    Excellent product; very pleased with purchase

    I went back and forth between a 16GB wi-fi only and the 32GB wi-fi and 4g; very happy with my decision for more storage (32B) and cellular; the screen is captivating; I decided that I would not be happy without cellular connection especially with the way AT&T offers their plans now - one month; cancel and restart anytime; I also had to decide between spending several hundred dollars for an iPad or almost 1000 for a MacBook Air, almost like choosing between notebooks but realized that is not the choice. iPad is not a notebook; it is a different way of doing things, a way that I decided to go with; This is a typical Apple product that excels at what it is meant to be and do. Bought a Targus Slim Case and was the perfect accessory; much better than smart cover and only $10 more; feels sleek and powerful.

    Pretty vacant

    At the store, you see lots of kids playing Angry Birds on the iPad while their parents look at real devices. This pretty much sums up the iPad experience. Excellent form factor, great looks, amazing video... And lacking features that you need to be productive. The Decision to not support Flash shows the disdain Apple has for consumers. As much as people may hate it, it is still out there and if Flash won't run on a device, it limits the usefulness of the device. The need to open another app to email PDFs is annoying, the inability to maintain a cellular connection with LTE turned on (even when sitting next to an Android device that maintains its signal), and the lack of a file management system turn a device with a lot of potential into a dud. Wait for a Wndows tablet, or go with Android. The iPad is all show and no go.

    What a beast!!! The bar has been set again.

    I'd first like to say that I am no apple fanboy. I own a maxed out Alienware M18x with 2960XM and 580M SLI. When it comes to tablets no one offers the same level of quality, GPU power, apps, seriously smooth UI, design, retina display(2048x1536), 4G LTE, dictation, customer service and ecosystem that apple provides for the new iPad. I currently own a Black 64GB 4G LTE AT&T model for 4th gen resale purposes, but only needed the 32GB model. EVERYTHING works so well together. I've owned a GT 10.1, TF201, OG Transformer, A100, iPad, iPad 2, Sony Tablet S, Kindle Fire and a Xoom. Nothing comes close to the new iPad or even an iPad 2. If you are into games then you'll feel right at home with iTunes awesome selection of games and the new iPad's quad core GPU. For business productivity, Apple also has the best selection of apps. Some android users will say that iOS is locked down. I'd rather have a locked down fully functional OS, than a laggy, buggy OS. If you are in the market for the best tablet look no further. Get an iPad!! The video I linked, was not created by me, but does a good job demoing the new iPad's powerful quad-core GPU.

    Still the best

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

    At this time still the best overall tablet experience. I got the 4G ATT 32 GB and bypassed in store activation. That might have been a mistake as the SIM card in the unit was incompatible with 4G LTE (what the heck?) and had to go to an ATT store to activate. Does this happen to everyone who doesn't activate in store?

    It's an Apple. It's great, Though I wish it weighed a little less. Also wish 4g was in more places. When I am in an area with 4g it's exceptional. Picture is crystal clear. It is just plain FUN.

    I love my new iPad. I had the iPad 1 but the display began to digitize into green and pink fuzziness. Bummer. So, I got myself a new one. The display is so much crisper. I haven't had an issues, including the heat issue I've heard about.

    This is my first Apple product. Took on vacation to Colorado. I was able to work remote from almost everywhere via cellular data plan. The pix of the Rockies were spectacular. All the friends that traveled with us made a little fun of me using the iPad as my camera but all said and done they all wanted copies of my pix. I still have a lot to learn but great product so far.

    I sold my iPad 2 back to Best Buy and got the new iPad 3/16. I can say that I am still after 2 months using it as much as I did on day 1. I am using it more than my laptop which has surprised me. Apple has a made a product that is easy to use and hard to put down. Great product.

    Exactly what I wanted

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

    I bought this iPad to cover 2 needs. First is to read books in multiple formats and sizable fonts. Reading is great because I can download library books or buy books from multiple sources. The font is sizeable when my eyes get tired. Second is to check information quickly without having to make a major effort., like checking a player's stats while watching a game. I'm a person that cant let a question go unanswered if at all possible. Having the iPad at my finger tips is great. I got the AT&T version, even though I don't currently have a data plan. The aGPS helps locate your position on a map better than the WiFi only version. There are so many apps, like Audubon Guides, Star maps, sports, journals and games.

    My second IPad. Excellent--fast. The cloud is great. With a Zagg keyboard, it goes everywhere. But must remember itmis not a computer and there are times when a omputer is necessry. Notes syncs with IPhone. Should have same sync on MacBook.

    This is my 2nd iPad. I had the first one and this one is so much faster and the graphics are just great. I like some of the added features, camera, microphone, etc. I wish they would put in Adobe flash player though.

    Very convenient. Lacks features of other tablets

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

    I got the iPad 3 with 32 gb and AT&T 4G LTE. It is very convinient. I am able to go though my e-mails and calendar anywhere. I also use it to have ready access to my pdf's. However, it clearly lacks features available in other tablet computers. This is basically an oversized iPhone, not a real tablet computer. Nevertheless, I am glad that I bought it. It has been very handy for me to have with me throughout the day.

    This product is great. Do not allow Best Buy to set up your account because they may set it up to be a post paid account then you need to change the SIM card to make it a pre paid account. If you are dealing with AT&T prepare to be very frustrated dealing with them until the issue is fixed.

    A great product!! My only disappointment is that the store did not have a white w/ AT&T available at the time of our purchase & therefore had to settle for the black surround. Not a big thing, but when investing the $ into any product, you do want to end up with your number 1 preference & not have to settle for less.

    Not gonna Write Some Lengthly review here, just here to say that this Tablet is the benchmark by where all other are judged off of... I love Android .. no doubt .. but if you can afford an Ipad ..just get it... Otherwise get a Nexus 7 Tab from google...
