How are you finding your iPad?

Do you love it, feel indifferent, or are you even outright disappointed with your iPad?

Don't have a Ipad as i use the computer and my ipod touch (plus i have a kindle)....but i'm thinking of getting something with a bigger screen either a lap top or an ipad...the only thing that concerns me is the 'shelf life' of the battery,my ipod is around 3 years old and the battery is now only holding 80% of the charge i suspect i'll need to buy a new battery soon, is the ipad the same?

I have had an iPad from the beginning and use it more than my Macbook, though that is important as a backup of my music etc. I now only use the iPad for all my reading thats newspapers and magazines, which now include video and other media making the magazine more enjoyable, the 'Lakeland Magazine' is outstanding.

We were away at York not too long ago, and were let down by a restaurant, but was able to get into 'Jamies' and had a great night all done on the iPad (No glasses needed, forgot them) and wifi connection in Costa.

Only 2 weeks ago, my better half went and brought herself an iPad Mini after a terrible time with her Kindle HD and loves it to bits, as she says it just works and as the rest of the family have iPhones or iPads finds she has more contact with them, which is great as seeing the grandchildren using FaceTime is just so nice as they're so far away! She now says the cost difference is worth it and it actually feels like she has something reliable in her hand.

I have had my iPad about six months and am totally in love with it!!!!! But I don't tell everyone!!!!
Soon after getting it a friend sent me the video as seen above and many times I have replayed it....I have a giggle each time.
My biggest problem with my iPad is that I spend too much time on it....so simple to crank into action. I do still respect my lap top though and would hate to think I was not thankful to the old workhorse.
I had decided to wait for the Kindlefire but it was constantly postponed and at my time of life I can't wait for ever....I shall remain forever faithful to my iPad but read on my Kindle reader that I have enjoyed for almost two years now.
What comes next?

I won my ipad from a competition run by Argos and all the family were trying to buy it off me. I told them I wanted to have a play first and see how I got on. I love it and can't imagine not having one now. Great to take on overnight stays when I am babysitting as well.

I love all the free apps and one of my favourite games is Angrybirds along with Wordswith friends etc. :-*

Loving it!! In fact using it right now...
If you're stuck for info on "how-to-do" stuff on the iPad, then I highly recommend the "tips & tricks" app in the App Store. You can get the lite version for free or pay just 69p for the full monty...

The advantage I find is that information is easy to read,as it has a good background light, and the print can be enlarged to suit those with poorer eyesight

I have an Ipad, the original one. I love it. Once I have won the lottery I will be upgrading to the lastest, but until then my Ipad an I will remain best buddies.
Plus points for me are; Its so easy to use and everything I want ( other than coffee making) is in the one place. I get up, read the paper, check email, get sucked into facebook, catch up on TV soaps I missed all in the comfort of my chair on my Ipad.

Downside, Ipad is so expensive compaired to Android tablets. If money is tight there are some quiet cheap Androids, maybe not top of the range, but very usable, to be found.
