NEVER Buy an iPad. It is only an expensive toy. You CANNOT do anything serious with it at all, unless you jailbreak it.
You can buy an adapter and connect it to your beamer or TV. Works perfectly up to the moment you want to watch a film you purchased on iTunes (Sucks also by the way). Then it blocks the output and tells you “protected video is not authorised for this screen”.

You see? It sucks!!! Total waste of money! Get an Android Pad that is open and you can just plug it to your computer, use it as an external drive, open the files you moved to the tablet ON THE TABLET ITSELF (witch you cannot on the iPad unless you jailbreak it).

As a Mac-User I had expectations for the iPad. I say expectations, because I see no use whatsoever in this device now!

@Jessie P
Put it on eBay and buy something else, or If you have kids, install DoodleBuddy.
I did not get an iPad and propably won’t, the only use I can find for it is for the children games for my 2 year old. But then it would be way to expensive. So nope I will skip it.

Got one for Xmas, even though I expressed serious reticence. Just as I suspected: useless. My MacBook does everything the iPad does, but much more ergonomically—and cheaply. I don’t want to have to buy little bloblets of the internet just because they’re “cool looking”. Great, I can purchase an impressive-looking periodic table for $14. Uh… okay. Why do I need this? Lets see: the free NYT app is unreadable b.c. it’s so small and doesn’t zoom. I stream videos on my laptop-which is larger and doesn’t require stamina to watch a 2 hour movie. I don’t read books electronically. I don’t need another gaming system. The email interface blows. As does the horrendo, hunt and peck, touch keyboard. And I’m not sure where and when I’m supposed to use it. Am I to schlep it to work? Even if I had time during the day, and I didn’t have access to, you know, a computer and internet, my office doesn’t have WiFi. So, the subway? I’d prefer not to get mugged if I can avoid it. And at home, I’ve got the laptop, on which I can do multiple things: listen to Pandora, check email, and write bitchy comments about the iPad. Please, someone tell me what this thing is for. I’ve got to be missing something.

Actually after reading some of the comments here it occurs to me some of the issues/problems are of the owners own making… stupid user syndrome. You have to know how to load it and what to load to use it. You also have to read.

Yup, it’s big ipod… why would anyone want to view movie on a tiny 2 inch screen???? The ipad is great for what it’s intended for. Email, Web, Reader… etc. If you want computing you use you Macbook… simple.

I’ll bet lots of Apple bashers would crap on it if it did tricks… Go back to your Microsoft touch device like the tiny HTC.. it does so much more hahahaha…

No Flash player!!!!!!!
Cannot view 90% of the videos online, even restaurant websites who have a scroll down menu.
I bought this piece of crap without realizing all of this. By the time I found out why I could not view all I should be able to, it was too late to return.
Even to print you need another computer!!!! If I need another computer to print from, then why would I buy this piece of crap in the first place??? Stupid me.
Apple screwed me again, not just from the extremely low performing battery on the iPod mini I bought years ago and the 15 inch notebook that had two complete hard drive failures within two years, but with this piece of crap Ipad.
F*^# You Steve jobs.

iPad Hell yeah I am going to buy one. As soon as everyone goes to my website and donates .25¢ or more. As soon as I have enough money to buy one. I will Open the box seal the holes and take it as deep as we can underwater then at a target range. Put my high powered rifle on it make entertainment for all. Upload the video for all to see. If people donate too much I got a friend with a stick of dynamite and we can blow it up.
