Considering the iPad. I have a few Q's :)

Hi All, I’m in the UK and am very close to ordering my iPad. I have a few questions I was hoping you maybe able to help me out with. I want to be able to use my iPad for day to day browsing and e mailing as well as having a multimedia device with me to play music, films and check out pictures. My main concern is, is it worth investing in an iPad when a Laptop / Netbook can do all these things and are a lot cheaper.
1 .Will the iPad display any web site. I understand that apple and Adobe don’t like each other and the iPhone for example wont display any flash on sites you visit. This is a serious concern for me. I want to be able to view any site. I want to be able to play videos from the site ie BBC sites.
2. Are you able to buy a device in order to hook up a DVD/RW drive in order to take ot load data to and from the iPad.
3. If I want to print a document / email etc received or created on my iPad is there a way to do this without transferring the document to my laptop for printing.
4. Are there any serious compatibility issues with opening excel spreadsheets or MS Word documents on the iPad.
Thos are my questions for now although I’m sure I’ll have more soon.
Cheers ppl.

If the video is Flash, it will not play on an iPad/iPhone/Touch. There is no flash. If a website has been smart and converted their video to a supported format, it will play.
2. Are you able to buy a device in order to hook up a DVD/RW drive in order to take ot load data to and from the iPad.
No.
3. If I want to print a document / email etc received or created on my iPad is there a way to do this without transferring the document to my laptop for printing.
There are some printing apps in the App Store. You would need to research if any are compatible with your printer.
To be honest, it sounds like a laptop would be a more appropriate device for you based on your questions.

iOS does not support multiple users like a desktop OS does.
You can use a web interface to your respective email accounts
to keep things separate; but there is no provision for otherwise
separating photos, media, etc.
If you wish, you can contact Apple to let them know of your desire:

Does the iPad 2 have a hard drive?

Does the iPad 2 have a hard drive?

It will either have 16, 32 or 64 Gigabytes of memory. You cant access it like a harddrive but there are apps on the App Store that will make it act like a flash drive to hold files.

I have the iPhone and my own Apple ID. I would like the iPad to have my husbands Apple ID so we are able to communicate with each other (he is deaf). How can FaceTime and iMessage be set up to do this?

Log into each device with your own Apple ID's in Settings > iCloud.
Then, so you can share preiously purchased apps, log into both devices using the Apple ID used to make those purchases, but ONLY in Settings > iTunes and Apps Stores.
Verify that each device uses your own Apple IDs in Settings > Facetime and Settings > Messages.

Thank you for your response about pushing the headphones in all the way. I thought maybe I had a faulty jack. I actually had to push it in pretty hard. I wouldn't have pushed that hard had you not suggested it. Thanks

Does the ipad mini have built in wifi

I'm hoping to buy an ipad mini soon. But i want to use it for home and on the go. And i was wondering does the ipad mini have built in wifi? And if it does how do i turn it on. Is it like the iPhone and it gives you an option to turn on personal hotspot or what? Thanks

All iPad's have wifi capability. You do the wifi setup by using the Settings app.
You can pay extra for an iPad that has 3/4G cellular. Your iPad uses wifi when available. If not available it switches to cellular. You have to pay extra for the iPad's data plan with your chosen carrier.
If you have an iPhone, you can use it as a hotspot instead of using cellular.

Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

Does the iPad mini have a retina display?

Is the iPad mini have a retina display, just as all other apple products? If it doesn't, please tell me what resolution it does have! Thank you!

The iPad Mini does not have a Retina display. Visit the Apple store for specifications.

Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue? Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad? I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to. It's so disappointing!!!!

I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine.

Considering the iPad. I have a few Q's :)
