No data plan needed unless its 3G, which it does not sound like it is. Load up on books, check out iTunes for iTunes U since he is going to college. Check out some podcasts that teach another language. And, of course, get some games... iPad specific games though.
And if it does have 3G, you are not tied to a contractual data plan. You can setup the plan a month at a time, on and off as you please. You just need to make sure you tell them to turn it off before they re-up you for another month.HTH
You sync from your computer with iTunes to each of your devices -- not from device to device. You can set what you sync for each individual device in iTunes.do you have to do anything special to sync from 1 device to a different device, so you don't get the wrong stuffYou can have multiple devices on one computer sharing one iTunes account, and having a different set of applications, and media on each device. I have 1 iPad, 1 iPhone, and 3 iTouches on one account. The three iTouches are for my kids (2B + 1G) so they have differing choices of apps and media. Having everything on one account allows you to share applications (if you want) without having to pay for them multiple times.Ok it's that time of year again when we I debate on a purchase...
Question -
If we have 1 pad - is there a way to separate itunes to have ipad only stuff. Like we don't want to be syncing my wifes ipod songs.
2 ipads - how easy is it to separate itunes accounts so only my stuff shows up when I plug it in.
Do you just do most of the stuff on the Ipad to sync?
I found it to be a pita to rightclick on a player and mark them off using excell on my laptop. the ipad looks like the perfect thing for drafting. I'm actually going to create a simple cheatsheet app for the ipad so I can mark them off easy, use it for practice mocs, etc.
Ok - I haven't dealt with itunes alot, usually after my wife and son messed something up and then they get mad at me when I say I'm not sureYou sync from your computer with iTunes to each of your devices -- not from device to device.

They obviously set something up wrong because they are constantly complaining about getting each others stuff.I'm guessing with the IPAD you don't connect it too often to a PC anyway right? Just download direct to the IPAD
On the device go to Settings > Store and you can turn off automatic downloads.Ok - I haven't dealt with itunes alot, usually after my wife and son messed something up and then they get mad at me when I say I'm not sureYou sync from your computer with iTunes to each of your devices -- not from device to device.

How?Im really noticing a lot of glare now when i try to watch things on here during the day. Its perfect for viewing at night in the dark, but the glare is quite distracting during the day at times.
You might get a message to the effect of "Your device can only be synced to one account and that syncing to this account will erase your data". Then you'll be prompted to confirm that you want to overwrite it. So iTunes doesn't just erase your #### if you hook it up to a different machine... it takes a few clicks to do that.Nevermind, I misread that you have the same iTunes account on both machines. If that's the case, both machines should have the same information and apps, no? At any rate, you can disable auto sync on the second machine and it should leave your iPad alone when it's connected.

Nope. I honestly can never see being with out some sort of tablet going forward until some new technology comes that provides a better Internet portal.

That's a pretty good idea.
one upside to chosing iPad over some random android device is the aftermarket.... I swear there are 100 of ANY accessory for every 1 designed for an android device (aside from possibly kindle fire, which is likely still at 25 to 1 or 50 to 1) 
I still really like the form factor of the tablet, but this just feels too limited. Not being able to use websites on flash or whose script the browsers can't handle gets really frustrating. I don't think this software is ready for being a stand-alone device.
Just download iSwifter. It allows you to view flash based web sites. It takes less than 5 seconds to switch between Safari and iSwifter if you run into a vid you can't see.
If I rip a DVD with multiple audio tracks, can I select which version I want to watch/listen to?
Never. And I'm use my iPad a good 3 hours a day.
Does this 100% fit the IPad 3? If not what is the best new case that's similar?
Any case that has a cover and back cover is ideal. Forget the "smart cover" or back case slips.
Yeah, for $50. No thanks. You can get decent cases for cheaper than that. I actually bought one for $30 and enjoy it much better than any smart case. To each their own.
Which case do you have?
I just got this for my ipad2. This thing flat out rocks. 100x better than the smart cover.
That looks really cool. But it doesn't look like they've made an updated one for the latest iPad.
I bought a case off Amazon, original price was $150, but got mine for $50... with a keyboard. Its a Blurex case. Typing takes a little time to get used to but if smaller hands are using it, it may not be so bad. This case is for business and I seldom use it however the keyboard is worth the money anyway.The case I use most of the time is a kid-friendly case that I got for $30 from Toys'r'Us. It works, protects, and is fun. And, if I want, the keyboard works with either.
Depends on what she wants to do.I use mine as a Kindle, to play games, facebook, twitter, browse the internet almost more than I use my desktop. I rarely use it for music.I only have the Wi-Fi version and it does the trick just fine for me. I don't have a need for a 3G plan and I travel 2-3 weeks out of every month. I just load it up with things I'm going to need before I leave.It's definitely worth the price IMO.ETA: Netflix/HBOGO/other movie programs as well.I like that I can head to bed and if I'm not tired, fire up a movie on Netflix, etc.
I'm in the market for some kind of tablet, sell me on yours.I caved and picked up a 32GB wifi today, already own an iPad 2 (anyone looking to buy?
I think I read that the energy from a gallon of unleaded gas will power an iPhone for 22 years.
