Yeah no shite. I've taken some great videos from underwater of my dog diving into the pool. Great quality too.

Cost far more of your money without being as good as a cheaper product.

Great as a cutting board, too. That screen is impossible to hurt.

Serious response. I use mine for any and all internet browsing/media consumption. If you are doing anything that takes more processing power or maybe a real keyboard, I stick to my laptop. Basically, it's laptop for work, ipad for play. And don't take it in the shower or pool, please.

I don't use a ton of apps. Netflix, YouTube, Dropbox, all real basic. Mint is pretty cool I guess, kind of a budgeting tool, tracks your spending and gives you a bunch of different graphs that are pretty useful.

Couldn't tell you, I make a point to not watch music videos. Never really understood the point

Edit: though I know that some videos in general are not supported on the mobile app. I think it's a different format than for viewing it in the browser, or something like that. Try copying the link and viewing it through safari or chrome or whatever you use. If that doesn't work, maybe it's just the video.

The cloud isn't relevant if you don't have any other Apple products, but definitely register the device for the "find my phone" function. Won't do you much real good if it's stolen, but will at least help you find it if it's just lost.

Apps just depend on your interests or uses. There are apps for all the standard stuff like Twitter and Facebook.

Pandora or Spotify apps for music.

Imgur is great for pictures, better than photo bucket or anything else.

iHeartRadio is good if you listen to a lot of sports talk and shite.

As you go to sites you like, you'll see offers to download their iPad apps. Usually not necessary, unless they're sites that you use all the time.
