The ipad is here!

Just got an ipad for my class. I'm so excited. I have been browsing and trying out apps all week. I will update my findings and how I've been able to implement the ipad in my guitar class. So far the results have been good. Stay tuned!

Here are the basics:

I purchased the 64 gig, wi-fi only model. I plan on using this mainly in class, using the school's wi-fi, but I did purchase the 64 gig version so that I can download a lot of apps, and files when I don't have the internet. This version cost $699 + $38 for the official apple suede case. (A must I think).

Now you can buy the same model with the option of paying $30 a month for AT&T's 3G service, (which by the way is not covered under the iphone plan you may already have). But it costs $829 for that model. I really didn't think it was worth the extra $, plus another $30 a month for the data plan. (I will use my Droid 2 if I really, really need something on the go).

I will update later with some of the apps, and how I used them for my class later.
