Hmm that's pretty neat. But the 3D is in the movement of the ipad itself relative to the viewer correct? You don't actually "see" the 3D at a stand still like the Nintendo 3DS where it sends two images, one to each eye?

I won a 64 gig iPad 2 from work on last Thursday, and am really enjoying this device! It's something I probably would have never bought, but I think this pretty much replaces my laptop.

I put on about $30 in games/apps and so I have quite a few goods ones already, but does anyone want to give a quick run down of must have apps, that I may or may not already have?

Lots of good stuff in here: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=60785, although I would probably just search that thread for "ipad" instead of reading it all the way through.

TSN app for iPad is very nice, btw.

Yeah, the TSN app is awesome! It works really smoothly and it definitely utilizes the iPad well.
Off the top of my head I think these are the ones I have so far;
Apps:
TSN, NHL Gamecenter, Flipboard, Friendly Facebook, Garageband, Life, TED, The Onion, Twitter, Evernote, Wifi Finder, IMDB, Netflix, Air Video Free, Life, CNN, Global Video, Instapaper
Games:
Infinity Blade, Angry Birds, World of Goo, Plants vs Zombies, Harbour Master, Aurora Feint 3, Puzzle Quest 2, Osmos,
I’ll take a read through this thread, but if anyone wants to chime in, let me know

Might as well get the CityTV app as well. Hotel Mogul is a pretty fun game.

Ironically, I would also add "appshopper" in order to expedite additional increasing app counts.

Cut the Rope, iBomber Defense, Dev Story, Hot Springs, Robokill, and Dead Space off the top of my head.

Thanks! I did install appshopper this morning, but made it filter only a free apps so I wasn't included to impulse buy again. I forgot about cut the rope, I did pick that one up too.

Jeez, at $1-$2 each, they really start to add up :S

That's correct. Still pretty convincing though.

Appadvice is good to keep up with Ipad and IOS news, and appstart by the same company tells you about all the essential apps for the Ipad.

It gets better, there's an ad for ad's too:

I think it's probably US only, but still...

Future shop sun ridge got over 60 iPads in their shipment yesterday according to the manager when I was there today. They have 3 left. All black. All the whites sold first. I guess most prefer white?

Aryan iPads are just superior.

Im pretty upset with my Ipad. I bought the Ipad1 at the end of February @ Bestbuy. I bought a wifi+3g. I have not had a reason to use 3g up until this weekend. I log on , buy my 25 dollars 2GB data plan for AT&T and wait for it to be activated. It activates but my 3g will not work. It shows I have an account , and I was charged for the 3g but everytime I try to log on to Safari away from wifi , it tells me I need to buy a data package ( which i already bought.) I try everything. I go to Apple and they tell me to Call ATT. I call ATT we trouble shoot and they tell me its defective and to take it back to where I bought it. I go to Best Buy . They work with it and accuse me of breaking it myself . Then said you should have bought our protection plan and we could help.

I simply asked " So I should spend 700 bucks on an item and then pay you an extra 150 bucks so the item does what its advertised to do?"
Pretty much I am hooped right now but I have an appointment at Apple tomorrow. Here is hoping everything works out !

I'm pretty sure apple will take care of you. I have a friend who dropped her year old iphone in the middle of the road and smashed it. Went into the apple store and they gave her a new (refurb) one for free.

Best Buy has a 14 day return policy, provided it isn't physically damaged. You bought it over a month ago, so it's not Best Buy's problem.

Call Apple and tell them that AT&T has troubleshot the device and has informed you that it's defective. They will make arrangements to take care of you.
