Excellent resource for those of us considering this move. I’ve written a couple articles on my take on this… but I’ve yet to actually BUY and iPad. I hopefully will be getting an iPad 2 in a few weeks here in Canada (if you US folks don’t buy them all up!).
I added a link to this site in my article:

I think my main hesitations have been solved. One major app I use, Accordance, for Bible study and research (pretty much THE app for that on any platform), is now available for the iPad. I also am a musician, so I was concerned about being able to play live guitar or keyboard… and I think the new iPad 2 has proven that is no problem, and I’d guess that would also be the case for the original (but, now I feel doubly confident).
My other issues, are probably similar to yours. The lack of a normal file system is a pain, but workable. Apple needs to do some serious work on iWork, but again, it’s probably coming and can be worked around.
Thanks much, -Steve
Thanks for posting Steve (and for the link). And yes, it seems as if the iPad 2 has you pretty much covered. Btw I play guitar as well, and use the Amplitube apps which are a lot of fun. I also use the company’s physical guitar input tool – it works pretty well though I see that others are appearing on the market and I’ll likely check them out at some point!
Well, here’s hoping to a big fat MobileMe/iWork/file system overhaul!!
what recommended memory size would you suggest? I have the 16 gb and i am trying to use my iPad for every thing other than my picture and video editing. I just downloaded note shelf and it seems to enable me to do a lot for 5 bucks. I was wondering if you have a list of suggested apps?
Thanks for posting. I have to admit I don’t know the app you mentioned – I’ll check it out.
My short list of recommended apps include iWork, Dropbox, Netflix, your cable provider app if they have one, and Goodreader, which is basically a Swiss army knife for the iPad. It does…an insane amount of things!
As for size, I always recommend “as much as you can afford.”. It just makes life easier when it comes to managing media, whether music, photos, or video. I have the 64GB and would have paid more for 128 if it’d been available! Perhaps with the ipad3…
