Apple Ipad

First of all, pretty cool little gadget here! I was able to demo the product and give a review which you will see soon. After playing around on it for quite some time, it was covered in finger prints and smudge marks and I wanted to return in to my friend nice and clean. I did some research on the proper way to clean it and was surprised by some of the results so I thought I would share.

How to Clean Your iPad
Apple recommends cleaning your iPad in one particular approach through the iPad User Guide (iPad Only Link) that can be found as a bookmark in Safari on your iPad.

They suggest to clean the iPad:

unplug all cables and disconnect the iPad from any accessories or docks
Turn off the iPad by holding the Sleep/Wake button and sliding the onscreen slider off
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth but be sure to not allow moisture in any openings in the iPad
DO NOT use window cleaners. These can damage the oleo phobic coating on the iPad screen and reduce the functionality of the iPad over time
Wipe the iPad in a circular motion and be sure that no sand, dirt, or dust is on the cloth used to whip the screen
The iPad Screen coating is designed to repel oil. That may be why finger prints show up so quickly on the screen. You can easily wipe them off with the lint-free cloth and have the iPad screen looking new and clean again.

I would recommend that you invest in some sort of Ipad case, this will prevent damage to the screen or the back of the unit as well. I do recommend that if you want something to play around with at the house to check email, etc. an Ipad is worth the few hundred bucks.
