Hi

I recently bought a Ipad 1 and I am looking for some accessories.

So far I have bought a flip case.

Anybody recommend any accessories? Or where to buy them?

I might get another case, screen protector, dock or keyboard + dock.

I think it depends how you're going to use it. Mine just get's used around the home and I don't have any accessories. The battery life is great, I just charge it at the wall when it needs it and don't have any use for a dock. I get on okay with the on screen keyboard and if I had any serious typing to do I'd use my laptop, so I wouldn't get a keyboard. I've never been bothered about a case/screen protector, I'm just careful about where I put it / what I put on it.

I've got the camera adaptor kit, I have a fairly decent SLR camera kit and when away I can use the kit to store my images on my iPad when I'm needing more space.
Cost me £20-£25 and you can plug in the camera via USB or the SD card with the second adaptor in the kit.

The iPad has some good photo editing software, I've produced some good images from it using Filterstorm, however it doesn't come close to good editing software on a PC.

I've got a case for it which doubles as a stand, I use this for watching tv when in the tub, or when I'm out and have time to kill.

Has anyone tried to use a 3g dongle on it rather than taking out a new contract??

They're wicked, use one at work. (as long as your dongle is supported)
