Apple® - iPad® with Wi-Fi - 16GB - 3rd Generation - Black

Yes, I am a big apple fan boy and I almost buy anything shiny and made by apple. Apple zombie, YES I am and why not? They make great products, you don't have to be a complete GEEK to operate one and let's face it, their AWESOME. If you already have an iPad 2 like I did then, you will be kind of disappointed with the new iPad only because it looks the same. A little heavier and warmer when in use. The Retina display cannot be appreciated right away if you already own an iPad 2 but once you have these new ones on your hands daily, you will realize that it really is a stunning display. I was skeptical to upgrade at first but after visiting an apple and best buy store quite a few times to play with the new iPad, I have to say. I was sold. I'm not telling you to upgrade and sell your iPad 2. It really is just a matter of preference and if you're okay to spend an extra $100-150 like I did then hey, go for it. This thing is fast, beautiful, the newer apps available for the new iPad are just stunning (AGAIN I USED THIS WORD) better camera (BUT DON'T BE THE GUY THAT ARE ACTUALLY OUT IN PUBLIC TAKING PICS WITH YOUR IPAD, COZ THAT'S JUST WEIRD) I use it for almost anything (email, facebook, games and entertainment) I have forgotten that I own a macbook. If you don't own a tablet and thinking of getting one, get the new iPad. If you're happy with your iPad 2 then keep it because I'm pretty sure next year's version would be a lot better. If you have the original 1st version iPad then buy the new iPad, most electronic stores like Best buy will give you money for your old device.

I use this way more then I thought I would, mostly for streaming shows to my TV while I am on the treadmill, but also to shop in bed :) or read articles of interest. I have a nice app called Relaxing Melodies that I use as a sound machine/alarm clock. I don't use it for email, music, or photos, as I have an imac, an imac pro laptop for my business, an ipod touch, and an ipod shuffle. I think it would be too small for me to edit photos on, I like my big screen for that. Let's face it, it is kind of a toy, not necessary, really, but I still LOVE it. I have friends who have returned their tablets made by other companies and bought and ipad with no regrets. (After seeing the difference)

Yes, I know and use the SD cable that let's you import pictures, but I need to upload files from the PC to the Ipad and do not want to compromise security by using the internet. What is it with Apple and 'Thou Shall Not have a USB or SD card slot!' And now, we have an even newer IPad... OK, enough griping.The display is excellent but 16 gigs gigs filled up very fast so I recommend a larger Ipad if you can swing it. I hear that there may be a Microsoft Word App released and that would be great. For now, Pages is the App to use. It's not Word by a Long Shot and Pages will not allow RTF files so keep the DocX format. I thought about the Microsoft Surface and it looks good but needs to mature. Ipad will still be King for awhile. Hope this helps.

I use it all the time. It is on the counter so I can go by and grab it to add songs to my I-pod, look up information, shop online, pay my bills and check my e-mails! I am even hooked on spider solitaire. I am very busy and impatient, but my I-pad is so easy to use! Now all I need is the iPad mini for my purse. I recommend for everyone who wants a tablet to have an iPad!

I was hesitant to buy the iPad because I'm definitely a PC, Windows system, user. Now I wonder why I waited so long - it's very easy to use, much faster than my netbook, and I find that I use it more often because I don't have to go to my desk computer. I'm making the adjustment to the differences in usage (no mouse or keyboard) but there are so many great features that it's worth the effort.

I love the iPad 3 that we bought, the only thing that I wish I could change is (of course) the price. But we waited until the iPad 4 came out and picked this up for $50 cheaper. Screen looks phenomenal and is very responsive. We bought a case for it and we can set it on our lap in multiple positions. If you are holding it, it can eventually get a little bit heavy.

This is my second Ipad. This computer has many great features and can be customized with a huge number of Apps. I like the cameras and the initial photo program. I use mine primarily as a reader, but it is nice to click over and check my bank balance and check my Ebay sales. It is a really good package and I look forward to using it for a long time.

I use this for all my buisness and personal needs. It's super easy to use and so much lighter and uses battery more efficiently than a laptop. I can video talk, text,email, research, use most websites, read books, articles, newspaper and blog. Social networking is simple, love the apps, just a great device well worth the price!
