My wife "allowed" me to get an ipad allthough (I have to admit) it was unnecessary to get one (I mean I have a laptop, dedicated e-readers....). So she was not really sold on the ipad. It was more like "let the man have his toys"
After she found out that I installed solitaire, she asked (the first time) if she could give it a try.
Since then, she's just taking it (if I'm not at home) or she's requesting to get it (if I'm at home).
Only drawback for me is that the battery is mostly down to about 20-30% once she used it.
Otherwise I'm really glad she (and my daughter, too) likes my new toy. This gives me some more backup for having bought the ipad.
