Just got an Ipad 2.....

Same as above for me too. I just use it for general day to day everything! It's great if you want to look at your own stuff and have access to the wireless network but can't use your work computer, so Youtube...Facebook an the like.

I sometimes watch stuff in bed as well if the Mrs is sleeping an I don't wanna wake her up.

@CRUMPLYPORK - The issue you're having usually means it needs to go into recovery mode. I know this option seems to present itself a little easier when connected to a Mac than PC..although you're not getting that far at the moment so that won't help.

Try hooking it into another PC if possible. Failing that, take it to one of the "Genius" folks at the Apple Store. If they can't fix it you're entitled to a replacement inside of 14 days.

Don't be put off by this though, I've never had any issues with mine, and it will almost certainly be because it was in the middle of an update and iTunes is scrambling to try and work out what software version the iPad is on.

If you want some support on it mate I'm more than happy to do so if Apple are being awkward =]
 
@dav3evans it's sorted now I just plugged it into a different USB and it worked fine,

This is my second day of using the iPad it's great, I haven't turned my pc on since,
Best buy I've made this year tbh, I was also a believer of I have an iPhone so why bother with an iPad but now I know why people have both,

Good good =] yeah they're pretty awesome... An I also want to get both. Choice now, or in 3 months rather... IP4 or 4S ;)
 
+1 on recently buying an iPad 2.

Always wanted one from the launch of the original but finally managed to get myself into financial position to buy one and I love it. Its just the ease of use for quick and smooth browsing that has wow'd me straight out of the box. Worth every penny.
 
Agree with everything that has been said so far. I've had my iPad (first gen) for what feels like ages and it simply hasn't missed a beat. Totally different selection of apps out there compared to the iPhone and most of the time this is because it has a much larger screen.

Great device if your traveling or going on holiday due to the fact that its so portable compared to a bulky laptop and I use it for games/movies/browsing etc. And have had an iPhone 3G since launch (about time to upgrade to the 4S when funds allow :o ).

Loving the Sky Go app at the moment. :)
 
just picked up an iPad2 32Gb yesterday and have been very impressed so far, very handy around the living room :D
hoping to purchase logitechs new device soon so i can control all my gadgets, currently use a harmony 1000 but can see that being defunct soon
 
I bought one. Used it for the morning. Was fun, but then I picked up my SGS2.... and it did the exact same.... Ipad returned.

Thanks for that, the only problem with your argument is they are nothing alike.

Seconded... Is this comparing them in terms of functionality as a media remote? If that's all you're using it for you did a good thing returning it.

iPad 1 for £100... pretty good deal imo. However it does mean you almost certainly won't get any warranty. What kind of prices are they going for on eBay?

I don't care about that. Its my best mate who's offered it me. I wanted an iPad 2 but can't really afford. Its more for safari and books so it'll do me fine until I can afford the iPad 2.
 
It's a nice consumption device. If I have web articles I want to read, I'll add them to my read later list, and open them up on the iPad.

Also, with iOS5, it has the 'Reader' functionality in Safari which makes reading on it even better. It is lovely. The games on the iPad are more attractive to me than on the iPhone, the larger screen make them much more playable.

There are all sorts of apps that make consuming media and information really nice. It isn't, for me, all that useful for production, or for much serious stuff. Though some people have adapted well to using it as so.
 
Question, does the WiFi slow down when the battery is getting low?
Reason why I ask usually my iPad loads you tube vids in seconds but now when my iPad is at 12% battery the Internet connection seems to have Slown down,

Might seem like a daft question but just wondered,
 
Is there any ideas on when the Ipad3 will come out? Not sure if I should wait and see if it comes out in February or just get one now?
 
I use my iPad every day for general web browsing to help my 10 minutes either way on a Hovercraft pass. It stays in my car, so it's nice having the internet everywhere.

I'll also use it for general browsing/facebook in the comfort of my Sofa :P
