Marcia wants to know whether, when you flip the page in a book with your finger, it makes the sound of the page turning. (For some reason that is important to her.)

John, I have a question. I have a ton of movies in my iTunes library. Does the iPad come with a cable so that I can sync the iPad with my laptop?

Thanks, SJ. I'm real curious to hear initial feedback,too. The photo issue is a surprise. Can you load them from a USB directly from a camera?

I understand about the lack of a USB port. My iPhone doesn't have one either. I am hoping that it is like my iPhone in that there is a cable for the iPhone that connects it to a USB port on my laptop. That is how I sync photos, songs and movies from my laptop to my iPhone.

I've already ordered the iPad. (I went with the 3G model so I have to wait a bit to get it.) The tech specs on the Apple sight seem to indicate that there is a cable to connect the iPad to my laptop, like I do with my iPhone. I just wanted to make sure.

I received mine yesterday (32gig)Love it! Very user friendly just like the iphone. What comes in the box is your ipad, a usb cable and a wall charger adapter for the usb cable. I have loaded the NYT app, Netflix, ibook, and USA today so far plus my iphone apps. I love that games are 2X bigger! Graet for 52 YO eyes-LOL. So far my ratings is 2 thumbs up!

Anybody that bought one have any feedback? Anyone regret not waiting for, and getting, 3G? Would love to hear what anyone has to say!
