This iPad2 is my 1st although my daughter has multiple ipod,shuffles, Mac desktop with huge screen but even though my heart was set on iPhone, in Verizonwireless store, the salesman was effective in showing me that Thunderbolt was far more versatile. It changed my mind completely snd I find it thrilling in its function. Music is not my thing. When buying new laptop, I checked with daughter who is manager of IT in global company and recommended that I stay with Windows at this time. I needed 17" screen and the transformer is HEAVY! but I'm not in airports often and I like the large screen. It seems that Apple PC's do not get hit with virus issues like Windows deals with daily. I need a mix and I'm enjoying the iPad2.
