I have an Ipad. I love the damn thing. My first Apple product ever. I was planning on buying a Kindle as I travel two weeks a month. I decided on getting an Ipad instead. I have been on a cross country trip to Phoenix and a trip overseas. Both times, I read books, watched movies, and used the thing the entire time. The battery never got below 50%. Absolutely awesome if you are a traveler. As soon as they make a Slingplayer for the Ipad I will have no use for my laptop on short trips.
