I haven't had mine long so still a lot to learn. I really like it for taking notes which I discovered at the Houston quilt show and I didn't have any paper or pen with me but had my i-Pad since I had been taking pictures with it. The calendar is pretty cool and I sat one night and put a bunch of stuff on it but now can't figure out how to add more. LOL I haven't tried facetime but it works well for skype. I was hoping there would be several pages on this post so I could learn about a bunch of apps. I know there is a really cool app for designing quilts but my friend was showing me before I got mine.
