Ok, so I’m not Oprah. But I do have a list of my favorite things too

Apple Ipad
I am always skeptical when a new piece of technology comes on the market. I don’t want to be the one that pays to test the new device just so that it can be improved for others who would pay the same price for improvements in the technology. But in the case of the new IPAD, I just couldn’t resist!  I opted to purchase the 16GB with Wi-fi + 3G. This means that not only can I utilize free wi-fi when I come across it, but I also have the option to purchase an internet service through AT&T so that I can be assured to have Internet service even when wi-fi is not available. So far I have had great success with this device and have had very little “down time” when it comes to internet connection. I also purchased the optional keyboard dock which allows me the full size keyboard that you can dock your ipad in to recharge and the car adapter

This thing is awesome! And thanks to my tech savvy kids, I’ve been introduced to numerous “apps” that I really enjoy.

• Pandora – it allows me to listen to music just like a radio through the internet. (My husband plugs it up to some computer speakers in the garage when he’s lifting weights.)
• Paypal – I do a lot of business through Paypal. The app “pushes” notifications to me that I have received money.
• Facebook – a great way to update my status or see what others are up to at a glance.
• Maps – this is included when you get the ipad and I love it! I’ve used it as a GPS on more than one occasion.
• Gmail – a quick way to access my email account
• Netflix – works with your existing account so you can watch movies (airplane, hospital waiting area, on road trips)
• And lots more!

I’m very curious about some of the other accessories that you can buy – like the camera adapter. You can even purchase a service to allow you to use the ipad like a telephone!
