It was great when I got delayed 5 hours in HNL - watched a couple of movies via my Netflix account!

Yes, I had bought a padded case that was just a couple of inches longer than the iPad, slipped that into my purse (large!) along w/ the charger cord and my iPhone. Same cord works for both of course so I only needed the one. At Security I just took the iPad out of my purse and laid it alongside in the bin and zipped right through. I also have the magnetic cover for the iPad that turns it off and on when you close and open the "cover" which doubles as a versatile stand.

Now, when our MLS finally makes the website compatible with browsers other than IE (grrrrr) I know I will use it a lot for work. I can buy an app that allows one to access your home or office computer from the iPad thereby allowing me to be on the MLS but you have to leave your computer on with that website open in order for it to work.

We have to buy a new printer today, so we will get a one with wireless capability, I'm interested to see now how I can "print" from the iPad too.

One of the most fun things for my trip, which was to a family reunion, is that I put a ton of photos in 2 or 3 "albums" on the iPad, and my relatives had a blast watching the slideshows as sometimes it is years between our visits, and since I live so far away, my visits back to Texas are too few and far between. One of my cousins put a lot of them on the slideshow he was doing for our big dinner in a restaurant where we had access to the 4 big TV screens in the center of the room, and he played that all during the evening. I was really glad I had taken the time to put the pictures on the iPad. Many of my older relatives do not go online that much so even though most of them are on my online albums, they had not seen them. It was a nice little addition to our evening.

When i was in the jury pool waiting to be picked i played card game's all day waiting for them to call me for the jury that was beening picked ..

Your right there is need for alot more website that can use a device like the ipad without the socalled flash part of the website..Your market area is really missing out on the socalled marketable use of the ipad when showing off a house with a 3D layout of the room might look with furniture in it ..

Not to mention looking up listings quickly and easily without having to lug a labtop around.
