I got 20mb limits on my iPhone, iPad has always been Wifi, but that sounds about right.

Not sure if i'm ready to pull the trigger yet, seriously considering the deeply discounted ipad 2's



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Still trying to convince myself the upgraded specs are worth the price.

Apple selling certified refurbed for $349 vs. $499 brand new.

Hm. Am I just being a cheapo? I don't forsee myself taking advantage of any video editing or photo editing to qualify a faster processor. It would basically be 95% Web browsing and 5% email.

You have to be somewhat amazed on how many Ipad 3s apple will see before people even see one or hold it.

sell?

Yea, I guarantee that if Apple sold something that they claim would possibly give 25% of owners testicle cancer, people would still line up around the block. Not even joking.

Then the current version would be best for you. It is only 16gb though.

Ever drive with your cell phone between your legs? I remember doing that with my first Motorola back in '95.

From all early hands-on impressions of the new device, it seems to have set the bar yet again for the tablet market. The display itself is quite remarkable...

So, you're getting quite the little machine. If you got the disposable income for it, why not.

Still, I will never own one...it's a religious thing.

Plus you couldn't afford it, as much as you pay for Sony products...

No need to pay for it. I can probably get it for free eventually.





But, again...it is a matter of religion. I took a vow of abstinence.

it does in fact hurt it. Amazon either dings you or doesn't accept personalized Apple products, just don't remember which they do.

Please talk me out of this mania. I have an iPad Gen 1 with 64 wifi only.

To drop $700, on the 3rd gen., what do I get and let me set some of my limitations.

1) I watch on old Sammy tube (well not tubes, but oldstyle) TV, and visually can't pick up much from the large screen LCD Sammy receiving HD. I don't know if I could pass the Pepsi challenge of a retina display versus 1st gen.

2) I have not a desire to connect straight to ATT or V for data. There are too many hotspots, and my Android will pick at 4G if needed.

3) Cameras... phone already does it.

Considering my iPad, gen 1, is the only thing Apple in my house, I can't see going to the third gen.

Please tell me where I'm wrong, because I've had the Apple screen up three times tonight fixing to click on a white 64 wifi.
