iPad is the coolest device from Apple even when compared to iPhone.

I definitely agree that the iPad is the best device for video watching. I pretty much bought mine just for that fact since I’m always away on business for my job at DISH. I haven’t tried any of these apps you mentioned either, so I’m really looking forward to checking them out. My favorite video app to use on my iPad is DISH Remote Access. I use it mainly to kill some time in airports and such, since it lets me watch all of my favorite shows from home, live or recorded, anywhere I go in the world. I did have to get a Sling Adapter to do so, but it was totally worth it to watch live TV on the go! 🙂
