A good device to buy for interesting games and helpful apps

4

It's a good device to own because it helps a lot with apps and its big screen and light weight of it, simple to use and helpfully.

amazing tablet ipad

5

The products has many great features and is easy to use but, there are some things I think could be improved. The speed of the network is slow. Also, the fact that it's a little complicated to setup. Battery Life It depends on how much you use the iPad and what apps you have. Some with use your battery up so quick you won't realize it. Some actually preserve you battery like. I have the cool one called "Battery Saver". It has increased my battery life to twice as much as it was before. Great app! Processing Speed I love the processing speed. I thinks it's super fast for a tablet computer. Weight It's not that heavy, unless you put a case on it. Then it becomes bulky and almost a nuisance. But, the iPad itself is sleek and slim. App Availability The App Store gets all the apps before any of the other stores. Design I like the sleek design, it makes it easier to fit any where. Durability The product's durability is great! I've had mine for years and it still works fine.

It's alright

First of all the i am an avid fan of apple and all of their products but the IPad is much better on paper than what it really is. The IPad is just an extremely large IPod, worse than a IPhone yet more expensive. The battery is extremely short and dies in about an hour of use. Then the screen will crack very easily like mine did and was way to much to repair so i just left it with a crack screen, that is not all, the home screen button stopped working properly and now only works about less than half the time i press it. Battery Life Probably the worst battery out of any smartphone, tablet and MP3 player combined. Weight The weight and size makes the IPad uncomfortable to hold and my are and wrist gets sore after a short while of holding. App Availability This is one thing the IPad has going for it only because Apple has a great app store. Design The shape of the IPad is not great, the IPad is a little to big. Durability The screen is to big and will crack like mine, and my home button. I almost forgot my lock screen button also almost entirely stopped working and requires repetitive pressing just to lock it.

Slows Down After A While

4

I have had my iPad for a couple of years now and love it. It still works great, but has slowed down a bit over the last 6 months. I have also noticed it crashing much more frequently lately when trying to watch videos on youtube. I purchased a newer version, but will likely keep this one for my toddler to play with. Design Seems pretty heavy.

Love it - this is truly the Apple product to get.

This was my first real introduction to an Apple product. I have also since gotten an iMac, and will hopefully soon get an iPhone. This product is just the right size for a tablet. It's big enough to actually be able to read your email - trying to read your email on your phone is pretty annoying. I'm convinced that's why people email in textspeak, which drives me nuts. The iPad is a great choice for being able to read email - it also is large enough to be able to see attachments and interact with them. You're not squinting to see them on a tiny screen. I have found many use for this around the house - pull up a recipe app and bring it in the kitchen instead of printing a recipe. Whiny toddler on a shopping trip? Hand it to them and let them play a few games. I use it at night before bed to read books and listen to podcasts. I can even plug it into my car stereo. It definitely needs a case - I think Apple oversells the accessories for their products, but this is one thing you do need. It has a great battery life. I plan on upgrading to the iPad 3.

Ipad 3 lives up to Apples standards

4

We have been using an Ipad 3 for a few months now and can hardly keep the thing charged because it is used so much. I am impressed with how many useful apps are available and most of them have a free version to try. It is also very handy for traveling and we even use the video function for taping some of our kids sporting events.

Apple ipad first generation is durable and lasts

5

I still have my Ipad first generation 32 gig with 3g and it is in perfect condition. Being that I also have the Ipad 3 wifi only 32 gig, I'll say it is definitely not as fast as the newer Ipad models, but it is still adequate and loads faster than my home computer at times. There is the problem of no flash content, but still so cool, versatile and fast enough. Many apps available, although the nbewest Apple software version, 6.0.1 isnot available with this older model. (for example no Siri, the safari pages can look a bit different ), Can't take pictures with it, but you can take pictures with a digital camera and upload them to this Ipad model via a special connector device (camera connection kit). This will give you more to carry than the newer versions but, what the heck. It's still great. The 3g isn't the fastest but sometimes my portable 4g hotspot is just as slow. You can connect to faster wifi points with it. clear diplay, though not as high definition as my Ipad3, but still very good image quality. I still love and use it and it works fine after all these years. Is it about 5 years? Not sure anymore.Time flies. Ease of Use Great for beginner internet users. Love the ability to turn the images, pages vertically or horizontally to your preference. Battery Life With all the recharges I've done my battery life is still adequate. I don't charge every day. Support & Service You really need Apple Care plan t get the best support. Although you can always bring it in to an apple store for questions, though that's a bit inconvenient for some. Speed/Performance Not as fast as Ipad 3 but fast enough for a happy user. Design Apple Ipad is great, cannot compete with other brands Durability Has survived with me unscathed over several long years.

User friendly and portable!

5

I've owned the iPad with Wi-Fi+3G since it first came out and I'm still extremely happy with my purchase. I don't own a PC or MAC at home so this is my primary way to go online, browse the web, visit social networks, and order items. It's user friendly that even my 3 yr granddaughter can figure it out! Battery Life Excellent! Processing Speed Not a problem with speed at all. Weight Lightweight yet durable. App Availability I have downloaded several game apps plus the Kindle app and have about a 100 books downloaded! Design Meets my needs for design. Durability My 3 yr old granddaughter plays with it quite a bit and unfortunately has banged it around more than I'd prefer, but there hasn't been any damage because of her handling it. Very durable in construction - I do have a case on it as well.
