I recently won an iPad2. It was worth around $400 when I won it. I am now hesitant to put it in my daughter's hands. She is 17 and non-verbal with a mental age of 18 mos.

I'm thinking of buying an iPad. but I know almost nothing about it.

It is like a lite version of a notebook computer. It isn't a computing powerhouse, but it is helpful to have and use where portability is required.

The built-in cameras are a nice feature. Right now, I have a calculator and simple spreadsheet* apps and I am in the process of downloading some board game apps (like checkers) to play with my sons, like in a doctor's waiting room. I also have a remote desktop app (that I haven't set up, yet). Once it is set up, I would be able to access my home computer through the iPad whenever wi-fi is avalable.

*I use the spreadsheet for grocery shopping tallies and in score-keeping with regular, boxed games (like Scrabble).
