Now that Apple has introduced their magical new device, the iPad, thousands of new iPad users are tinkering with this awesome new toy and figuring out what exactly it can do. It’s really awesome stuff! I can tell you that I am especially enamored with the iPad, because it has successfully created a technological solution for enjoying computing and digital content in my life where there previously wasn’t a need for one. It used to be that I had to watch movies on my television, YouTube videos on my laptop, or read magazines from some crusty old rack at some crusty old store – or, get this, I even had to get my news from free services available on-line! I know, it’s crazy! But now there’s the convenient to use iPad, and Apple can provide for all of my digital needs for a low, low fee.
And what’s more, I used to need a regular little old iPod Touch or iPhone to listen to music and enjoy the Apple App Store’s enormous selection of “Apps”. Talk about so 2009! Now I can use those same Apps on a screen that’s nearly 3 times bigger, which really helps me because I have such fat fingers! The iPad truly is a magical device, perfect for America.
And books! Let’s talk about eBooks! No longer do you need to get your eBooks from providers like Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Why read some boring black and white, dot-matrix-looking edition of an eBook when you can read it in color on your iPad? Sure, most books are just black ink on white paper, but that black ink on white paper really shines on the iPad! Also, finally my mommy can read all of my favorite Berenstain Bears books to me in glorious color!
Anyway, I’m just really excited that there’s now a $500, stripped-down, content-locked, simplified touch-screen netbook that doesn’t have some pesky keyboard to deal with! I mean, do you ever get crumbs from your chicken fingers in your netbook or laptop’s keyboard? Talk about a nuisance. The iPad eliminates that problem altogether.
Finally, in order to make my life even more simplified, Apple’s iPad requires me, through Apple’s approved channels, to access and pay for a great deal of entertainment, news, and other content services that I once enjoyed for free. That sure makes my life better. 
So, now that the iPad has been around a few days, let’s look at some awesome, but little known new tricks you can do with your new iPad:
