I pre-ordered my new iPad and got it on Friday, 3/16/12. It is my first iPad. I do own an iPhone 4S, and I did briefly purchase an iPad2 back toward the end of January. However, I took it back because I expected that the display would equal to that of my iPhone4, but it was not. I heard there would be a new one coming out in the spring, so I returned my iPad2 within one week of purchasing it. I only played with it a day or two, and so glad I did return it. The new iPad was more than well worth the wait! :)Words simply cannot describe just how intense the screen resolution is, and how vibrant the colors are. Simply SPECTACULAR!! Stunning! The speed is excellent, the photos are crisp and clear, and if someone has a small piece of fuzz on their hair, for example, it will clearly be seen in their photo, as was such with one photo that I took! :)I own a white 16GB Wi-Fi only version.There are a few issues that I have experienced, however, and also read on the Apple Support Forum that others are also experiencing. I also took my new iPad to my local Apple Store yesterday to ask some questions.First, the new iPads heat up. This is due to the new and larger battery. I was told at the Apple Store that this is nothing to be concerned about. Some, although not myself, claim that their new iPads are actually too hot to touch. I have not experienced that. Mine does get extremely warm, but, nowhere near too hot too tiuch. So, you may want to beware of that, and purchase a Smart Cover to fold and hold your iPad with. (It's a good idea to have one to protect your screen, also! :))I have also experienced issues with iTunes, and read others have, too. ITunes simply "kicked me out" when I tried to look at movie information, not even trying to download a movie. It kicked me out and returned to the home screen. It did this several times. Tried the re-boot, but still kicked me out. Others have reported problems with downloading content from iTunes, as well. I don't know why this is happening. I heard that one possibility could be that with so many new iPad users, all trying to sync and download, that it is causing these issues. Or, it could be a glitch that will need to be corrected by Apple. Just don't know. I'm not worried about it though, because I feel confident that it will be resolved in one way or another.The battery seems to drain pretty quickly. Especially for me because I crank my screen up to maximum brightness. :) And, so far, my new iPad takes an INCREDIBLY long time to charge. I was told at the Apple Store to be sure to let the battery run all the way down before charging, and that after a few times doing that, this will improve. Time will tell! I've read others also are experiencing this issue. I bought a 6 foot charger at the Apple Store yesterday so that I can plug in and charge, and still use while charging it. I found out that it is completely safe to use the new iPad (or any iProduct) while charging, so, that is very helpful to me.I am in love with my new iPad, and am VERY, VERY happy with it. I recommend to all. :) It is truly incredible, and better than I ever imagined it would be. :)

I rarely write reviews but Worldwide Distributors tried to rip me off so I thought I would write one.I ordered a WHITE IPAD MINI with Retina DisplayThey sent me a BLACK IPAD MINI (first gen).There are many sellers - choose wisely.This has never happened to me before in my many years of buying from Amazon.Now I have to drive to the mall and go to an Apple Store.This item was fulfilled at an Amazone warehouse so thanks to both of you guys.

This is my second purchase of this particular product from this Amazon Marketplace seller. I bought this as a gift & the recipient is just as happy with her gift as I am with the one I purchased for myself. After checking out several sellers, this seller had the best price each time. The purchase arrived on time & in good condition. I would not hesitate to use them again as needed.

