Not Useable Out of the Box

It is usable out of the box without any syncing, but I chose almost immediately to pair it with my laptop just to get all my apps and data on it.
Sadly, the IPAD is not usable out of the box. When powered on, it displays the "connect me to itunes" image. It MUST BE connected to itunes initially and registered. This is a problem for those of us who purchased it for our non-technical parents who have older macs running 10.4.or earlier. No worries though - there's a work-around: you can take the IPAD in to any apple store and they'll register it for you.
