I love my iPad! The screen is stunning so it makes for a great way to show photos to clients and friends. It is also great for web surfing, I'm on it right now. I don't turn mine off, just leave it asleep (battery drain in sleep is ~ 1% a day) from sleep to being online is a matter of seconds so it is handy for looking stuff up on the fly. I also like the small size, easy to slip in a bag when visiting friends, so I can pop online and check email and the forum while away from home. My wife was sceptical, but within a month of me getting one she'd got one too!

Ha ha, its got a superb quality screen and saves me lugging my 17.5 inch laptop everywhere..

Ah .... boys and their toys!:rolleyes:

Nite chaps and a Happy Christmas.

Never seen one of those, do they bump into trees a lot???

A friend of mine got his kid an ipad2 for Christmas (different world). I can see why people like them good bit of kit. Cost too much for me, wait for the ipad3 to come out then look at the ipad2 maybe.

I have an iPad 2. Amazing bit of kit. Once I have edited all my images, I make a copy of them for back up into iCloud. These are then available to me anywhere in the world as long as I have an Internet connection. The I mages can also be added directly onto the iPad. Which serves me well as my portable portfolio I show to potential clients.

I don't feel the need to resize images as the iPad seems to do a fine job of doing it for you when you want to view them.

i resize to 999x666 240dpi love the ipad2

Nemesis if you plan to use as a portfolio they are a good bit of kit. I use mine to take to clients houses and link to the TV, which works really well as the larger images give it a bit of the wow factor.

They are expensive for what they are though, and a smaller and much less expensive note book would do a similar job

ipad 128gb
 

An ipad 128gb version has been announced and is due to launch on Feb 5th. At £739 I think I'll stick with my laptop.

I never had to resize any photo in my iPad. I think the iPad Photo software has been developed in a way that it fills the screen with your photo by avoiding some part of it. This what I've noticed many times.
