Hello,
I am living in Norway, but bought a iPad in Us in May. I have used
Ancestry.com and Footnote.com from my iPad. The new website for Familysearch
are using flash, so that might be a problem. 
Legacy have their own app, Families
http://news.legacyfamilytree.com/legacy_news/families---iphone-app/, but I
prefer GedView - http://www.ritter.demon.co.uk/Projects/gedview.html

It is also several other apps out where - databases with some marriage,
divorce and death-records for certain areas. Research app - keep trace with
what you need to check again etc.

My advice is:
- iPad
- A good screenprotector (they could put it on in the store for you)
- Wireless Bluetooth keyboard (Apple Wireless Keyboard)
- Incase has a very good case where you could turn it sideways and let it
stand. See www.bestbuy.com and Incase - Convertible Book Jacket for Apple®
iPad™ - Black Model: CL57512R | SKU: 1502231.
- apps like Page (or another texteditor, but I think this one is good),
GedView, a timetracker and Dropbox. And maybe you want a project manager.

Best regards,

Any thoughts on the IPAD and browsing from a genealogical point of view?
LImitations?  I know it doesn't have flash, does that shut out most
databases?

Need something very portable that can be quickly accessed (other than a
notebook) that will synch to a mac.
