Best Tablet / iPad?

[OldManJimmy]

Got my ex a IPad and when I go over there it's a constant battle between her and my son who should have possession of the IPad. I agree with the ITunes issues and am not a big fan of it but do like the battery life and the look and feel of the IPad.

thanks man. i kno 0 people who practically use tablets so this really helps

Also remember that you can always jailbreak the iPad-A lot of paid for apps become free, and a bunch of stuff gets unlocked for the user to mess with. I've only used an iPad but can say, that its really smooth. and I liked using it. Hardly any crashes or anything. One problem is no Flash, but it was once in a while I encountered a website that needed Flash.

yeah that flash thing could get annopyin. i jailbroke my girls iphone before good to kno people do it with ipads

talked to beto alot today said hes had issues with a few of the android 3 tablets..so i may end up being an ipad owner .

oh yeah when u buy it try and do it through school or something, at my school we get discounts and such on computers, also online sometimes there are specials....at my school we get like 100dollars off a mac or like 10 percent..example: my buddy bought a macbook...got the special where he got the free ipod touch and got 100 dollars off through school, sold ipod and basically got a macbook for like 8 or 900 dollars....not a huge discount but its something

You cant plug a USB into it, reason I wont get one.

[kevin09]

they have adapters for usb and sd cards dude

but i guess cant use it to transfer files haha just photos and crap? this got me curious so im looking around now...hopefully there is a way or atleast for me to use an sd card or something...

best vid i found in the few minutes i searched YouTube - Place USB and Micro SD files onto your ipad

i went to best buy and played with the ipad and wouldnt ya kno it both xooms were broke. not a great sign imo

so someone who has one of these chime in on how you get files other than pics etc on there.

also i would like something i can sync with my Outlook contacts at work. ??

i really havent seen much useful stuff come out of jailbreaks usually its for customizing right?

if your still not sure on an iPad, this would be the only android tablet I would consider
