Glad I didn't wait  
I thought long and hard about waiting to look at the next generation of the iPad, and at the competitors that are coming out. However, I decided to go ahead and buy the iPad now, partially because I hate to wait for anything... What Ive learned so far about the next generation of the iPad is that it will have two cameras, a flat back, even better resolution, and it will be faster. Two Cameras: First of all, I can imagine using this large for a camera as a camera, especially since I have both a Nikon DSLR and a Nikon point-and-shoot. I will use the iPad for a lot of things, but have no need for it to be a camera. I do see the use of the camera with Skype or some other such service, but I have that capability on my desktop computer and don use it, so I don think I would use it on the iPad either. Speed: I don doubt that it will be faster, but the iPad I have is so fast, its hard for me to see the advantage in waiting for one thats a little bit faster. I also understand that much of the speed will be used to run a high-resolution screen which probably will negate any apparent gains in operating speed. Resolution: I also don doubt that it will have a high-resolution, but again, the resolution on the iPad I have is so high, I have doubts that I would be able to tell the difference. Slimmer Size: slimmer is better, but my iPad is quite slim as it is, so once again I didn think it was worth waiting for. Other Models: There a lot of models that have arrived already, and will be arriving in the near future. However, if the iPad versus other brands turns out like the the iPhone and iPod versus other brands, they won match the refinement, ease-of-use, and overall exceptional quality of the iPad. I have a Droid X and I like it a lot. It does everything I wanted it to do, and Im satisfied with it. However, the Droid X is a Dodge Viper, mean looking and loud, while the iPhone is a Mercedes, sleek, powerful and efficient. The iPad comes out with a new model about once a year. The second-generation model will have incremental improvements, but the third-generation coming out about a year will likely have major improvements. The model I have just might wind up on eBay if thats true. One further comment on waiting for the Next Great Thing, if you do, youll wait forever because theres always something bigger, faster, and better coming down the pike. : 2012-01-23 17:31:08

Excellent multipurpose device  
In this review, I compare the iPad to 5 other devices I own, use, and love: the Sony Reader, the Amazon Kindle 1 and 2, the iPod Touch, and a laptop. As you likely know, the iPad fills a niche that is between an ebook reader or similar device and a laptop or netbook. Although there are an enormous number of apps available for the iPad, it definitely does not have the full range of function of a laptop. For example, I use my laptop for programming using MS Visual Studio, web development with Dreamweaver, and graphic work with Photoshop and Illustrator. The iPad can be made to do a little bit of all of these functions, but for any large or complex work of that nature, a full-scale computer it the right device. With that said, I find a similar distinction between my smaller devices the ebook readers and the iPod touch and the iPad. I love my Kindles and will not give them up, however, the big advantage I find in the iPad over those readers is the larger size and the additional functionality. The Kindle is still my preferred device for reading ebooks that were created as ebooks, but I now use the iPad for reading pdf documents. If you have ever struggled with trying to load pdfs onto an ereader, I strongly suggest you try the iPad. For most pdfs, there is not even a need to use one of the many programs that help squeeze them down or trim their margins, etc. Most pdfs can easily be read at their native size on the iPad, and moving the document or zooming slightly can be accomplished much more easily and quickly on the iPad as compared to the ereaders. The screen on the iPad is, frankly, better than I expected for reading. After nearly 30 years of working with computers, I instanly loved the eink display as in the Kindle, Sony, etc. the first time I used it. It still provides a better visual image for reading than the iPad as long as you have adequate lighting. However, the iPad screen is as good or better than the best monitor I have used. It tends not to give much eye strain even after extended periods of reading. Of course, it is backlit, which is good and bad -- good because you can use it in most situations except for very bright light, e.g. direct sunlight. The bad it that when you are reading, you are also looking directly into an artificial light source, and, eventually, that will cause eye strain for just about everyone. The iPad also has many other functions that it performs very much better than ereaders. For example, it makes a very sericeable web browser, with the *big* exception that it cannot display flash videos or animations. It also does not support MS Silverlight an environment similar to Flash as of February, 2011, although one never knows what will happen in the future. Finally, I have found the iPod Touch and equivalently, the iPhone to be a very hand device that I can easily carry in my pocket that provides some ereading capability, some web browsing capability, and the ability to run numerous apps, albeit on quite a small screen. The iPad does all of these things, barring slipping into my pocket, and does them better. I still carry the iPod in my pocket for quick access to my contacts, my calendar, my task list, etc., but as soon as I am indoors, the iPod goes away in favor of the iPad. One last point with respect to the iPod Touch or iPhone vs. the iPad -- the former devices have a mirror-shiny finish on the back, which is beautiful when you take it out of the box, but it is absolutely impossible to keep it scratch-free without using some kind of protective cover. So, with those devices, no matter how careful you intend to be, your choices are to keep it in a cover or live with scratches. The iPad, on the other hand, has a matte finish on the metal back. I have no dooubt the it, too, will accumulate tiny scratches if left uncovered, by they are much less likely to be seen and to diminish the lovely design of the iPad. : 2012-01-23 17:30:49

