I'm greatly concern with the iPad and wonder if it allows me to do some school works I need. So if anyone of you guys able to help me on these questions, I would be very appreciated.

1. Would I be able to save ppt (powerpoint) and doc (word) files in an organized manner way?
2. Would I be able to use a stylus pen to write on a slide / page of those files and save them for later use? I prefer the way Lenovo Thinkpad 1838 allows us to do if you search for some videos on that.
3. If you convert a MP4 / MKV / RMVB video files into a compatible type to put in the iPad. Would it be heavier or lighter as relate to the original files.
4. How often do you use the camera on iPad 2?
5. How would you compare iPad 1 vs iPhone 4 speed? (I found ipad 1 is slightly slower than iPad 2)

Thank you for reading! If you can, please reply here or email me at triledoan@yahoo.com
 
I found the stylus I tried at an Apple store to be pretty unpleasant. It lagged behind what I was writing by maybe half a second, and handwritng suffered because of it. You have to write pretty slowly for it to come out as desired. Whether that was a pen or software problem or otherwise, I don't know, but I was told the stylus was the best one they had (can't remember it's name). Perhaps other people have had good experience?

As for back the camera, it's a pointless addition. I took one photo with it and haven't touched it again - quality is useless. Perhaps the FaceTime camera serves use to some though.

iPad 2 definitely feels faster than iPhone 4. This is mainly noticeable in app loading time, but I think Safari web pages load slightly faster, and everything is generally more responsive.
