I got my iPad in Florida when I went on a trip to Disney world. When I got it someone had just returned this one still packaged up because their kid wanted one with more room on the solid state drive.<\/p>\n

When I got the iPad back to my hotel I synced it with my laptop. I couldn’t use the app store as I am Canadian but I was lucky today to be able to use the app store for the first time this morning at 10 am. I downloaded a bunch of apps. It was really fast and easy to do. The only problem I had was that it was hard to find apps that looked good and were free. I got the wordpress app right away so that this review comes right from it.<\/p>\n

Wifi is great plus it comes with 802.11 N which has a longer range than its predecessor 802.11 G. Wireless with long range is perfect for a guy like my who loves to be online a lot every waking moment of the day.<\/p>\n

The video playback is better then my laptop as the colors are better much like a LCD television. Which we have at my house. The iPad has even better display then a lot of televisions that are around at this time. I have watched quite a few movies on this iPad and all of them look really good. I find the Latest Harry potter movie to be really dark even with the screen brightness turned up all the way but I guess that is what it is meant to be like.<\/p>\n

The speakers are really nice too. I usually don’t wear headphones anymore as I can listen to them with my speakers. The speakers are not tinny at all and they are enjoyable to listen to.<\/p>\n

The icons for apps are really big. I really like that so I can see the apps better. A picture is posted at the bottom to show you what it is like.<\/p>\n

The speed of the processor is really fast. After a few days of playing on the iPad, I went back to the iPod, problem was it seemed just so slow.<\/p>\n

The photos application is a better fit for me as I can adjust the pictures, flip them around, swipe them back and forth much easier then with my iPod touch first generation.<\/p>\n

Battery life is phenomenal it lasts for me over 11 hours when I am playing on it and watching movies. It took a long time to get home from florida which was over 10 hours not including the car trip to the airport and from the airport to my home.<\/p>\n

The maps application works great too as my mom and I got lost a few times when we went to Florida and I found a way to get back to our hotel from the maps application that is on the iPad.<\/p>\n

Overall I have this where ever I go as I can use it just about anywhere with wifi. It is easy and fun to use. It has a lot of potential to be the number 1 tablet out there.<\/p>\n
