I recently bought an Ipad 64 gb Wifi. I didn't bother getting the 3G version because I am able to tether my Ipad wi-fi to my 3G phone. My 3G phone can act as a wi-fi hotspot which the Ipad can use to access the 3g connection; and with an unlimited plan on my 3G phone, I can surf 24/7 without worrying about usage.
Although I am PC user, all my portable devices are Apple products, from the old first gen Ipod, first gen Itouch, to first gen Ipad- which isn't really portable. I like my Ipad. Interfact is very similar to the Itouch. The screen is HUGE, it's faster, the audio is much crispier and louder, a bit heavy but all in all, it's a very solid product. A lot of people say it's a big version of Itouch. In a way, I would say yes but performace wise, it's way way different. There's that sense of speed and stability that goes with the Ipad. It just runs so smoothly. Even downloading apps is just a two-click process.
I have downloaded quite a few free and paid apps, mostly productivity apps. There's a new patch coming out soon for the Ipad OS so I'm holding off on getting all crazy with every apps the catches my eye.
Together with the Ipad, I purchased a wireless Apple keyboard. It pairs with your Ipad in a snap. I suggest getting a keyboard if you're typing intensive. The virtual keyboard on the Ipad is responsive but I wouldn't use it so much. Sometimes I am heavy handed with my typing, I'm afraid I might crack the glass.
I've noticed a lot of people giving Ipad low scores in Amazon review; and most of these low-scorers have never owned an Ipad. I own one and I am loving it. I'm going to buy the wife her own Ipad. -- Excellent first gen product
I made a mistake buying this overpriced toy thinking it might be easier to carry around than a laptop or books. But, it's a beautiful looking object.
As a laptop it doesn't work for me since I end up making too many typos when typing in addresses of my favorite sites.
As a book it works best at home. The Kindle and Nook work best in the sunlight. I've compared it to them with some friends that have Kindle and Nook.
It doesn't charge while downloading books.
It doesn't have a clock.
No multitasking.
Interface issues with numerous websites.
There is a monthly fee for broadband service to buy books. -- overhyped for the price - mistake to buy
This product has such great potential but yet again Apple has been too cheap to properly test it before release. I don't know what's causing it but the ipad goes crazy every now and again where the screen "thinks" you are resizing it and trying to copy and paste even though you aren't even touching it. It gets so stuck that I have to reset it and prey the problem does not come back...which it always does. I think Apple has become too smug in their sleek products and advertising that they have forgotten about actually testing these products before release.
The iphone 4 is another example of Apple's poor attention to detail. Try to get one fixed and you will find out about their PISS POOR customer service. -- Great idea, poor execution
After using the iPad for a few months I agree with the predominant points I see here, that this is a nice device, a pleasure to use, with some drawbacks (single threading and speed) and a Kindle competitor, but not a Kindle killer.
I would add that in my experience typing is a big concern. I like to type on mobile devices so one of my first concerns was whether I could use the virtual keyboard. I was pleasantly surprised that the keys, in landscape mode, are just in the right place and I can basically touch type. I did buy the dock with its real keyboard but don't use it. The screen keyboard is very effective for me.
Another pleasant surprise I got is that, while I agree that this is not the end-all for e-reading (vs. the Kindle and such), it is outstanding for video. With streaming services such as Netflix it can be a nice TV and movie viewer for a single viewer or even two people.
Finally the reason I gave it four stars rather than five is because I am a heavy user of my iTouch and the iPad doesn't add a whole lot to the experience. For me I measure the value of the iPad against the iTouch which I had been a big user of for over a year before I bought the iPad. The iPad does offer the touch typing that I can't nearly match on the iTouch. I can only thumb-type (at best) on the iTouch so the iPad offers a real writing experience against the clumsy iPod typing experience. But otherwise the iPad just doesn't get a lot of use for my set of apps because of size. I have the iPod with me all of the time and the iPad is larger so I only use it at home as a lightweight laptop substitute.
In summary I'd say Apple made a good, very appealing product. I would recommend it to an Apple fan or someone who wants an outstanding web browsing and video experience. A particular strength is the browser which has the legendary multi-touch interface in the iTouch plus the better screen real estate. I would say it is the best plain browsing experience I have had on any device. Kudos to Apple for wedging a product in that in-between category against laptops and netbooks. -- Apple does it again by defining and filling a niche with beauty.
