Hi and congrats to your new awsome coming experience.
I myself have used the paddy since the first release of It In the US.
My fellow swedish people still have to wait a for a swedish official release

.
Hungry as i was back then I payed the huge price of 1314usd for a 3G 64gb model and before that i payed aprox 950usd for the simple one wi-fi 16gb.
But still....
I've have never given my ipads any second thoughts becuase its expensives.
Love them...
Everyday learn something new about apps, tweaks etc and the iPad era has only begun.
The potention of this devine little mashine is huge.
My first tip for u Is to think twice before upgrading the firmware when its available, easier to read about an uppdate then trying to downgrade, this has coused many users to be frustrated.
Cya put there in the forums.
