What else might I need to use the iPad?
While the iPad can be used without a computer for the majority of its features, you will need to connect to a computer running Apple’s iTunes 9.0 or later to initially set up the device. Computer specification requirements for iTunes 9.0 can be found on Apple’s Web site. If you plan on using the iPad at home for surfing the Web, and you do not have a 3G-capable model, you will need to make sure your home is set up for wireless Internet. A power adapter is included with all iPads, but users should consider investing in a charging dock if they wish to take advantage of the iPad as a photo frame. Users who anticipate using the iPad heavily as a word processor may want to consider buying Apple’s keyboard dock or a compatible Bluetooth wireless keyboard.
