Junior will understand why his drawings have been replaced
Because the iPad is such a versatile device, it’s as difficult to predict what you’d use it for as it is to predict what you use your computer for, beyond a few generalities.
As you might remember from Part 1 (Form Factor and the Smart Cover) of this review, I was testing out the new iPad 2 while awaiting Jury Duty, and unfortunately I was selected for a trial. This involves spending a lot of time in the courtroom and some downtime hanging out in the jury room. I quickly discovered one of my fellow jurors, who worked as a Geek Squad Manager, also had an iPad 2. While I’ve been an iPad user since the first iteration, Juror #1 was a first-time user.
One week is not really enough for me to get a wide and representative cross-section of how the general iPad-using populace employs their devices, particularly when it’s one week of mostly being locked in a jury room; but at the very least, I can tell you the differing ways in which both I and Juror #1 used ours, both in the building and at home, over the course of that first week.
What I Use the iPad For
As I mentioned, I’ve been an iPad user from early on, using the Wi-Fi only model. The iPad 2 I tested out had 3G so it added some functionality that was new to me.