People Who Actually Use iPads Tend to Like Them   
Ive had an iPad since the first day they were available. Its taken its place in the household as the preferred way to browse the web, watch bedtime videos with the kids, and play games. Just yesterday, my four year old son sat around the device with his friend playing Plants vs. Zombies HD and it was as easy, natural and comfortable as if they were playing tic tac toe instead of an elaborate tower defense game. It would not have been possible for two four year olds to share a game like that with the mechanics of mousing in the way on a desktop computer or on the cramped screen of an iPhone. [Update: iPad Camera Connection Kit: I received my iPad Camera Connection Kit recently and that works well, quickly and slickly. It comes as two parts: an SD reader module and a USB port module. The idea being that you can either take the SD card out of your camera or you can connect the camera directly depending on the module. Pop it together and photos and movies are imported into the Camera Roll, and are viewable if the iPad can handle the format, so JPEG images off the SD card from my Lumix can be displayed, as can RAW images imported over USB from my Nikon D-3000. All RAW formats are not viewable, but they should be transferable. I was not able to use a 3rd party SD reader with the USB port as it used too much power. The USB connector also allows a 3rd party audio device, so you can get digital optical stereo not surround out of your iPad instead of the normal dock connectors analog line out. Mass storage devices are apparently not supported.] In my opinion, the iPad delivers an unmatched content delivery capability. The browsing experience alone is worth the price of admission, but it does so many other activities so well and with such beauty and an organic interaction between user and content that just scratches the surface of what can be done. This is not a general purpose computer. I am not going to write much source code on it or transcode video or those other activities my laptop and desktop computers do so well. And while text entry is markedly better than on an iPhone, I would not look forward to writing anything longer than this review on its keyboard, although with each sentence of experience I achieve that gets less true. No, what this is is a viewing computer without peer. You have not browsed the web until you do it with the firm swipes of mobile Safari. I know people have fixated on the lack of Flash and Flash advertising, games and video. And maybe for some people that is a big loss. For me, the only loss is the occasional home improvement show on Hulu, and it seems likely there will be an app for that just as there are ones for Netflix, ABC, Youtube, etc, while sites like CBS put some, but not all, content into DRM free HTML 5 video. What you lose in Flash you more then make up for in the amazing speed of browsing and how natural it all seems. Having said this, the first time I asked my wife to try answering her e-mail on the device, the first message was to a Flash greeting card. The speed of the device is amazing for a low power portable device. Maybe its the Apple custom A4 processor, or maybe its the limitation of having so few processes, or the optimization of the OS for GPU acceleration, but the iPad is liquid fast at nearly everything. Video playback is fast. Photo browsing is fast. Mail is fast. The calendar is fast. Large games like Plants Versus Zombies HD launch in a fraction of the time they do on an iPhone. You get the idea. Third party developers have stepped up to the plate and delivered both beauty and added functionality. The Kindle app is smooth and imported all my Kindle account books quickly--its good that there will be competition in the iPad eBook market between Apples own iBooks store and Amazon Kindle. The Weather HD app is stunning as it embroiders the mundane delivery of a weather report. Wolfram Alpha is big and well laid out and more powerful than ever. As for the hardware, I am really liking this screen. It is bright, colorful and sharp with an amazing viewing angle. It does get a little smudged which is noticeable when watching movies but its oleo-phobic screen cleans with a quick wipe.. Its wide viewing angle is a great improvement on my MacBooks screen which would be unreadably dark at the angle Im typing this. Some people think the iPad is surprisingly heavy, while someone else was surprised how light it was the same person also expressed remorse at having bought a Nook after about 8 seconds of playing with my iPad. Be careful with charging this. It likely won work with your current iPhone car charger. My wifes car charger started to burn trying to handle the extra amperage this device demands. Best to only use this with either your computers USB ports or the charger it came with. And charging time is slow via a computer, from full empty it takes 7 minutes until reboot, and around 40 minutes per 10% charge so you are looking at ov : 2012-01-23 17:30:27

