I am a book reviewer outside of a full time college student, so I will probably be using the keyboard quite a bit. Once I have it I am pretty sure that I will be on it 24/7 and while I have wifi at work and school itd be nice when I travel to use 3g when possible.
I have at the moment probably 75 movies and am always adding to my collection so movies will be a yes, not sure on pictures since they will be on my iphone more than likely. And gps would be great so I don't get lost so much.
Thanks so much
Ashleigh

Wait until you have had it for a while. On the one hand, there's no cost advantage to getting these things at the same time as the iPad, and on the other hand, after owning and using it for a bit, you will have a MUCH better sense of, for example, how much typing you're actually going to be doing, and how (in)convenient the virtual keyboard is.

Go for the 64 GB 3G version. You won't be disappointed. After a couple of weeks you'll forget how much you paid, and appreciate the space and accessibility.
As for keyboard, it sounds like you'll want one, but I'm not one of the people who can usefully advise on that.

Yep - get the 64BG 3G - with what you've said, it's what you will need.
About keyboards: Zagg makes a nice little one, is the same as the Logitech one. So does Adonit. But neither one of those is any better to type on than the ipad keyboard itself. They both are undersized and if you're a fast touch typist you won't be happy with them.
I'd go with the same Apple bluetooth keyboard that they sell. The keys feel good, it's full sized and very light and quite portable.
Probably someone else has more ideas about other keyboards and possibly there's one that is close to the size of the ipad but has standard-sized keys.
That's my 2 cents worth, though.
A few weeks ago I took my iPad to a conference planning to take notes on it using my Zagg keyboard. Forgot to charge the keyboard and found it didn't have enough battery left to be useful, so I just typed on the keyboard on the iPad and it worked fine. Made more mistakes than usual, but between autocorrect and pauses in the lectures, I got it cleaned up.
So, the iPad itself isn't bad, etiher.

Yes, get the maxest you can!
Videos (movies) take a **LOT** of storage space so unless you want to be
frequently loading & unloading them you'll want as much as you can get your
hands on. Whether you sync by wifi or cable to a computer, or with the
cloud, it takes time & trouble -- sounds like you'll need to do some picking
& choosing so you can't just leave it all on auto-pilot.
You'll swear at yourself a lot less for spending the money for more storage
than you will if you're constantly running out of space or having to change
up your on-board-selection. :-)

Hi Ashleigh,
Glad you're getting an iPad 2. I'm sure you're going to like it as much as I do :-) So, on that note, here we go.
First, (IMHO) the iPad 2 is not a replacement for an MBP or an MBA for the power user. It doesn't do flash and it doesn't allow you to create document folders like you can do on your computer. Remember the limitations of an iPad 2 and you'll love it.
I have had an iPad since it first came out. I started with a wifi only iPad 16GB. There were times, not many, when I wished I had gotten the 3G one. My hubby had gotten the 3G one. He still has it. When the iPad 2 came out, I bought the 32GB 3G. I find the 32GB is the best for me but I don't need the 3G. There are plenty of hotspots where I can use their wifi when the need arrises. If you're going to be traveling quite a bit, then I suggest the 3G. You can turn it on when you need it on a month to month basis.
Given what you've said in your emails, I'm getting the idea that you'd be using your iPad 2 quite a bit and will be typing on it quite a bit. The easiest way for me to do this is to tell you how I've set mine up since I use it in somewhat the same way you do and have traveled with it for a couple weeks at a time. We'll be working with the 64GB 3G iPad 2 for this example.
Hardware and Cases
To go along with your iPad 2, you may want to get a camera connection kit. You will be able to read sd cards and offload pictures from your camera onto your iPad 2. You may find other uses for it searching around the web.
Doing book reviews, I imagine you'll be typing into your iPad 2 quite a bit. You may really like the virtual keyboard. I do but for extensive typing, I suggest checking out these cases: (the keyboards are bluetooth which will use up battery on your iPad)
Zaggmate for iPad 2 (http://www.zagg.com/accessories/ ) seems to be the most popular keyboard case for the iPad 2 for those that use a keyboard with their iPad. I have asked friends on Twitter what they recommend and they always say the Zaggmate case. The only problem I see with the Zaggmate is that there is no protection for the back of your iPad 2. It's a bit pricey for me at $99.99.logitech- ipad-2-keyboard- case?gclid= CK23h9LxoqwCFeoZ QgodYF_jDg
Zaggfolio (http://www.zagg.com/accessories/ ) for the iPad 2 is also a good case. You can use the case with or without the keyboard in the case. It is also a bit pricey at $99.99zaggfolio- ipad-2-keyboard- case
Incase Book Jacket Classic (http://goincase.com/products/ ) is my favorite case for my iPad 2. This is not a keyboard case. I find I keep this case on my iPad all the time. I had one for my iPad 1 and just loved it. It doesn't have magnets in it, so it won't turn off your iPad screen. It wears very well and priced at $49.95.detail/book- jacket-classic- cl57924/4
I thought the Apple smartcover was a bit pricey ($39 for pleather and $69 for leather) for what you get and it doesn't protect the back of the iPad. My hubby got me one out of the blue, so I looked around and found on Amazon a clear plastic snapon back that works with the Apple smart cover (http://www.amazon.com/Smart- ). It works very well and I like it with the smartcover quite a bit.Cover-Partner- Slim-Fit- Apple/dp/ B004XIT4NO/ ref=sr_1_ 1?ie=UTF8& qid=1320613859& sr=8-1
An extra charging cord for your iPad might be nice too. One you keep at home and the other in your travel bag.
Software:
First thing, you'll want to get some offline (or cloud storage) to save your book reviews and whatever else to. I suggest Dropbox. You can get a free account with 2GB. If you find you use it all the time and 2GB isn't enough, you can buy 50GB for $9.99. I have the $9.99 account. I love the service, especially when I go on vacation. I put my pictures I've taken on Dropbox. If anything should happen to my iPad 2, I know I'll have my pictures when I get home.
One of my favorite apps that I use both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 is GoodReader (http://www.goodiware.com/goodreader ) at $4.99. It's not only a reader of documents, it allows you to zip files and upload them to cloud storage like Dropbox. It is a very robust app. To learn all it's features and what it does, reading the manual for it is a good thing although there's a good overview at the link I put in..html
Since you'll be doing book reviews, you'll want a book reader to read the books on. I would get iBook, Kindle, Google Books and Nook. That way you'll have choices to choose from and if the book you're wanting to read isn't in, for instance, iBook, you can check the other readers. The readers I've listed are FREE :-)
My hubby gave me a good find that he uses to take notes in college. He uses an app called Bento (http://itunes.apple.com/ ). It does so much more than what I'd use but for $4.99 it's well worth it. I don't know what it's compatible with in terms of writing notes and sending them to people. Hubby emails his notes to himself and then puts them into Pages on his computer.us/app/bento- for-ipad/ id363230518? mt=8
There's also iWork for the iPad. It has Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Each is downloadable separately.
There's all kinds of fun apps out there too. Those that I mentioned are ones I think would work for you in what you described you'd be doing in your email. I probably have missed an app or 2 but I'm sure others in the group can help you out too.
BTW, my disclaimer is that I was not paid to mention any of the apps I've mentioned or cases that I've mentioned. They are just favorites of mine and/or something that might work for you :-)