I use I phone. I liked it. the GUI and the build quality. I thought I give it a try with Ipad.I tried android tabs for comparsionThese are my findings. This is keeping performance/ eccosystem support etc appart.- It looks like a huge phone. The static icon based UI which is same as iphone's looks toyish. The GUI is not suitable for a serious device for this size. It industrial design the GUI has the toyish look and feel. Apple products excpet iphone and mackbook pro has this problem of toyish look.- The aspect ratio of the screen. lack of 16:9 robes the entertainment of movie watching or consuming media. This is a big draw back. netflix movies look way better in Toshiba or any other android tab. With the added resolution this is more of a high resolution e-reader. in which it excels. or for viewing still photos. Motion picutre doesnt have the movie feeling but feel like viewing an ameture clipping. You wont enjoy the movie as much on an android device.- For vedeo content this DPi is redudant. Movies / videos doesnt require that pixel density. This is very much suitable as a photo frame. book reader. orgraphs . prductivity tool for ptohgrpahers etc. not good for video. The frame rates for the movies/videos seems to be diffrernt it feels again like amaterurish or a video clip feeling to it. Movies are not rendered in standards movie frame rate. It looks busy like a home video. The screen also looks unnaturally bright more of a clinical appearance.- The Screen colour gamut is not neutral. Its too busy or reddish. Transormer pad/ Toshiba has neutral/natural color for movies and regular websites. At first it may look vibrant and striking. But in long use it's too artificial boosting of colors or contrast and brighneess.- The GUI lacks the dynamic feel which adds feel to the overall veiwing media consumption experience. This GUI is at best good for a phone size device.- The build quality. Material quality is superior. The performance / the touch interface is superior as usual.- Overall design the OS/GUI are not built towards media or video experience rather for static content viewing of for games. If you are not watching movies or other media but mostly use this for still , photo sharing, e-bbok reading, games etc then this is a good fit. For anyting dynamic content this doesnt just have the feel.

Ignorance is bliss. I work at BestBuy and people always ask me "APPLE or ANDROID." Of course it depends on the user and most people who come in the store weren't technologically savvy. So, the majority of people wanted something easy to pick up and learn. Therefore, the majority of my recomendations were the iPad. I am in college and I have an internship. Both of these roles I use the iPad in. I am even using my iPad right now. I have a Macintosh computer and I found myself using my iPad for the majority of my computing needs. The iPad has also paid itself off by the cost of Text Books alone. Every book I get on my iPad saves me on average about $100. E text books are much cheaper than buying books on campus. I also have a keyboard case which they sell on Amazon for less $50.00. I use an app called Pages, which is an Apple developed app, that allows me to edit, import and export Word Documents. Not to mention its movie and music capabilities. I also invest heavily and the iPad has made my life so much easier when it comes to managing my investments and banking. Overall, the iPad has been a life saver for me and my family. Also, another great product that is a must have is a Zagg Invisible shield. They are a little difficult to put on but they have instructional videos on how to do it. Thanks for reading.

If you're not a technical person or want something that just works and is simple enough to set up, the iPad 3 is the way to go. iOS is set up with a very simple interface for people who just wants to get the job done and nothing else. I received the iPad 3 16GB (wifi only) model as a gift two months ago and it has been working flawlessly and I love it. I love Android devices too, however, I had a bad experience with the one I bought and I regretted not spending the extra $100 on the iPad earlier.Pros:I have had zero problems with the iPad. The display is very bright (but I usually keep it at a low setting). The whole device is built to feel very durable and responsive. My previous tablet, every time I tapped the screen, I felt like I had to be extra careful because it always felt like it was so delicate and would shatter. The battery life lasts for three days for me on average, even with a decent amount of game playing. It's easy to set up. Has a lot of accessories you could find for it with no problems everywhere.. even in a street stand in NYC. I also haven't had the problem where it heats up easily even with games.It is fast and the experience of using it is very smooth. It shuts off quickly, turns on quickly, loads apps quickly. I love the multi-touch gestures. I can switch between apps with no lags and no freezes.Cons:16GB should be sufficient, but sometimes I feel like these apps are huge and will deem this 16GB model as "not standard" anymore. In fact, three games I downloaded raged at the 500-550MB size. And since the storage isn't exactly 16GB, it leaves me with even less space. You could always use cloud storage for other files like photos and music, but you'd always have to have internet to access those files so try to leave the least used stuff in cloud storage.I'll also have to admit that the iPad does take a long time to charge. I think it took about 4 hours to charge, two days ago. Another con is that it's a bit heavy and a bit thicker. It's not very noticeable compared to the iPad 2, but for general use and holding it up to read, it does get tiring, so this might not be the device mainly for extensive reading with one hand.There's also no SD slot where you can expand memory, but then again, I realized many other tablet manufacturers stopped doing that also. I don't mind anyway as I feel like the SD slot would just ruin the design of the iPad. Now I just feel like I should have gotten the 32GB one!

