I've used Logmein and it works pretty well. The resolution works much better than on an iPad 2 (my monitor resolution is higher than an iPad 2). On the new version it looks like a miniature version but you can zoom in and move around as per usual.

I got the white one because it was all London Drugs had at the time. I didn't feel like driving around town, or waiting to find a black one.

I couldn't care less about the color. I guess I'm a girl too.

I got a darker smart case for it.. the kind with the magnet, so it's alright, I don't ride as much heat as I did when I didn't have it. I heard London Drugs is actually the place to go for Apple stuff-- if the Apple store is sold out of something. Going to remember that for sure.

Just to clarify for anyone reading this thread, Sopure was talking about some random drugstore in London, ON. He definitely was NOT talking about London Drugs, so I wouldn't even waste your time going there if I were you.

Seriously. London Drugs = bad. Some random drugstore in London, ON = good.

This is a question for all of the WiFi only iPad people. Do you find that you miss having GPS on your device? I understand that it will do a best effort location services based on WiFi hotspots, your connection, etc, but do you ever encounter times where it would be beneficial to have GPS? Any insight provided is greatly appreciated.

^ So far, no. I always have it tethered to my phone, so if GPS is needed bad enough, I can always use that.

I didn't even realize it didn't have GPS until just now.

So, no.

Got one of these for my Bday and hate to say it but I love the thing. Its easy to use and the clarity of the screen is just amazing. Never thought I would be an Apple guy but this has made me rethink switching to an iPhone for syncing. I'm glad I found a way to get movie to it for free that was my biggest concern, being stuck with iTunes. Still not sure its worth the price but I guess it's not that bad compared to a laptop. I really need a case for it though feels like I'm going to break the thing.

I got to test out LTE the other night in Sherwood Park, it was downloading at 2ish mb per second with 1 bar of connectivity. I was impressed, it's better than my Shaw connection at home.

I got mine as well. This is my second DODOcase. They won't offer you the protection of other cases if you're rough with your iPad but the quality and appearance awesome.

I'm curious about this too. I was just about to buy one at the Apple story yesterday, but decided to hold off.

I don't know that I have a need for a keyboard case, but this looks interesting:
