With the Internet being so central to everyone's computing experience these days, it's more and more rare to get things like CDs with software on them or printed manuals. That's especially true with Apple products. When you open the box that the iPad comes in, one thing you won't find is a full manual (though there is some limited documentation). The links below will point you to the more complete manuals for the iPad.
