We looked at the iPad2, but ended up with an Android-based with a keyboard and mouse dock(16 hour battery when together). It also has a built in USB port for flash drives and the pc-compatability should be seamless.
A major drawback is the memory refresh. It takes a second or so to scroll down to the bottom of a webpage. That is unacceptable in this day and age, IMO.
The Android organizational GUI is still very quirky and beta.
The store only sold Android tablets with hardware that's tailor-made to work with a specific ISP. (wtf?)
The Apple did have an inexpensive ISP plan with it, but after our previous negative experience with trying to purchase mp3s from iTunes, we decided not to get locked into the "Apple World".....from which there is no escape.
One essential thing to do is to turn off Autoupdate/Autorefresh on running apps!
Supposedly we used our 5GB allowance in only 11 days while just basic surfing without videos/etc.
That was a bit of a shock.