Fast, Gorgeous, but Heavy  
From the first announcement of this device, I was prepared to dislike the iPad, on paper it has way too many flaws. With one in hand and actually using the device, I can honestly say it is an excellent, gorgeous, piece of hardware. The biggest flaw, it weighs a ton. The weight doesn sound like a bad thing, but after I held this device in both hands while laying down, my arms got sore. Its a small thing, but you should be aware that it is heavy. Set up was super simple. Connect the unit to your computer, run iTunes, follow the wizard. About 5 minutes later the iPad is set up and activated. The wizard does call it an iPhone for some strange reason. If you have an iPhone already, the set up is a bit easier. It will inherit most of your settings. Once activated, you have to unplug the unit and then go through the settings application to set up your wireless network and a variety of other settings. All pretty obvious, top to bottom, essentially all the same as the iPhone. Do note that the charger is a 10W charger - much larger and different from the iPhones 5W charger. So youll have to use that charger. There is a big negative, youll have to cart around that charger, most USB ports will not charge this device. My beast of a PC has plently of power on all the USB ports, and it will not charge my iPad. External battery packs will work with no trouble charging, or extending the use. Battery life - I ran video, downloaded a ton of apps, and played with this thing for a solid 2 hours - 10% of the battery life was used. I would guess that reported battery life is right accurate. Typing is easier than on an iPhone, but still not keyboard easy. Theres a big problem with how to hold the device and type at the same time. I was a master at Blackberry typing with my thumbs. I can seem to get it with the iPad. The other problem, the device has a rounded back, so if you place it on a table and try to type, the thing rocks back and forth annoyingly. I don think I will spend a lot of time typing long emails on this device. Apps that are built for or converted to the iPad format are simply gorgeous. They are full of detail and easy to read. Old iPhone apps that have not been upgraded are all blocky and not so great useable but not great. You have the option to click the app back to native size if the jaggies bother you. Safari works really well on this device. The browser is a real live browser that displays WebPages beautifully. Bookmarks snap up in an instant. Pages load at almost lightning speed, actually faster than on my desktop computer quad core 3GHz, gigabit wired connection. There is almost no need to have multiple pages open, since load times are so fast and the favorites menu is so easy to access. There is just no comparison to the iPhones horrible display of WebPages. Email takes on a whole new look. Embedded pictures display beautifully. There is a pop up ribbon to select email from your inbox. Navigation is just a pleasure. Account switching is a little different from the iPhone, but still very intuitive. Apple seems to have figured out how to make the email experience more intuitive and remove the unnecessary from view. Video is stunning. Netflix over high speed WiFi my connection is 22Mbps delivers full screen, highly detailed, smooth video with good sound. Any video created for the iPhone plays, but they are significantly pixilated or blocky, basically youve blown up a video designed for a three inch screen to three times that size. Those videos are viewable, but I will be reconverting my source video to the larger size. Some of the free apps Ive tried. ABC is simple and stunning for watching video, but lacks a lot of programs. Craigslist adds the ability to view pictures in the preview of a listing, something not available on any other computer - very handy feature. USA Today has done an awful job, the interface is horribly confusing and pretty well useless. Weatherbug is incredible, simple and to the point, but with a ton of forecast information including webcams for different weatherbug stations. NASA is silly, an enlarged version of their iPhone app. Pandora works perfectly as expected. The iPod / music side plays like I expected. Nothing really new there. The oddity though, iPod / music is on the home base menu, but video is a separate application. Everyone would expect that Apple got the music player right. Ive had an iPhone 3G for almost two years and have disliked almost every minute of use. I got it for work email and it sort of delivers on that promise. The iPad is what the iPhone should have been all along - fast, simple to use, and a gorgeous screen. I also own a netbook. The iPad is a much better device. I love this device. Is it a revolution in computing? Only time will tell. For the moment, this is the best video, audio, email, web browsing device Ive ever seen. Go try it at a store. I think you will fall in love.

