Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page. I usually find I discover one new interesting and useful piece of information about my iPad every day - and often not even what I was looking for!!
Hope to hear from you soon with your thoughts about the iPad.
Have fun and enjoy your iPad
If you don’t already have it you can download a copy of the iPad manual for free.
First, welcome to the iPad Forum - hope that you enjoy!
Second, although I'm new to the iPad2 myself, why not give the iTunes store the first try - along w/ music & TV shows, movies can be purchased or rented - I'm sure the selection is wide; just check out their rules.
Hopefully, others w/ more experience can 'chime in' - also, movies can be transferred from your computer onto the iPad, i.e. those you may have made yourself and/or films no longer under copyright - good luck!
