Reading on my iPhone is too difficult. I have to hold it too close and the text is either too small or too oddly formatted.
Correct me if I'm wrong but looks to me that you chose iPad because it's an apple product not because of it's features?

You know how Apple users are. It is a lifestyle choice.

I never could understand such people. Why cling to one company's products when there are plenty alternatives out there, and most of time the alternatives are better. iPads case is a good example.

Apple makes great quality products, I've never had a problem with any of their things. But I do agree about the iPad, I'd rather get a touch screen netbook.

Apple products are a recent choice for me. However, I have significantly less issues with them than products from other manufacturers. Therefore, the peace of mind is worth the extra cost and perhaps lack of some features.

My experiences with windows devices have been... Well... Less than pleasing.

Problems with the iPad already?

Please read my diary that I wrote when travelling and working in Japan for three months. It is also packed full of information. I hope that it can inspire you to have an adventure too.
Please contact me if I can help you with advice or information.