If you're going to be traveling quite a bit, then I suggest the 3G. You can turn it on when you need it on a month to month basis.

I have a white iPad2 and I don't have any problem with it regarding being "washed out". Regarding 32 vs 64g, I always buy the most memory I can get, knowing that I will fill it up regardless of how much I have. Regarding 3G service, I get that too, because I'm not always in reach of wi-fi service, and i always want all of my apps to work. If you don't have 3G some of your apps will not work when you're outside of wi-fi access.

I had a problem with my iPhone and pocket informant - all my appointments were put one hour ahead and the time on the phone was not changed to EST. I Did a hard reset (home button and off button held til apple logo showed) and all was proper. My iPad 2 had no problem!!!
My husbands pantech phone didn't display the proper time either until it was turned off and on.

Interesting.
My iPad1 was plugged in overnight, with a digital clock display up showing the time in large, dim, red numbers, and when I awoke, the time was correct (EST in my case).
I suppose I could have made an effort to stay up from 1:59 AM EDT to 3:01 EDT/2:01 AM EST to actually watch it switch, but I trusted it.
The iPhone (4S) was also plugged in overnight, but display turned off. When I turned it on in the morning, the time was also correct (EST).

It is odd, as my iPad 2 and the three other iPhones (1 x 3GS, 2 x 4)
all changed correctly, along with the MacBook Pro and four Windows
computers.

Mine did everything just fine. Of course there's no Sacramento, CA in the city list even though it's our Capitol city. Northern CA seems to be forgotten all the time. Apple always has Cupertino, CA though. I'm just thankful all of CA is one time zone.

And many hotels use passwords for their guest, whether you pay for the access or not.
In one hotel, even with the password to access their WiFi, I found I had a better signal using the WiFi for the motel across the street. I kept having horribly slow internet, which came from the neighboring residents using the hotel's WiFi for gaming. The neighbors were better hackers than the hired IT service providers for the hotel chain, but the WiFi from the motel did not reach the neighbors. I got refunded for the WiFi charge since I was a frequent flier with the hotel chain.

I really dislike most hotel internet wifi. As you said, it's horribly slow. I find 3G to be faster most of the time. So, if I have my iPad with me, I've always upgraded to the highest 3g access I can get for the month. At the end of the month, I go back to the smallest amount I can get.

To continue with Jim's thinking, apparently when you synced the iPad the apps were loaded from what you have already purchased. It appears that they may be buried in a folder of apps.

Upgrade Issues to iPhone 4s

I just upgraded to a 4s and did a sync off my iTunes on the MacBookPro.
Virtually none of the data in numerous apps copied over to the 4s. I have an app named "Air Sharing" that I used for putting photos in folders on the device, and none of the folders or photos copied. None of my "Fuel Gauge" info on four vehicles copied over. My Starbucks Qreader shows $0.00 which I know is wrong.
My 3Gs was named DCX in iTunes. Does the new one need to receive the same name? How do I do that? Or, is it too late now? Or is there some other fix for all the missing data.

Both times I've upgraded I did a restore from backup instead of a sync. I've found that works well.

I bought a 4S.
I backed up by wife's 3GS.
I backed up my old 4.
I restored the 3GS backup to the old 4.
I restored the old 4 backup to the 4S.
My wife now has a 4 with all the stuff on it that had been on her 3GS.
I now have a 4S with all the stuff on it that had been on the old 4.
The names can be changed, and are irrelevant to data continuity. They are a memory convenience for the user.
