    So far so good. I got all of her applications onto it now and she is trying them out. Kathi does all of our navigation and routing and gets me fuel stops etc. Everything but drive, and I was tired of her having to try and do all of this on her Iphone. This will be a vast improvement. I bought the WiFi only one. I just turn on the Iphone Hotspot and use it when rolling down the road. Its an IPAD2, 16gig. Was $399.00 at Walmart. I wanted the 32gig, but they are no where to be found.

    Ipads are overrated. A laptop is cheaper and can do more for free. Including dvd burner.:biggrin_255

    We have laptops on board too, but they are too bulky for the quick checks. She is also going to use it as an E Reader and I can get my Kindle back... :)

    I'm going to need the higher Gig one as I need to keep all sorts of records on it and it will be only used for the trucking business and will use my laptop for games only lol.

    I also need a Kindle or Nook as well but that is a want not a need right now :yes2557:

    Apple now has an app so that you can read Kindle books on it. I logged that app into my amazon kindle account and leave the books in the cloud and we can both read them now. Not a bad deal.

    The only 32gig we could find at the stores was the Ipad3 and it was $599.00.