Hated it until I bought one  
Just to set the stage correctly - Im a multiple Microsoft MVP winner for the tablet PC platform. Ive been using tablets since their inception in the early 2000s and have used Windows since 1988. Ive been programming since 1981. My level of knowledge is way, way up there. And until last July, I never even considered a Mac product. Everything I needed to do was available on Windows, most of the critical apps of mine weren even available for the Mac OS. Last spring I purchased another car, and Ive long had MP3 players, but never an Ipod. This new car had direct plug access to the Ipods, and allowed all the metadata to display on the radio head unit, as well as full control via the steering wheel controls. So I got an Ipod, my first Apple device. For the heck of it I threw the little Apple sticker on my back window and watched everyone who knew me, employees and clients alike Im the director of an IT consulting firm, freak out when they saw the apple on my car. Then last July a friend of mine showed me his new Macbook pro, and what got me was the hardware, NOT the software. The touchpad was just magical, and after trying it, there was no other input method to compare, and all the windows machines had nothing that felt like this glass surfaced beauty. The backlit keyboard, the solid body My last two Lenovos had cracks in their shells just from grabbing one side and picking them up, the design of the hardware was just light years past anything ever done on a PC. And with the new ones running on the intel processor, and able to directly run windows, not just virtually, it made sense for me to get one. So I did. Then last November I replaced my 1 year old Media center PC with a new Dell Zino, and a month after that replaced THAT with a new Mac Mini. So in about 5 months, I went from a Mac hater to someone who had an ipod, a macbook pro, and a Mac Mini. So when the iPad was announced, people weren sure where Id fall. I was a longtime Mac hater, now a convert, but this first ever tablet device was hardly that, Microsoft has been doing tablets for a long time. And my initial take was very, very negative. Like most of the talking heads out there who didn like it, I was wondering what possible use something that wasn a real OS would be, something that can multitask, and, for my tablet background, why on earth theres no support for pens. For me, the best thing about tablets and slates has always been notetaking. I loved MS Journal, and Onenote. Not for *converting* the handwriting to text, but for persisting my notes IN handwriting. I liked it. Worked great. And the form factor on this device would have been outstanding for such activity. But no joy, we all know how Jobs hates pens. Don know why, he thinks its an outdated method of input or some such, yet he puts keyboards on everything, which, according to his type of thinking, should also by now be an outdated type of input... So I had no plans on getting one. I have been waiting for more info on the HP Slate, which would run Windows 7, have multitasking ability, all the things I was used to on a slate. But I kept thinking about the battery life. And the form factor. I use a kindle daily, and this would be a great replacement for it since, while I liked the concept, both versions of the device Ive had just still didn do it for me. My eyes don get strained from conventional monitors and displays so it didn benefit me at all to have the paper ink, but it WOULD benefit me to have a backlit device again for night time reading. And since the iBook app supposedly would allow me to open other books I already had Ive been doing ebooks for years and years before the kindle was ever announced, reading them on my windows PDA phones and comptuers, there was potential here. But I kept going to the single use, non comptuer OS, limitations. But I also start to twitch when theres a new toy available. So I started thinking about what I do with computers, both for work and at home, and realized that I didn *NEED* a full windows 7 slate device with multitasking and everything, since I did not want a second main computer. I keep EVERYTHING for both work and my entire personal life on my laptop, so getting the HP would then necessitate a lot of syncing of data between both the windows side of my macbook as well as the mac side. Something I don like dealing with. So I realized I didn want a full computer. I didn need the ipad to replace anything, or take over any existing functionality of my computers. I wanted it to take over my kindle, and maybe give me some fun drawing apps to play with my 6 year old in. So I decided to give it a try. So two days ago I ran to the local brick and mortar, figuring theyd be sold out, but at least I could play with a demo unit and see what it was like, get myself past my preconceptions and all the BS flying on the blogosphere. I picked one up, held it, and two store associates were playing with the one : 2012-01-23 17:29:41