I had a 64GB, WiFi only iPad2 previously and LOVED it. I purchased this one for the 4G option. I am experiencing the following:- The screen flickers when I am using my notes app- The screen "hangs up" when I swipe from one app to another- Sometimes the screen freezes altogether and I have to power off & on the get it moving again.If there is a way to fix these issues I would be grateful.As it stands, I am not happy with this purchase.

The new iPad is certainly a step ahead of any of it's competitors right now. I have owned one since June and have used it almost every single day since I have gotten it. If you take anything from this review it is that you should invest in protecting your iPad. I use the Zagg Invisible Shield HD and the STM Grip Case (i have reviewed both).Pros:-Portability allows you to always take it with you-Ridiculously Long Battery Life. Apple boasts a 10 hour battery life and with brightness adjustment it could certainly last longer.-Retina Display (HD videos and apps are stunning)-Front and back Camera great for Skyping/Photos-Smart cover saves the sleep button from overuse/malfunction-Speak to type feature is there but more of a novelty feature-Great for notetaking/school-New Apps released often including free apps-Many many shortcuts make it stand out such as a quick mute feature-Notification bar is great a great way to receive facebook messages/twitter mentions*Siri to be released soon exclusively on the new iPad.*iCloud feature that I have not used at all do to slow internetCons:-Apple's touch screen keyboard is awkward and the biggest complaint i have (Docked or Split).-The built in speaker is okay but could be louder in my opinion-If overused the battery section of the iPad can be hot to the touch (can be negated with case).-May end up spending a lot on pricey apps (225,000 in App Store) so look into jailbreaking-Rear Camera is high quality but front camera not so much-Can promote carpal tunnel syndrome (Stylus can help)-No USB or SD Card slot-Limited to Skyfire Browser's Flash capabilitiesFavorite Apps by Category:Game Apps:-DreamLeague (Soccer app)-Peggle HD-Words With Friends HD-Fruit Ninja HDSocial Apps:-Facebook-Twitter-SkypeBrowsers:-Skyfire Browser (For Flash Videos)-Safari is my go to browser otherwise-Have heard Chrome is fast but have not tried itStreaming Apps:-Netflix-Amazon Instant Video-WatchESPNMiscellaneous Apps:-Alien Blue (Reddit)-Notability (Taking Notes with a stylus)-iBooks (Reading books you can get for free off the internet ;) )Lastly, SHORTCUTS. The new iPad has many shortcuts such as swiping with 4 fingers to switch between apps or quickly adjust brightness. Look into all the shortcuts that the new iPad features so you do not have to slowly learn them on your own like i did.****If you have any questions or comments i would love to hear it****

In the family we have the iPad, Kindle fire, Samsung Galaxy and Goggle Nexus 7 tablets. So having used all four brands here is my take on the iPad.Pros:Very fast.Excellent for surfing the web and navigating around apps.User friendly.Very Good battery life.Malware free worries.Good speaker volumes.Good for game apps.Bluetooth.Even pixation.Plenty of accessories online for it.Front and back cameras.Cons:Not the best Colors even with retina display. I wish that they were as vivid as Kindle fire HD for video streaming.Screen loves fingerprints.Cost more.Does not support SD memory card (Only Samsung Galaxy does of the four brands that I have used).Costly brand power adapter.Does not use a universal power adapter like all the other brands. You can not use a universal usb micro cable to charge it from your laptop. You are sucked into buying a new brand adapter, if you forget the brand power adapter at home on a trip.Unlike the other brand tablets, you can not recharge the Ipad with a universal cigarette power adapter from your car or with a universal usb micro cable connected to your laptop.As it is the tablet is already costly enough, why make more money from users if they forget their power adapter?Recommend for surfing the web or using game apps.Not the best for online video streaming. Kindle Fire beats them all for online streaming of videos.Recommend the following products:1.ZAGGKeys PROfolio+ Bluetooth Keyboard for iPAD Gen 4.2.Skinomi TechSkin ultraclear screen protector for iPAD Gen 4.

