The iPad is great for taking notes. It comes with its own notes application.
Also you can run compatible software with Office on there called Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
iMessage works with your email address.
you need internet to use iMessage.
The iPad only looks similar to an iPhone. It runs a similar OS called iOS, however it can't make calls like a phone can. It doesn't have a number.
Or a voice plan.
It is a great way to replace heavier, bulkier computers much of the time for web surfing, email, social networking, video and photo viewing, gaming, music, and content creation.
It won't however completely the place a need for a computer if you do more professional content creation in video and graphics.
