Good sources of iPad info?
I just ordered an iPad, but haven't used Apple products since my good 'ole Mac Plus! And when I do Google searches, information often seems to be a mix of iPhone and even iPod info.

So what are some of the best web sites/blogs/forums for someone that just wants to follow iPad info about usage, news, accessories, applications, iPad software development, etc?

Thanks!

Appshopper is a great way to keep aware of sales and freebies. I hate when I miss when an app goes on sale or has a free weekend.

Me too. Their iPad app keeps me informed on any major iPad/iPhone stories as well as apps... right on the iPad.

For more detailed questions or discussions iPadforums, the Aple iPad support forums and here work just fine for me.

If you want to keep up with the plethora of bags and cases coming out for the iPad:

http://ipadbags.com/ is a nice site. Not much in the way of reviews, but it is good for keeping up with new accessories.

Most iPad forums I've found are rife with vendors pushing one audio or video convertor or another. It's disappointing and frustrating and proves just how unique a forum MobileRead is. I've yet to find a "community" of like-minded iPad users that isn't full of someone trying to sell me the lastest, greatest iPad conversion app. Sigh.

I have no idea of what forums you are talking about but the largest http://www.ipadforums.net is not like that at all.....
