Thanks for the tips Benjamin - I'll check them out. I'm a weird one Phil in that I don't have a mobile phone and my venerable G4 laptop is only used for recoding rehearsal parts for our choir now - the iPad can do everything else. And for me it will offer 3G data access which is something I've wanted my iPod touch to do since day one so I'm looking forward to all that that can bring and as my backpack goes most places with me so will my iPad. I can see I will need another USB cable to charge or I'll be endlessly disconnecting all the time as my early Intel Mac doesn't have the power to do anything but trickle charge it.
iBooks downloaded and I look forward to finally being able to read all my Learn French PDFs on the train. Wooohooo.