This is my second iPad mainly because I wanted to upgrade to the Retina display and have a 4G cellular connection. (I have no complaints about either iPad - they're very useful devices and deserve 5 stars.) Because I had talked with Verizon customer service before purchase, I knew I wanted the prepaid option and ability to suspend auto-payments.The rep's advice was to open a separate email account for the iPad (I used a free gmail address). I was told there have been problems with AOL accounts in particular. I was also warned NOT to delete the account or phone number when I wanted to stop auto-pay because that would necessitate a replacement of the SIM card. He said I could uncheck the auto-pay option in the cell account settings on the iPad. With that information, I found registration was painless and fast.I used the iPad on a long west coast car trip, accessing the Internet in the car for 3-4 hours a day. As always, Verizon's coverage was good and fast. I found that 2-gigs of data were enough for web surfing, checking email and GPS work. I let the plan auto-renew so I'd have enough data for the last few days of the three-week trip.When I returned home, I wanted to suspend the auto-pay so I went searching for the 'turn-off' option on the iPad. No luck. I called Verizon and the rep quickly deleted the auto-pay feature from my account. She also told me about that option on the iPad but when she looked for it on the iPad 3, couldn't find it either.I plan to use the Verizon access intermittently over the next year, so here's what she told me to do to make sure I wasn't receiving unauthorized charges: Call Verizon to stop auto-pay (800-786-8419), then re-enter credit card information and choose a plan when I want to restart. She said there was no problem in calling them for cancellation as many times as I wanted.Seems clunky to me and I don't understand why I can't manage the account from the iPad, but at least Verizon is responsive and helpful. If I was a bit more of a skeptic, I'd theorize that Verizon makes the deactivation a bit murky in the hopes that users will let the plan roll over rather than call.

I decided to consolidate my digital life from my 3DS, Android Tablet and a few other gadgets into the new iPad. I ended up selling all that other stuff to pay for the $499 iPad that I bought at Best Buy. I'm typically an Android guy as I own the Droid Bionic and have only used Android phones since the original Droid. The only experience I had with iOS was with a second generation iPod touch I bought 3 to 4 years back that I enjoyed.My experience with the new iPad has been very positive. The battery life is fantastic, the screen is so enjoyable to read news articles and watch TV shows through Netflix and other streaming software. I've had two tablets before the iPad (Galaxy Tab and HP Touchpad) and iPad is the only device I've actually wanted to watch HD shows on. In almost all cases, anything I watched on my iPad seemed just as sharp and colorful as my HDTV and much sharper than my laptop screen. Top it off the device is quiet with no mechanical fans running in the background so your watching experience is really luxury stuff. I would note the external speaker is nothing special and that any type of TV or movie watching should be accompanied by a nice set of comfy headphones.iOS in many ways doesn't seem all that different at the core from when I had my 2nd gen iPod touch. It seems Apple has taken a more evolutionary approach to iOS while Google has tried to take giant leaps in user interface design. (Ice Cream Sandwich). In many ways however this has boded well for Apple. the A5X processor (pretty much the same as an A5 just optimized for retina) tears through the menus with elegance and smoothness unlike anything in the market. That type of smoothness in transitions creates an experience where you stop caring about the clockspeeds and dual cores and ram and just concentrate on what you're doing which eases my techy brain into a calm state.I wanted to also note that the heating "problem" people seem to have doesnt' bother me. I rarely heats up and when it does it's just a tad warm nothing more. I recently put it in leather-ish case for protection reasons that seems to have reduced the heat on my hands as well. The battery charge time isn't a big deal to me because I charge my devices overnight and the slight change in heft is laughable as my last tablet (HP Touchpad) was a blimp in comparison.Ultimately to sum it up, the screen has made this device superior in many ways to almost every device I have in my apartment. It's THE screen to use when watching video and reading and it's super sharp and clear. The software support on iOS is the best of the best and the slick transitions make this a great device for almost anybody wants a great computing device when in bed, on the couch or on the go. Highly recommended.

