Ipad 2 .... do I ?

[Vogon]

As the wifes lappy is aging, I was thinking of replacing with an ipad2.
Having briefly played with a mates I find it all very cool, but I admit to not knowing a great deal about them, and as far as the wife is concerned it needs to do 2 things she uses the lappy for.

1. She uses Excel and has a basic custom spreadsheet, can we import excel spreadsheets direct and flawlessly with any ipad2 apps/programs ?

2. If she can't play bejeweled online, mine might get removed does the ipad now allow flash etc sites ?

3. External storage, do they have usb ports for mem sticks etc ?

4. Or is there a better option ?

BTW We don't need 3g, just wifi.

Don't get her an iPad just to use Excel and play Bejewled, what a waste of money for all the other things it can do.

Well I can use it for the other things besides costwise, its not much different than a new laptop.

I really thought, after seeing one in action, it will make laptops outdated, but lack of flash will really hinder it for surfing .. bit short-sited from apple ?

Hmm ... ah well it does seem they are cutting their nose of to spite their face ... they could [crazy crackpot voice] kill of laptops and obtain world domination mwahahahaha [/crazy crackpot voice].

Thanks for your input guys

*Edit* Maybe an Android tablet might be an option ?
