    It is very stable tablet and has a great screen. The quality is great. The OS is old and less flexible than brand X tablets. You can find more business apps than other tablets. Profiles are easy to set up for exchange severs and Citrix client works well.

    I am happy with my i-pad. I wish that Best Buy offered more than just the intro class. I think that I could be doing a lot more with it. I'm really pleased with the quality of the photos and videos.

    The variety of apps is excellent - word processing; graphics programs; and specialized business and training apps (law, real estate, contracts etc.). An excellent overall tool !

    Great product. 4g LTE on verizon is unbelievably faster than my 2nd generation AT&T 3G is. Have been impressed with the ipad 1&2 and the 3 doesn't disappoint either. Everything just works the way it should. No headaches. It is my go to device for email, web surfing and games. Rarely use my laptop anymore.

    Better camera, faster Internet, so easy to use

    I absolutely loved my iPad 2 so I debated long and hard to upgrade. I had AT&T 3G on my old one and opted for verizon 4g this time around. What a huge difference in Internet speed! I used to have a hard time with the att service because in my area, I had a fairly low signal. I would have to go to a window or go outside when wifi was unavailable (which was very often, considering my job and college does not have wifi.. I know.. Unbelievable!) I can surf the web at anytime without lag and check my email and have it load every time. The camera is much better with this iPad and the microphone within the keyboard works great! No need to type, it is quite accurate! I am so glad I took the plunge because it is so much faster than the other (this can just be because in my area, Verizon rules and AT&T has a lot of spots where signal is very weak).

    I am a new Apple user. Bought the computer and after a 30 learning curve bought an iPad. Looking forward to an iPhone in the near future! I love how fast it is and esp how LONG the battery lasts. The display is just beautiful,too. I don't regret buying it and hope it satisfies for years to come.

    The Best

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had an ipad 2 since they came out. While that was a great device, the new iPad (iPad 3rd Gen) is the most complete tablet on the market. The screen is amazing, esp if you spend a lot of time reading on the device. The 3G LTE is FAST too. My Verizon service averages around 12 Mbps down. While it might seem like the most expensive option out there, if you're one of those people that hates farting around trying to figure out new electronics, or hate troubleshooting problems with different devices, get this one. It doesn't "just work", it always works.

    Great product, but not sure I can live with Apple

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The iPad is the standard for tablets, but I wish it wasn't so controlled by Apple. It's generally easy to use (hard to get used to not having a back button) and most of the apps are much better than the Android counterparts. Most of my complaints are related to iTunes. This was a gift for my wife, but I would probably buy one for me because of the apps available that aren't available fro my Android Fire. I like the size of the Fire from an ergonomics statndpoint, but the larger size of the iPad is much better to view magazines and web pages. I would rate as excellent if it didn't have the Apple baggage.

    Good to upgrade from 1st version

    This replaces my 1st gen iPad which I had a hard time finding a use for. Knowing the video was better on the 3rd gen iPad I went for more storage and Verizon. I use the new iPad a lot more than I did the 1st gen which I jailbroke and leave on the kitchen counter for itunres remote and cooking apps. The video is really clear and the speed is notable. Ipad is actually useful now.

    Love this iPad. Easy to use, with awesome graphic screen quality. Easy access to many programs and is really fun and easy to use. I am having difficulty opening files from my PC and have tried several programs with limited success to date.

    Best Tablet

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The IPAD is the original and best tablet on the market. IPAD 3 (new) enhances on its predecessors. Upgrade if you have the 1st gen. If you have a new 2nd gen, you might hang on to it for the next iteration unless you can't live without the Retna display, extra speed, 4G or if you just absolutely have to have the latest.