I went to BB to tinker with the Galaxy Tab 2 and the Asus Prime. I was definitely going to order one of those. I had ABSOLUTELY no intention of even considering an iPad. I have always had Android in my phones and wasn't about to change now.As I played with these two tablets, I noticed the pros/cons as stated by reviewers. My complaint with the Galaxy was the bit of lag, especially in the browser... but it was doable. The Prime just flat out disappointed me with it's non-bright display. I thought that someone put the display settings down but it was on high. I tried another one thinking that maybe this was defective and I got the same dark(er) screen. Also had the same lag time. Was also scared about the wi-fi issues I had heard about. And wi-fi is the main reason I am purchasing a tablet.For the hell of it I looked at the iPad 3 since it was right next to these. I immediately saw a huge difference in resolution. The more I studied it the more I was blown away. I went back and forth comparing the text resolution to the other two and there is NO comparison. The text on the iPad 3 is just crystal clear and as sharp as can be. You can even see the difference between the iPad3 & iPad2. While looking at small text I had to zoom in a little to read it with the Androids but with the Ipad 3 I could leave it at it's smallest text and read it easily.Also there was NO lag at all in the browser. It flowed smoothly with no hiccups or lags. After seeing this I went back to the Galaxy and now I can realllly notice the lag. Scrolling through web pages it was choppy and hesitant (in comparison).When pinching the pages, it would jump a bit and go down a few lines. With the IPad 3, no jumping at all. Pinching was extremely smooth and perfect. I have been converted!!Yes, I would love to have the Android personilization, but better graphics and smoothness are more important to me. The other tablets just can't compare in this department. I am a convert.Note - Give careful consideration as to the storage size you need. I was going to get the 16GB model and although I do not do many games, I was concerned about running out of space. If the iPad allowed you to use an SD card, then the 16GB would have been my choice; but I stepped up to the 32GB model to play it safe. Currently I have only a few games and about 4 apps. I have NO photos or music on here yet and already I have taken up almost 4GB of space. Obviously pre-installed material contributed to this but I would recommend that you consider the size carefully. If you will be saving movies, music and large photos, it may be wised to consider the 32gb model.

I've had my ipad for about a month now and I have to say I'm very pleased. This is the 1st apple product I've bought and I have to admit they won me over and I finally found out what all the fuss was about. It's easy to use and figure out. I can do a lot of fun things on it like read my books, play on Facebook, Pinterest and use all my favorite apps (as long as I have a wifi connection) and check my email and calendar. I like it's size bc it's easy on the eyes. I also bought a wireless keyboard so I can do my blogging and other things that require a lot of typing and found it very useful. So far, I like it and I'm really enjoying it. I can't wait to get an iphone so I can sync my devices together.

This is my 2nd iPad. I tried one of the 1st models and liked them, but didn't really "Love" them. After giving my iPad #1 away I took another shot. I LOVE ipad 4 Iris. Unlike a Laptop the iPad is ALWAYS connected, contrary to what others have said I have a 24/7 SOLID internet connection never has it dropped, not even once ???. Now this may be since I bought the iPad version without any phone company card/designation ?? Not sure, but it is reliably connected when I open the magnetic cover..even after a full nights sleep, no wait at all..INSTANT !!!!. The other thing that is exceptional is the SPEED of browsing. VERY FAST !!! much better than my older iPad. We do have a very fast cable modem though fyi. I bought this iPad solely for travel and surfing. For high levels of accounting tasks and say Photoshop applications I still prefer a full sized keyboard with a desktop PC. All in all I am very happy I gave a tablet a 2nd choice. This one is the one.

One thing I dislike about the iPad mini is the battery life. Then again, I am constantly using it since my MacBook isn't working. All-in-all, it's a great alternative to a MacBook. Just minus the memory space. And I did receive the 16GB one as a gift, so no complaints.

