So the wife and I bought iPad 3's today. It's my first tablet. I'm actually having my first Warpath experience on it right now.
So if you're an iPad user, anyone have any cool tricks or apps they want to share? Between my iPhone 4 and the iPad, I imagine I won't be spending too much time on my PC anymore.
My issues with Apple have been well-documented over the years, but to be honest, I JUST wanted the awesome display and awesome it is.
Work insisted we have one, and the first thing I love is Apple TV. My wife and I can sit and broadcast wirelessly to the TV so we can both browse together (helpful for booking vacations). I also use it as a giant remote control to change songs, etc.
Mirroring the iPad through Apple TV is pretty sweet

Well I currently use Roku. So I guess I need to ditch it for Apple TV? Tell me more about this mirroring thing? Also, it really want to get into reading books on this thing. Do you use the Kindle app?

Nice! I sold my iPad 1 and upgraded to the 3, the display is pretty amazing.
And yeah, the display is sick

I ditched the Roku for Apple TV. Here's what mirroring is all about
Apple - iPad - Stream movies and music wirelessly with AirPlay. (http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/airplay/)
I do most of my reading with the kindle app now.

Okay so forgive me if I sound like an idiot- but how do you buy books on Kindle? I have both the Kindle and Amazon apps, but neither seem to link to each other, and the Kindle app doesn't appear to have a "shop" feature. Neither are apps I ever really used on the iPhone.

You have to go directly to the Kindle store on Amazon.

Droid Bionic has a HDMI out that you can do the same thing. Pretty cool.
