I am on my iPad most of the day when my little guy sleeps. Opening and waiting for my laptop to start wouldn't work and the iPad is so light and portable that I can take it from room to room with me. So....<br /> Yes, I have an ipad2.<br /> It was a birthday gift from hubs, but I think he spent about $600ish. It doesn't have 3G..<br /> Totally worth the cost and hubs says the same thing all the time.<br /> I use it mostly to surf the Internet, but also use an app (Baby Connect) to track the little guy's feeding and sleeping, FaceTime with family so they can see him and some games. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120947 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 09:08:04 +0000 Andrea 120947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: i'd like some ideas for apps and videos for our upcoming plane ride. what would you recommend me to download? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120900 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 08:40:15 +0000 Rubies 120900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Blackberry Playbook and got it for super cheap $150? $130? Hubs' boss' fiancee works for RIM and they were having some super employee discount something...Anyway, *I* only use it to play games or when we're in bed we'll watch TED or YouTube videos on it. My husband actually uses it to study (he has his CFA notes on it)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120889 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 08:30:20 +0000 mrsjyw 120889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got the iPad3 for $500. It's not a necessity, but DH and I both use it a lot over our laptops.</p> <p>My iPad routine is draw something, pinterest, twitter, facebook, then safari for Hellobee :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120823 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 07:38:38 +0000 volksgirl64 120823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Kindle Fire<br /> It was $140 - got it refurbished with 1-year warranty<br /> We've had it for a week now and I think it's really handy. I use it to read books (I read really fast so it's nice not to have to worry about where I'm going to get a new book), browse the internet, display recipes when cooking, let DD play Memory or drawing ap games and DH uses it primarily to play Angry Birds. I think it will be especially useful when traveling with DD, it has games and Netflix so we can get shows for her to watch. Plus, it's nice and slim and fits in my purse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120815 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 07:33:23 +0000 looch 120815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a first generation iPad, we use it to load apps and videos for our son, which we use on super long car and airplane rides.</p> <p>We paid over $800 for it, about 2 years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120770 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 07:09:19 +0000 heffalump 120770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a kindle fire. DH won it from my dentist for "liking" him on Facebook. I just go online, play on hellobee, facebook, pinterest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120754 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 06:47:55 +0000 chopsuey 120754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ipad2<br /> It was free!<br /> Camera sucks<br /> We barely use it. I used to play plants v. zombies daily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120752 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 06:47:16 +0000 hilsy85 120752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have one? Yup<br /> Which one? The new one, The Ipad 3 or 4 or whatever it is.<br /> How much was it? I think $740? or something like that<br /> Was it worth the cost? Ehhh I don't know if it was worth THAT much, but it's pretty cool and we like it so I guess it was!<br /> What's your favorite thing to do on it? My husband got it because now that we moved, he has a longer commute so it's something for him to use on the train. So his favorite thing to do is probably be able to check espn on it and watch all the videos wherever he is! We also like to watch movies on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120724 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 05:54:27 +0000 Andrea 120724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>iPad for $700 I think? It really isn't a necessity but it makes life convenient so I can have some kind of Internet device in every room (kinda sad)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120716 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 05:45:59 +0000 tequiero21 120716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Got the iPad. It was the top price for the one without the 4g. Can't remember how much. $800?</p> <p>Not sure that it's worth the cost of an actual computer but I use it a lot now that I'm at my parents place and they have a sucky computer and no cable tv. It is very handy and I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120704 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 04:59:26 +0000 prettylizy 120704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have an iPad. I think it was about $600. Totally worth every penny! I use it all the time, it really helps me stay connected even though LO runs my life now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ipadstablets#post-120697 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 03:32:10 +0000 mediagirl 120697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have one?<br /> Which one?<br /> How much was it?<br /> Was it worth the cost?<br /> What's your favorite thing to do on it? </p>