The ipad is a good product, but beware Apple support if you purchase online! I believe it's a "dirty little secret"...when you purchase an Apple product on-line...it seems you are treated differently when it comes to support? You decide.... After recieving my $800 defective Ipad in the mail, I was told by Apple Care on the phone to "go to a store and they'll take care of it", so I did so and drove for an hour to the closest Apple store in Miami. So believe it or not, I could not get a repair job OR replacement from that store...or any of the 4 stores in the Miami area! How could this be I asked??? Maybe because I purchased my ipad from Amazon? I couldn't get a straight answer from any of the folks at the store but when I asked if they actually did not have an ipad in the store to replace mine, the answer was "warranty replacements come from a different inventory than ones for sale". And not one store in the greater Miami area had a "Replacement", according to them. I was told my only option was to go to a UPS store, and mail it via ground to them, and then in a week or so they would send me a "Replacement". Again, they could not tell me if it would be a new one, or a Refurb. Very disappointing from one of the most profitable corporations in the world. If I could do it again, I'd try a Samsung Tab.

If you're still curious about whether an IPad is right for you.. you could probably do best going to all the reviews from the IPad 2 or 3. Here I am going to talk about what 'new' features you see in the IPad 4 (also called the 'new' IPad).First off.. they don't make the IPad 3 anymore.. when this was created it was immediately a replacement for the IPad 3. There wasn't a lot of fanfare as this wasn't a huge upgrade over the 3 and was just released with the new IPad Mini.The two main features (for those in the US):- Retina display.. I never thought the display was bad, but this is an improvement. Compared next to the original IPad 3 there is a difference, albeit not overly noticeable unless you get an app that was made for the retina display (not many out there yet as the product isn't even 30 days old yet). The glare issue is still there. If you're using this outside it's basically like looking in the mirror if the sun is at a bad angle. Nothing changed on that front.- Faster speed. Same as above I never thought it was an issue but when using some speed tests it is faster and you'll notice, especially when multitasking, the apps run smoother with less 'hitches'.Also:- Like the IPad Mini and the new phone it has the 8-pin adapter and not the 'old' 30 pin insert.Everything else.. the exact same as the former IPad 3. Battery life is great and while I'm not a 'heavy' user of the IPad (mainly used for web surfing, basic apps, etc..) it fits all of my needs. Overall, if you have the IPad 3 should you upgrade? I don't see a major reason unless you're the type that HAS to have the latest and greatest. I just happened to finally be in the market for one (after years of indifference) and with my roommate having the IPad 3 it was an easy comparison.

The unit meets all expectations as all apple products are as put on the market as the founder would have required RMG.

My family owns 3 iPads and a Mac computer and all of them are about was useful as a Tandy Computer from 1982. You can't do anything with an iPad but play games and if you intend to stay connected to the internet you had better get a graduate degree in software engineering because the average IT Tech can't keep any Apple devices connected to a wireless network. Mean while I have several PC desktops and laptops that NEVER have any connectivity issues. Our iPads are useless and Apple does not have any idea how to make them not useless....so now we have 3 $800 Kindles readers with apple logos on them that aren't as user friendly as the actual Kindles. I have no experience with any PC Type tablets but I have plenty with Apples and I won't waste any more on Apple products I assure you.

Let me start by saying that the mediocre rating on this product had nothing to do with the seller I went through. I had several issues with the product when I first received the iPad, starting with a small issue of the home screen button not functioning properly. This was then compounded into a larger issue by the Apple "genius" not being such of a genius and replacing my iPad with a new ones and not swapping my SIM card (this was after a 3 hour wait at the Apple store). After several more hours on the phone with both Apple and Verizon, I was finally able to get them to over-night me a new SIM card and thought everything should be fine... wrong.The big issue I am now having is a "No SIM card" error, which I clearly do have as evidenced by the SIM card in my iPad. I have done some Google searching and have noticed that many others are having the same issue. My iPad will work great for some time and then give me that error and no longer let me connect to the internet through my Verizon service.All in all, when the iPad is working, its amazing, however when you pay >$700 for an item you expect it to work perfectly without having to lose hours of your time at the Apple store and on the phone. The customer service Apple has provided to me during this time is also making me rethink my switch to Apple products.

Works well as expected. Easy to use.We use it to video water skiing from a boat. For this it works even better than we expected. The skiers can come in and immediately watch their sets and see their mistakes. We also use it to email, still pictures, and Facebook.

