Let's put it this way: I don't recall not being able to open a video
with my laptop. I haven't had the iPad a full two weeks yet and am
still exploring its possibilities. I've been having fun with "Maps"
since I discovered it linked Google maps to my address book. I also
loaded my 79-page trip album(two weeks' castle-hunting in Germany*) into
it and discovered I can enlarge fotos that include writing so I can read
them. That touch screen is great fun!

I've never tried to find something like that offline with the laptop.
