2.  Click on Steve Jobs to start the video  http://thurly.net/vn3 http://thurly.net/vn3

3.  Idea was to have Bb access  Mail  Web ...While traveling overseas and teaching!

4.  3G is good for when a WiFi is not near. $29 a month unlimited.  3G plan does NOT work overseas  Choices: a country SIM card or a special plan, which I bought  VERY EXPENSIVE PLAN!

5.  The international “Data Roaming” plan worked but very very slow  Workflow was to turn on, download emails, turn off data roaming  Read emails, answer, then quickly turn data roaming back on

6.  Purchased a 60 cents a minute WiFi plan  VERY SLOW  Have to work quickly like experiences in Venice

7.  Still in testing  It works for asking and answering discussion posts  Not for any Bb heavy lifting!

8.  Near a wifi? GREAT! Safari, mail, all work fine and fast.  3G is slower if not near wifi but works.  More and more apps for iPad are going up.  EASY to carry. Light in weight.  Connected to my email, contacts, and calendar through MobileMe (all of my computers sync up nicely)  Easy to read books and magazines and do web research

9.  NOT a replacement for laptop or desktop!  A big harder to carry than an iPhone/iPod but text easier to see  On screen keyboard not as easy as regular keyboard (but can hook a Bluetooth keyboard to it)  iPad app not quite ready  Can write, but not like on computer

10.  Safari browser  Email  Drudge, FoxNews, USA Today, etc...  Dropbox  Twitter  Facebook  Ibook  P2G – Flickr portfolios  WattPad: ebooks  Zinio Magazine Reader