Yes, You Will Want 3G  
I have 2 iPads. A 64 GB WiFi only model which I bought the day it was available, and this 32GB 3G model which I picked up last week. They are about the same price; if you have to choose between an extra 32GB of storage and 3G capacity, definitely go with the 3G if for nothing else future proofing. I consider this to be the sweet spot of the 6 iPad variants. Right now, my wife is in China with a WiFi only model. She is not a technical person, and can rarely find an open WiFi hotspot. So, she goes days between checking her e-mail. E-mail which might be critical to her business. If she had a 3G model, I could have purchased a modestly priced data plan from Chinese Unicom, modified a data SIM to a micro-SIM, and she would be getting her e-mail every minute, and doing some light web browsing. On the other hand, her iPad is loaded with media with over a dozen DVD quality films, all her music, and a large number of family photos. This does take advantage of the extra storage, but is a poor substitute for the whole Internet. 3G is not quite the great deal as it was yesterday, AT&T is eliminating unlimited data for new accounts. In the past, the deal was you could get unlimited data for $30/month with no contract. Now you can get a $25/month deal for 2GB, which is probably more than enough if you don watch video. Existing $30/month users might as well be on contract, because they will have to keep paying to get the original deal. There are also cheaper smaller plans. Right now Im on the unlimited plan, and it is great. I have been Skyping to my wife in China, using Google maps, browsing the web in the dentist office and at lunch. It is very slick. I tried the 250 MB/month plan and that was just too small for what I was doing. As for the rest of the iPad, it is great. I downloaded a free novel from the iBooks store and read it comfortably without any eyestrain or hurting my arm. Its my preferred device for browsing the web, although you do get to notice the lack of Flash. Its mostly ads though so thats fine, but occasionally there will be a graph or video which you just can see. Over time, I expect this will be less of a problem as Flash dies out, but it is mildly annoying now. The glass does get awfully greasy, but that is easily wiped away. Typing is surprisingly OK, I can type about as fast as I normally can if I concentrate. My kids like watching YouTube every night, and that is slicker than going to the website. So, I find I use the iPad several hours a day, which means I can get 2 or 3 days out of a full battery charging, which is a relief compared to being worried about keeping my iPhone charged. This is indeed a game changing device, and I think most anyone will find there are hours of the day whether it be on the couch, bed or passengers seat where it is nearly the ideal computing companion : 2012-01-23 17:29:14

