OK - I have finally capitulated and joined the iPaderatti. I expect this will be the first of many questions :)
Not even switched it on yet ... but, once I have got it going, a priority job will obviously be to transfer a lot of my photos onto it - many, many gigglebytes.
What's the easiest/fastest/simplest way. I see that you can buy sd/usb/lightning adaptors, but they seem to have very mixed reviews and it appears that they will only work with certain file names and folder structures. Is there another, better way to load up my photos (already on my windows laptop).
dave...this doesn't answer your question BUT, when i send photographs from my iPad, the recipient receives them upside down and that is fro whatever the position of the iPad when i take them.
Check out Google Drive, why take up all the memory on your ipad. Load the pics up from your laptop to Google Drive then access Google Drive from the laptop when you need to look at them.
If the pictures are on your android phone then there is a cool little app I found about a couple of days ago, it's called Bump, you literally bump the two devices together and it transfers files over.
