Honestly the Wood whisperer app is disappointing. There is a contractor calculator app that has gotten great reviews that is a full function construction calculator, and cheaper than buying the actual calculator. If you need one of those, I personally don't, my brain takes care of that, or my scientific calculator if I'm having a bad day. Keith's idea is a great one, if your a hobbiest ya probably don't need it for that though. You could put rest your orbital sander on it, or use it as a paint platform... though that is a total waste

My vote is "Jailbreak" it, and then sell it on the popular auction site. Use the money to buy a tool you really want, and tell the GF your saving the monthly service charge. If she objects too much you can always get a new one (I'll leave that up to you to decide if I am talking about the I-pad or the GF )I'd love to have one of those I pad's but I am not going to pay for 3G service on top of my I-phone bill already .
