The I-Pad is really limited. We get the Philadelphia Inquirer and New York Times everyday, and the information that is available more than enough. Specifically the local details to your neighborhood.

It might be a sacrilege, but I have been using the HDMI input on a 32" LG television for several years. It might not have the spec's of a monitor but it's easy on the eyes.
