My birthday is coming up and my sister wants to buy me something, so Im thinking of asking for an ipad, which my friend keeps telling me I MUST have. I use a PC at work, an iMac at home that was given to me - I do a lot of crosswords and lexulous, thought the ipad might be a wonderful addition for word search, etc. I write articles for local paper, read magazine articles... New technology is overwhelming to me, I still use a motorola cellphone buying minutes as I need it. what can you tell me about the ipad?
