    The third generation iPad is a great buy for those looking for a quality tablet, yet who aren't willing to shell out the money for the 4th generation. The retina display is amazing and the processing speed is super quick. For the everyday user, this iPad is very capable of performing day to day activities. I use it mainly for email, browsing the web, and the numerous apps. You will not be disappointed with the app availability!

    I have wanted an iPad for a while. It is great to have if wifi is available. I would have liked to have the 3G but AT&T was a nightmare. Overall, I am very happy with my iPad.

    I love apple porducts specially Ipads. I had Ipad two and I got this for the rest of the family. I enjoy the retina dispaly alot. I still think that apple should put at least 10 megapixels in those ipads.

    Consider BB's insurance coverage

    This isn't our first iPad but it is one that is used mostly for school use by my 9 year old son. We decided to get Best Buy's insurance that covers the iPad for breakage and water damage. It's a good thing we did because 4 months after purchasing, the glass was shattered when it was accidentally dropped. It was very easy to set up the return and re-issue of a new iPad.

    I bought this product to keep track of emails, browse the net and read electronic books. It does all of this and more. The only reason I did not give it five stars all through is my inability to adjust the screen brightness which of course may be my own naivety. Otherwise, I am completely satisfied with the product. Most of all, I love the fact that I could program it to wake me at 4am to read my bible and it does this faithfully. I got the 64GB for my husband.

    This is the best tablet out there, hands down. The new screen is outstanding, the operating system is very easy to use. I love the white color too... You need more then 16 only if you want to carry a lot of media files with you. If you mostly going to do media online then 16 GB is plenty for your apps.

    The iPad is amazing!!! I hadn't bought the first two, but this time I got it on the very first day! The resolution is amazing, and the voice dictation is amazing. My only complaint is a short battery life. Everything else was amazing!

    I got this one after having the Ipad 1 for a yr. and thinking about the 2 but got this one as an open boxed item for 566 since someone turned it in without the box or paperwork.. Not a thing wrong with it at all. I went from wifi to wifi and LTE .. I have to say it's alot faster than Using my sprint phone...

    I'm so happy with the iPad. I tried a Samsung Galaxy tab and was so disappointed that I gave it to my husband and got an iPad. The screen is crystal clear, it has a long battery life, the videos are amazing. I can't say enough. Love the iPad!!

    I upgraded from an i pad 2 to the new i pad because of business. Really like all featured functions. The quality of camera is comparable much better than the i pad2, which very much helps visual effects. Additionally, it is much faster as well.
