Advice needed: Running an ipad & iphone on the same apple ID

Hi All,

I have just ordered the new iPad as a family device and I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of using my existing apple ID on the iPad as well.

Using the same apple ID sounds like the best way to go at first (photostream, buying apps once for all devices etc), however there are little things that I am a bit wary of. For example:

1) The iPad will be for the whole family. So if Im texting my mates on the iPhone via iMessage will my texts also show up on the iPad?, i dont really want this to happen as my friends may use language that I wouldnt want my 8yr old daughter reading.

2) Facetime, if someone calls me via facetime how will it know whether to come through to the iPad or the iPhone?

3) When the iPad does an iCloud backup does that eat into my existing cloud storage space or will the iPad have its own allocated amount?

4) Will app notifications pop up on the iPad as well as the iPhone?

Aside from the above is there anything else I should consider that I havent thought of?

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have
