I was given an Ipad for my birthday just recently and I just LOVE IT. I still of course us my main computer but for me it is is portablility that I like. I take it to work and it gives me something to "play" with in my lunch break. If I am trying to choose fabric I just photograph what I want to match and take it along with me and it is there right in front of me. I do not have to use my camera (which has a much smaller screen) and the colours are true to life.