I love apple products. In a side by side with earlier models I honestly didn't notice much of a difference. I needed the newer model for work. I definitely recommend getting a case as one drop could shatter the screen and that is not cheap to fix.

Bought this for my husband as anniversary present. He is so thrilled with it. It replaced an older version and he is like a kid in a candy store with all of the new features. Loves the Retina Display on it as well.

I own a MacBook and our household owns 3 Ipod Touch devices, and I made the mistake last year in buying the Nook Tablet. It was ok, but I really didn't use it much because it was a pain to even access web pages, just clumsy overall. So I plunked down the cash this year and took to leap. I bought this IPad on Black Friday from the Apple store and it is getting heavy use every day at my house. Here are the pros and cons:Pros-Awesome Retina display- this is pretty nice. I wouldn't say it was a selling point, but is nice to have.Nice chip- this has the newest chip in it, and you can't get that with the mini.Apps- I love the apps. My Nook was a joke compared to the immense amount of choices I have now.Great for kids- My 4 year old loves it...and I mean LOVES it. There are so many good free apps for her to learn with.Voice dictation- This is it folks. This was where I dropped the extra $130 or whatever. You can build documents just speaking.Lightweight- it feels really good as all Apple products do.Charge time- I run this thing all day long and just plug it in at night.Capabilities- I feel like I am just scratching the surface, seriously.Cons-Handling- You need a case, absolutely. I bought an Otterbox Defender. This thing almost hit the floor 2 times when I got it. It is just slippery and is pretty solid so one wrong shift of weight and it might fly out of your hands.I have no other complaints.

Let me preface this with the fact that I have been an apple user for decades, but am considering other options. Over the last few years, I have thought about moving on. For example, my new MacBook's battery died within two years (new ones cost about $175!) This iPad was great, but the digitizer (glass) broke and it is extremely fragile. It can cost about $250-$500 to fix (you can get one or two tables for the price of the repair alone). By contrast, Amazon has always replaced my items either for free or at a reduced cost. My first Kindle reader broke due to wear and tear, and they gave me a new one at a reduced price. When the new one broke, they replaced it for free (Apple will never do this unless you pay for apple care, which is more akin to gambling than to customer service). I have had two HP computers through work, and they seemed much more sturdy and the battery lasted longer than my MacBook; and were definitely more reliable than my iPad (which with a cracked screen is basically useless).In terms of fun and the number of apps, the iPad may be better. But in terms of sturdiness, product quality, and the ability to replace when broken, I think the Kindle fire would definitely be a better purchase. For the amount I have spent on the iPad and all of the issues associated with it, I could have had about three fires. It seems like I can get everything in Apple that I can in Amazon (syncing, personal cloud, etc.), except that Amazon is less in terms of dollars, and has better customer service and stands behind their products a lot better. Sorry Apple, but my heart may be moving on to Amazon!

I haven't had any problems with my iPad EXCEPT for deactivating my VERIZON account. This product is advertised as allowing you to sign-up for service one month, drop the service when you don't need it, and then reactivate the service when you want it again. DON'T BELIEVE IT!I used the Verizon service for one month, deactivated and received the message that my sim card is associated with another account or is no longer supported. When I updated to the new IOS 6, the sim card was magically reactivated (!) and I could use the service again. I signed up for a month's service again and at the end of that month's service, I deactivated and received the same non-service alert.All Apple forums on this problem have the same complaints. Consumers need a new sim card and are hassled at the Verizon store to change service. As far as I am concerned, this is false advertising so I have filed a complaint with the FCC as recommended in the Apple forum. I am waiting for a call from Verizon before proceeding with replacing the sim card. If I need to constantly replace a sim card then that should be stated in the advertising.The reason I purchased the new iPad was to be able to use it and pay for ONLY the months I WANTED and NEEDED, not for what Verizon wanted to sell me. I am extremely disappointed with both Verizon for the service and Apple for allowing this to happen. This is not how this product is promoted by both companies.If you want the new iPad, maybe you should try AT&T instead of Verizon - maybe they have better service - maybe not! Research it.
