I would definitly have to wait till prices come down, but I just love reading about the IPads. I did see in a Best Buy flyer some other things called 'tablets' so I bet that is what you are talking about...but I didn't know when I saw them. So much to learn and check out...lol. Oh yeah....what size do you have in GB?

Okay Judy.....your turn...

Oh yes, the pictures can be deleted from the iPad - I just meant that you don't have to hook up the camera or phone every time you want to look at your pictures. There a jillions of photo apps you can put on the iPad, but I only use the one that came on it. I like it though because you can view pictures by "groups" such as dates. That is really nice for the pictures we took on the last trip to Alaska. We took SO MANY, but I can sort them by date so if I want to look at a pic we took in Fairbanks, I know that was at the beginning of the trip, so I look at the earlier dates. I'm sure you can do that on the computer too, I just haven't done it yet, and is so easy on the iPad.

Yes Janet, the flyer you saw for a "tablet" at Best Buy is a non-Apple iPad-type device. The iPad is so popular, so I am sure there will be lots of them in the next year or so.

Also Janet, the iPad doesn't get hot on your lap when you are sitting and using it. LOL! I remember that being a problem with your laptop and I have an ancient iBook laptop that always got so warm sitting on my lap!