Comparison Between Kindle and Apple iPad  
Want the long and the short of it without having to read a mega review? Here goes. I have an original Kindle and a DX and Ive had an iPad for one week. I love them all, but the iPad has won me over. Heres what Ive experienced so far: VERSATILITY - Apps, movies, music, pictures, effective internet connectivity, color display, extremely intuitive GUI all combine to make iPad the hands down winner in this category. DISPLAY - E Ink is much better for reading, especially in bright light. And, the matte screen on the Kindle doesn smudge as easily as the iPad screen. However, the iPad has a gorgeous color display and once you get accustomed to it, reading is not difficult. I especially like the backlit display at night when reading in bed ... I can read to my hearts content and not bother my sleeping wife. Slip on the headphones and my full iTunes library is available while I read. If you want a device only to read books, the Kindle wins. If you want color and a display that shows book diagrams and pictures clearly, the iPad wins. PAGE INTERFACE - I actually like turning pages on the Kindle much better than I do on the iPad. While the iPad has a cool page turning visual it looks like the page is actually turning, the touch screen is far too sensitive and there is very little edge around the screen to hold on to. The result is that Im constantly turning pages on the iPad when i don want to. Kindles buttons win this one hands down. CONVENIENCE - on the iPad, all my media is in one place audio books, photos, music, books, internet, breaking news/weather, address book, email ... the list goes on. The Kindle, while and excellent book reading device, still requires me to bring along an iPod or a laptop when I travel. iPad is the clear winner. PRICE - Kindle and the iPad simply aren that far apart. If a hundred bucks is going to break the budget, stick with the Kindle because it is an excellent reader. If you can afford a little more, go with the iPad... it just is much more versatile. If the Kindle DX were a couple of hundred bucks less, it would be a great reading bargain. AVAILABLE BOOKS - hands down, Amazon slaughters Apple in just sheer volume of available titles. However, Apples titles often include color pictures, diagrams, etc. that can actually be sized by the reader for easier viewing. Downside here is that Apples titles are often higher priced. Winner here is Amazon/Kindle. However, there is an App available for the iPad that allows you to read Amazon Kindle media. It is still not a very elegant design, but it does allow you to read these titles easily and Im sure the App will only improve with time. SEX APPEAL - ok, when the Kindle was first introduced, it was a hot item. I couldn read it at the airport without being interrupted at least a few times by people asking what it was and waning to look at it. Same thing with the iPad, only its exponentially hotter. With its sleek design, excellent color display and tons of Apps, people just go nuts asking questions. In short, it just generates a lot of interest and this is proven by the fact that Apple has already sold over a million of these things during the first month of availability. This thing is addictive ... with the Kindle, I can read a book. With the iPad, I can do almost everything I could before on my laptop AND I can read a book. MY OPINION ONLY - sorry Amazon. You have a great product that pioneered the whole ebook market others came before you, but you made it work. Your Kindle is an excellent product, but given the iPad, your device is very much overpriced. Your library continues to be the standard by which all others are judged and I will continue to buy e-books from you, but Ill be reading them on an iPad. On that rare occasion where Ill be laying on a beach reading in direct sunlight, Ill pull out my Kindle because you have an edge there. I hope whoever reads this finds it useful. I the end, its your money and your preference so my opinion really doesn matter. I hope you enjoy whichever device you settle on : 2012-01-23 17:28:51

Everyone wants things to be simpler  
The main difference between this item, and the wi-fi only version, is of course the sim card with 3G. So, before I talk about the iPad in general, Id like to explain my take on the 3G. 3G Performance: The BOTTOM LINE: Works good as long as you aren using it in a moving car. I ran an internet speed test on it and in the metro area it was 1.2Mbps down and 210kbps up, which is decent. The DETAILS: If you are doing basic computing, you will be able to be anywhere within a 3G service area to enjoy the internet. If 3g service sucks in your area, don buy an iPad 3g Here is the only problem: when you pass from tower to tower the signal can hang as the data has to be rerouted to the new tower. Lets put this another way. If you are using the iPad netflix app to stream Kim Possible season 3 videos to your iPad while driving at 60 MPH it will hang during the 22 minute show. In summary: The AT&T 3G works the same as my 3G expresscard from Verizon. 2G Performance: Yes, you can use your iPad on AT&Ts 2G EDGE network as needed. The data is slow. You won enjoy it. 3G setup: 3G setup is simple: - press settings button, choose cellular data, press set up cellular service. - put in your *iTunes* password. AT&T is invisible except for a logo. - put your credit card into the iPad - voila! you have service for 30 days Its very slick and takes less than a minute. Its how it should be. Avoiding the 3G data charges: If you are an iPhone user, and you have an iPad, you can avoid paying for 2 data plans by swapping sim cards. Of course, you might miss a few calls while your sim is in the iPad because the iPad doesn support phone calls. If you have an older iphone: Older iPhones use large SIM cards and the ipad uses small microSIM cards. You would have to cut your large sim card down to the microsim size, and put it in your iPad you will need a needle to pop it out. You would need to buy a little adapter sold on the internet to make your small sim fit back into your iPhone so, buy the adapter first! But this isn a great long term solution, because, if you want to use the iPad as a GPS in the car you will not be able to use your phone quickly or easily until you switch them back out again. Here it is on Amazon: Microsim Adapter for Ipad Iphone4g Convert Micro Sim to Regular Sim Adapter DO YOU WANT THE 3G INTERNET? Despite my little princess being vexed at Kim Possible hanging, the answer is yes. Certainly, its wonderful to have the 3G access. Everything about the iPad works better because its a bigger screen, and being able to access the internet almost anywhere is very, very useful for me. Now, the question begs to be asked: why the ipad at all? I have to say I originally joined the legion of pundits who said hey, its just a big ipod touch and it won replace my laptop. Certainly, this has to be the two most common things you hear people say about the ipad, right? And yes, that can be the truth you choose. iPad vs. Laptop: If your idea is to buy an iPad to replace your laptop, and get an external keyboard, and a docking station, and bla bla bla... then you will be disappointed. This is a different kind of device, and you can put a square peg in a round hole. The iPad is for even more mobile computing than a laptop can provide. ***A laptop needs a desk. But the iPad doesn .*** Thats the point, and if its not compelling for you, then consider carefully before buying an iPad. iPad vs. iPod Touch: To say its just a big iPod touch is not really fair. The processor is much more powerful, allowing you to do a LOT MORE. You also get a big screen. And the 3g with this version. So to refuse to upgrade from the ipod Touch is similar to refusing to upgrade from a Kia Rio on the grounds that all other cars do the same thing. But the biggest reason the iPad+3G will work for you, is that after a few weeks with it, you will want learn how to make it work for you. You will *enjoy* using it and it will be easier to use. You will say how can I change what I do so I can do it on the iPad not how can the iPad do exactly what I did before. For an example: here is a day with the iPad. I get up in the morning, and if Im not being lazy, I get on the treadmill. I prop the ipad up on the treadmill while I walk. I watch some news video on the iPad, read some email, play a game, catch up on facebook. Im usually not done with this after my walk, so I head downstairs. Its like carrying a magazine, its so easy. I bump into my daughter in the hall and show her a picture from her Grandmother, with the iPad securely held in only one hand. While Im eating breakfast, and shaving, and brushing my teeth, Im catching up on a book I was reading on my wifes Kindle: using the kindle ipad app. Then I can use the iPad when I leave the house, in a myriad of ways that I would not use my iPod Touch or Laptop. And the iPad fits in the pocket in my car door. Its really never in the way! So far I have u : 2012-01-23 17:27:42

