The very first time I turned it on it froze on me. My first thought was, maybe I'm just not supposed to have a tablet, I've tried the Motorola Xoom and Kobo Vox. So far I have had no luck with them. But I gave the iPad the benefit of the doubt and blamed myself "I hit the button too fast" you know, computers do it all the time. I find the iPad to be fantastic, I have Kobo, Kindle, iBooks any app I think I could ever need is on this tablet. Like the Xoom, I am able to load more than one email address into the email reader and that is fantastic, because I have so many of them. Now they are all in one place. I do like it though. It does have it's "this thing is a pain in the BEEP" moments... It freezes every so often, not a big deal as of yet, I can not write my reviews from it which is a huge downer for me, I have to share with my daughter....okay, that last one is not the fault if the tablet, nor is it an issue, it's nice to share something with her. She's a good kid and deserves to enjoy this wonderful tool. My 3 year old can play games on it, and sometimes if I am doing something, like trying to get dressed I will let my 1 year old doodle in one of the fantastic apps available. I can honestly say, I see what all the fuss is about. In so many ways I think, great product but the Xoom did that too, this is lighter than the Xoom, I think it's the lightest tablet on the market right now, if I'm not mistaken. I almost forgot to mention, "FaceTime" is my favorite feature. It will come in very handy when my husband is away so he can still see the children because at these ages they do grow really fast. I really like this feature, it's just another excellent way to keep in touch with each other, or family and friends who live far away. We have friends all around the world, now we need to get them all to buy one of these amazing little devices.
