I used Speed Test to test my iPad’s network speed on Wi-Fi and got 12 Mbps. The Wi-Fi iPad suports Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n. The MacBook Pro, on Ethernet, got about 21 Mbps with Speedtest.net to a similar server in Denver — which is the best I ever get. My AirPort Extreme is set up for 802.11n (802.11b/g) compatibility.
42 minutes of an HD TV show uses up about 1.4 GB, so I wouldn’t want to keep an entire season of a TV show on the iPad. Instead, I have a few favorite movies and episode or two of some favorite TV shows, right now, just for experimentation and fun. I’m glad I got the 64 GB version so I’ll have plenty of room for growth.
My overall impression of the iPad is that it’s a great computer, and it’s only going to get better from there. It’s perfect for moving about the house, browsing, checking the IMDB when watching a movie, reading books, taking notes, and watching TV or a movie somewhere other than my office. The only downside I noticed was, when sitting outside on a sunny day, the screen is impossible to see outdoors. This is an indoor device.