A leap in the right direction  
Ive now spent the better part of a day playing with the new iPad, and while it excels in many things there are still some things anyone considering buying one should probably keep in mind. First the good sides: This thing is very fast, opening and closing applications is quick, the screen is incredibly responsive, there is no lag while typing, and the built in Safari browser does a great job of quickly loading even graphic intense pages. The not so good sides: As has been thoroughly pointed out, there is not presently much in the way of multitasking within the iPhone OS, but with most expectations pointing towards a summer release of OS 4.0 this might be remedied by mid summer, and almost certainly by a generation 2 release. That said, it should be kept in mind that on such a little screen being able to view multiple applications at once will likely never be something youll use, and the speed by which you can open and close applications makes this less a headache than you might think. It isn as fast as moving between open apps, but it isn a deal breaker by any means. The lack of a camera in this generation is a little surprising, while Ive purchased my iPad already, I honestly believe that with the number of competitors expected over the course of 2010 we e probably going to see a generation 2 by Christmas with a camera. Its still an amazing device, but the ability to video chat with it would definitely put it over the top, thats a feature worth waiting for. The lack of Flash support isn as irritating as I expected it to be, but still something to consider. Many major sites have evolved to html5, or are in the process of doing so. This allows for full viewing by the Safari browser, and where it exists, it works great. The remaining sites still using Flash show up with annoying little boxes looking for a plugin that is likely never going to exist. If you spend a lot of time on flash heavy sites it really probably is worth considering holding out to see how the Slate/Android Tablets look in a few months, but if you e mostly just e-mailing and checking facebook no Farmville the lack of Flash support probably won bother you too much. As a laptop replacement: The inclusion of the iWorks utilities gives this device a little bit of a laptop personality. Don let that persuade you into believing that you don need a computer though. You might be able to get away with ditching a laptop if all you really do is e-mail or very light word processing, but if you do anything more than that youll like the freedom and ease a full computer offers for more complex tasks. That said, this device is a tremendous leap towards a future tablet style device that may very well be a replacement for your computer, but for now it is more of a casual use device than something you can really expect to do substantial work with. I have put together a presentation in keynote, which was easy enough to do, but pages isn as intuitive as Id have liked, and taking lengthy notes or writing long letters/e-mails/reports will probably make it worth considering buying either the keyboard dock or the wireless bluetooth keyboard. Battery life seems to live up to the claims, I managed to get about 7 hours before getting the 20% remaining battery life indication, which puts it about right for 10 hours or so of total use. One very important thing to realize about charging the device is that presently at launch there is some issues with charging via USB from many computers. The iPad is different than other iPod products, it requires a bit more power to charge up, and unfortunately most USB ports aren set up to support that higher power draw. This is something that may be fixed in a firmware update to allow for a slower charge, or it may simply be that youll need to either rely on a new Mac seems like they can handle the power issue or rely on the wall charger. Just don be surprised if you plug it into your computer and it doesn show that it is charging. All in all, the iPad is an impressive device that might make for a reasonable replacement of a netbook for casual users. For people who need something to really do a lot of work on, you may find that for the price that a netbook or laptop still offers the better value for your needs. Future generations of this device will probably transition into fitting that market better than this first generation. However, if you e an avid reader, casual gamer, music fan, who doesn do much more on the web than check a few sites, and e-mail. This thing is definitely worth considering! If you e on the fence, nothing about this product is so incredible as to justify running out and buying one right now, but it is worthy of your consideration if you e thinking you might like a tablet style device. I definitely would encourage you to go play with one at best buy or an apple store to get a feel for it. With a number of competitors due out over the next few months we e likely to see some : 2012-01-23 17:26:51

