Who else here uses an iPad to browse the forums?

I've been using mine on here for almost a year, and find it MUCH more comfortable than using a desktop or laptop PC. The only real problems are when someone doesn't embed a YouTube video, you have to cut and paste the video ID into the YouTube app (which means you have to leave the browser) and, of course, the typing is slower than with a regular keyboard. It is nice to be able to browse on here from a couch or sitting up in a bed (as I am right now)...

Tapatalk FTW. I have it on my Droid X so I have access to KLOV wherever I go. It's really easy to browse and they seem to periodically update with improvements.
 
I have an Ipad2 that I use for the forums all the time. If I have to type quite a bit I turn on my blue tooth keyboard that is built into the case.
 
I use my iPad for just about everything anymore, including this. Computers are a hassle. Things break, you have to wait for them to start.... iPads are also super nice for schematics and arcade manuals.
 
I use tapatalk on my iphone occasionally.. its nice but not good for general usage (smal screen). I'd buy an ipad but the lack of flash support annoys me.

I have been thinking about a droid type pad but I havent spent the time to research yet.
 
Just got an Ipad2 and luv it. I have tapatalk for it, but so far I prefer to read the forums here with the Safari browser. I can see where tapatalk would be better for posting pics.
 
I own an iPad and myself, of all people, would rather use my MacBook or my iMac. Don't get me wrong, I love my iPad. I have a PDF version of all my game manuals that I can pull up on the fly in iBooks.
 
I just use my phone,i work in the feild and its the only way I can post/read the forums at work (like right now) and works great. My son has been bugging me to get him one though.
 
Two of my favorite apps (for Arcade-related reasons):

iCab Mobile - Tabbed browsing (works excellently for the forums, long-tap on a link, open in background tab, continue surfing). Costs $2, and well worth it for the multitude of features. Also a "Plus" app, works on both iPhone and iPad for one price. I use this constantly when I'm surfing the KLOV forums.

GoodReader - Multiple format file viewer and file storage system. Upload files to the iPad via iTunes or the in-built web server. Pro tip: Zip a folder full of files before uploading, then extract on the iPad, it's much quicker. Views PDFs like a dream. I store all of my arcade and pinball manuals and reference guides in GoodReader. Unfortunately it's $5.00, but worth every penny IMHO.
