard,headset and Memory card or USB hub to iPad through Camera Connection Kit that has two dongles, one for camera and the other one is for SD card.
You can import photos that includes Raw photos and video.
I don't know about BB but I connect my iPhone and camera quite often.
Few people will say you need to buy Camera kit. But it's available for only $30 what's the big deal in it?
Flash is past all the websites have recoded their content into HTML 5 which is supported by iPad.
You can also download movies into your ipad. Go to http://moviesforipad.org/
will the apple iPad be a good laptop replacement for a teenager ?
Q. Son said he likes the ipad , when is it coming out and do u think it will be better than a laptop?
A. No it will not.
Summary of the iPad:
-You cannot multitask. You can only do one task at a time. If you want to surf the web and type into a document, you canât. Listen to music while you surf the web? Nope. You need to exit one and then open the other.
-No flash support. Enjoy the web without much of its content!
-No camera. A $30 Tracfone has a camera and an expensive Apple product doesn't? Wow.
-It doesnât have an SD card slot. You want expand it from the limited capacity options that Apple offers? You can't. Want to easily load all your photos and music on it? You can't.
-No USB ports. You need to buy a special dongle and attach it to the iPad if you want to use any peripherals. Ah yes, thatâs convenient and cost-effective. Peripheral support will also be very limited by its operating system.
-Doesnât use a real operating system, like Windows or Mac OSX. It runs like an iPhone, not a laptop. If you want to install a program, a special iPhone app needs to exist.
-Apple wants to say it will be great for reading books and magazines, but it has a bright, glossy LCD screen. Meanwhile, electronic book reader devices use an electronic ink technology that doesnât strain the eyes and can be used in the sun. The iPad is like staring into a light bulb... so great for long, focused reading. Also, electronic book readers can run on battery for days, whereas the iPad claims up to 10 hours, but probably has much less with mixed use.
-You need to lay it flat and look straight down at it to type on it. Itâs not like a netbook or laptop where the keyboard is flat and the screen is in front of your face.
-You can buy a keyboard accessory â you can spend extra money to turn a low-power netbook-type tablet into a non-portable desktop computer. Meanwhile there are products like Lenovo U1 Hybrid where you can slip the tablet into a netbook shell and turn it into a portable, foldable laptop.
-It costs $500, minimum, and has a 1 ghz processor. Youâre paying $500 for something that has about the same capabilities as an iPod Touch, but is huge. Products with similar specs and abilities as the iPad cost less than that. If you want the model with enough disk space and 3G to make it worth your while, itâs $800.
My netbook has a 1.6 ghz Atom processor and cost me $200. And my netbook has an SD slot so I can make the hard drive space as large as I want. And my netbook has USB ports. And I can do multiple tasks on my netbook. The iPad is a giant iPod Touch without the iPod Touch's main selling point: it being small enough to fit in your pocket.
Fact is, tablets have been around forever and the mainstream market didnât want them. Just because theyâve slapped an Apple logo on it, should people suddenly want it?
