| 1189230 | 2011-03-25 03:01:00 | Hi everyone - given that iPad2 is available (or about to be), any comments on whether this upgrade from the first model has changed opinions as to its worth and "user friendliness"? I fancy one for sitting reading email, magazines, tutorials etc which I have stored on my pc and laptop, and browsing the net.... I would prefer a Windows equivalent but don't know that there is one? I am happy to be contradicted on this point.... I have a desktop and a Dell laptop, but neither are "curl up in a chair" gadgets... Bryden |

| 1189235 | 2011-03-25 09:42:00 | I have Telecom Home for my phone/internet package - the Samsung gadget appears to require Vodafone.... does this mean I have to pay for Vodafone to be an ISP in addition? Bryden PS Winpad - does it do the same things as the iPad? Surf the Net, read/send emails, read books, magazines, etc. |

| 1189236 | 2011-03-25 19:42:00 | I look at the ipads in the store, they look cool but I can't think what I'd actually use it for. A work colleague who is an apple fan swears by them though and I must admit his setup is cool, the ipad remote controls and accesses the imac and can use it's tv tuner to watch freeview. They seem to come into their own when paired with a mac of sime description. |

| 1189237 | 2011-03-25 19:45:00 | I think you can have all the alternatives, the iPad does stand out. I think it's for recreational use and it's fun to use and good looking, not for typing or running your fav software thou. At uni, virtually no one had any Pads, but they many do use a Netbook and type their essays out ...... or a Macbook. |

| 1189238 | 2011-03-25 19:52:00 | I think you can have all the alternatives, the iPad does stand out. Compared to the likes of the Motorola Xoom, can you explain how it stands out please? I'm thinking the colored covers are about the only way. Other than that, it's just another dual-core 1Ghz tablet with two cameras... There's quite a few of those now, and many more being released shortly! Other devices are coming out with the ability to both shoot and play back 3D content, even faster processors than just a dual-core 1Ghz, 4G LTE support for in the US, Gorilla Glass, and a host of other nifty features. |

It stands out, as in its actually available here. and its the cheapest tablet around of reasonable quality. |
