If you want a tablet, than the ones to go for are either the new iPad (iPad 3) or the iPad 2. Both are reliable and fast and have more apps than you will be able to use. The only thing that annoys me about the new iPad is the name "the new iPad." Will we be still calling this model "the new iPad" when the next model is released? Is the next model going to be "the Newer iPad"? The new iPad gets a little warmer than the iPad 2, but it hasn't bothered me enough to be a deal breaker.
Bottom line: I have always been a PC guy, and for me to recommend an Apple product means it has to be good. No joke.

Worth the extra $100 over iPad 2

The device is fantastic. I bought the 4G one to use at work since we don't have wifi there. My only complaint is that 16Gb is too small. Apps and pics take up so much more space. I have a 16Gb iPhone 3GS and have never filled it up. I've filled the iPad multiple times over. The screen quality blows my mind, even to this day. Outrageous!!!

I use it mostly as a reader for online newspapers and magazines.
I travel occasionally for work, and this allows me to leave the laptop at home. Answering a few emails or writing a short report is about all I would really want to handle with this keyboard though.
It is the most intuitive tablet I've ever used. Love it and can't see how I did without it.

The ultimate ebook reader
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this device when I was considering an Amazon Fire. I looked at this as something that does all the functionality of the Fire, with the added capability of apps. The extra functionality of the apps was worth it to me.
SInce purchasing it, I found a children's book that was offered for free on iTunes store as a sample (the full book, "The Beatles Yellow Submarine"). The graphics and animation in that book is amazing, mimicing one of those picture books with the sliding tabs. Touch clothing in the picture and the colors change. It even included a small game. Great for young kids and far better than just what can be done in an Kindle ebook.

Apple at its best

Love my new iPad. Shortly after buying it, I noticed a small amount of light leakage just to the right of the facing camera. Did a Google search' and found this occurred if there wasn't a good glue job between the glass screen and the base. I returned it for exchange at Best Buy, showed the associate the issue, and it was taked care of immediately. They even let me exchange my black pad, which was a gift, for a white one. Now it matches my new iPhone. Most important, my data sync and use of iCloud put me right back where I left off, with no data or app loss. And, no light leakage. Thank you, Steve, thank you Best Buy.

I love the new IPad! The retina display is unmatched throughout tech market. I also purchased a nice leather case to protect my investment. I would recommend this IPad to anyone looking for a light weight computer that virtually does everything that a desktop or notepad does.

Available purchase through Amway.com

I asked how to purchase Amway products through BestBuy. Customer Service had not heard that customers could purchase Apple iPads through Amway.com business affiliate through Best Buy but CS was very helpful as we went through the process together. Customer Service rep offered to plug my laptop into their electric outlet which I appreciated. I started the purchase before dinner. After dinner, at the end of the day, I went home happy with my iPad and Otterbox iPad protector. Thanks BestBuy! You are cool!

I was holding out - and holding ON to my ipad1 until this one came out. Now i don't know how i lived without facetime and the faster processor! I HAVE heard, however, that if you already own a 2, notsomuch worth the upgrade.

Wont make the investment: screen too fragile

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Very disappointed with the quality of a screen on a device so expensive. I've had the 1st generation for 3 years with no problem.. I get the third gen and it didn't last 1 month... In a case. Very-very disappointing. A very expensive lesson learned.