I love it you may not...  
The iPad aka Giant Ipod Touch was known the be the iPhones prototype prior to the iPhones release. I dont feel like searching this truth so believe it or not.

I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and have been using my iPad since i purchased it 3 months ago. I am 2 months into deployment and all the while I was flying to arrive here I have been using it on a daily basis. Continue 8 hour movie watching music listening and game playing. While there are modification options (ie. Jailbreaking) it will do the simple and basic tasks of execution but ONLY to your liking and with the dependency of other software to achieve such goals.

I was unable and still am unable to update my OS to 4.X because of internet related issues overseas. However with what I have now I can only say I am satisfied. My screen has been scratched with the dust development in Shindand; I have used it in 105 DEG. F. while here and no issues! This is an outstanding piece of hardware to own se : 2010-09-18 16:23:06

The Future of Mobile Computers  
I won a 64G 3G iPad from Rush Limbaugh several weeks ago and since receiving it I have been absolutely satisfied with handy devise. I now have a reason to put digital copies of movies on an Apple product surfing the internet while mobile much easier its easier to carry around than a laptop... The list goes on and on.
My only complaints so far has been the need for Leopard software on your Mac computers. I only have Tiger so I am forced to use my PCs iTunes. The other is the price. This thing is friggin expensive! Yes I got mine for free but I wouldnt have paid basically 900 dollars for this tablet.
All in all this things is awesome! I would advise waiting a year or two when they become more common place and cheaper. anyway I give it a 5 out of 5! : 2010-09-18 16:23:06

Good but ...  
Im liking my iPad a lot more than I thought I would. Reading on it is a pleasure especially on a crowded train. The New York Times free app has enough stories to get me to and from work and the ebook reader is quite easy to use. There are a ton of free books out there mostly books in the public domain but thats fine with me since I like to read old literature. The music and game apps are numerous and very good. The web is extremely fast and the pad "just works".

On the downside the iPad doesnt come with a clock or alarm clock utility. You can buy apps written for this purpose but since theres no multitasking you cant depend on them to work. For example if you have a meeting scheduled and your alarm clock app set the meeting notice will pop up and prevent the alarm on the clock from ever going off.

Magazines look awesome on the iPad particularly Wired and Time. The downside is that you cant buy a subscription and have to pay a very inflated price. Hopefully thi : 2010-09-18 16:23:05

Apple Ipad  
I was introduced to the Apple Ipad by my sister.

I fell in love with it. I havent turn my desktop computer on for at least three weeks because everything that I used it for I can do on my Ipad. If your havent purchased one yet what are you waiting for? You will truly enjoy this. Oh and by the way it is very easy to setup and use. : 2010-09-18 16:23:05
