Can't live without my iPad - I use it everyday of the week. so easy to use. Good job apple

I am a screen junkie, I LOVE a sharp display. My iPhone 4S blew me away with the retina display. Sure I wish it was just a bit larger but overall it is a pleasure to look at. When then announced the iPad 3 (yes I know they don't call it that but it gets confusing to call it the "new" iPad) I was very excited that they bumped up the screen resolution. I really didn't enjoy reading on the iPad 1, the text just wasn't that sharp. It reminded me of working on my laptop. The backside camera wasn't really a selling point for me, I can't imagine holding this tablet up and taking pics/video. I can imagine using the front camera for face time calls with the great screen. Apparently the A5 processor has been bumped up for better video, which I guess they needed to do with the extra pixels that have to be handled. When I saw the screen for the first time I immediately bought it. I LOVE having a super sharp display. The killer feature for me is the readibilty of the display for books. I have used my Kindle less and less as I read more books on the iPad. Our local library has an eBook program which lets you check out eBooks for up to three weeks. My reading has ramped up now that I can browse the web and select books and read them in a minute. This is great! Photos look amazing on this display. It is hard to describe to people how sharp and clear things look. You need to see it in person and see if it matters to you as much as it does to me. With the new processing power it can handle iPhoto and iMovie much better. I can't imagine using those apps on my iPad 1. I bought it with the cellular data capability but I haven't had the need to use it yet. The iPad 3 has drifted into the creation category, before this upgrade I think it was more in the consumption category. It looks like Apple once again has set the bar for everyone else to beat. I really hope the competition can get something together that can keep Apple sharp. Right now I am LOVING the iPad3.

this the most amazing ipad ever. the display is amazing. when you swipe it it feels smoother than the ipad 2. if you add a keyboard case it will look like a laptop. i love how i can take pictures with he amazing display. i would recomend this to people are a lot on the computer and hate carrying their laptop with them. but what also was cool you get to pick wifi plus cellur option were get internet even if your in a train or something like that does not let you call from or get internet from. but one little bad thing about this ipad is that it keeps randomly taking pictures of my home screen. is it just me or is it on every ipad.

Having bought the new iPad for my wife Christmas 2012 we have had a month to enjoy the new version and compare it to the previous model. If you have not ever used an iPad then I would definitely recommend trying one, they are fantastic tools and will change the way you browse the Internet and read news articles (some play games on there as well :-) ) The point of this review though is to say I would not upgrade this time around. Yes the battery seems better, the retina display is fantastic with possibly the best colour reproduction I have seen. However.. Its still the same old reliable iPad. when you have been flicking pages in a book, or playing angry birds the screen is covered in finger prints and looks no better than the iPad 2. Over all a great tablet, possibly the best on the market, you wont be disappointed to own one. My opinion if you have an iPad 2 then you don't need an iPad 3.

The iPad 3 is one of the best things i have seen with its high quality retina display and all its cool features its great for work and with its cool apps that make it even better. From the iPad 2 to 3 was a big jump.

The new IPAD is absolutely one of the best hand held devices i have ever purchased. The biggest surprise was the built in double sided camera, this has allowed to to have lots of fun with the IPAD. The first IPAD was great, however did not come with the built in camera and therefore this is why i love the new version more. I purchased the 16GB version, and was plesently suprised at how much spare storage room I had after installing the main basic apple applications. The screen is very responsive and in addition is large in size, most especially when comparing to my blackberry and netbook. Well done Apple on producing a brilliant next generation tablet computer. The Wireless connection issue I encountered was due to my router, once this was corrected, I have had no problems accessing online reosurces and mobile applications. I also share my IPAD with the rest of my family, young and old, they all love using it for different reasons, and all of them fight for access on a daily basis. A top gadget, and one that I personally recommend to all families out there.

good delivery and value good service likely to deal with simply electonics in future

Apple began taking pre-orders for the iPad from U.S. customers on March 12, 2010.[3] The only major change to the device between its announcement and being available to pre-order was the change of the behavior of the side switch from sound muting to that of a screen rotation lock.[34] The Wi-Fi version of the iPad went on sale in the United States on April 3, 2010.[3][35] The Wi-Fi + 3G version was released on April 30.[3][4][4] 3G service in the United States is provided by AT&T and was initially sold with two prepaid contract-free data plan options: one for unlimited data and the other for 250 MB per month at half the price.[36][37] On June 2, 2010, AT&T announced that effective June 7 the unlimited plan would be replaced for new customers with a 2 GB plan at slightly lower cost; existing customers would have the option to keep the unlimited plan.[38] The plans are activated on the iPad itself and can be canceled at any time.[39]

I'm a PC girl, this is my first tablet and it has blown me away with it's style, ease of use and versatility, not to mention portability. The new ipad is just a pleasure to use for work and a treat to play around with at home. I thought I would use it mostly for music, but I watch a lot of tv, play games, read, you name it, even the odd jigsaw! Worth every penny, there is rarely a day when I don't use it.

people say there are a lot of new features and it is much better, but the problem is: the ipad 2 is really similar to this new one, and every year apple releases the same product with lots of improvements, but as i said before, there's almost no difference, so why buying something more expensive if you have virtually the same product. i've compared both and i can't distinguish between them, but one thing that i noticed is that the ipad 2 is lighter. so, what i'd say about that, if you're going to buy a new one, buy the ipad 2, because it's lighter and cheaper.

Superb peice of kit, I've just bought one for my elderly mum who has eyesight troubles. She loves it and can make the internet larger for her to see with a flick of the fingers. She even finds the apps and programmes much easier than her laptop, an amazing piece of kit, not just for the young and trendy.

So beautiful! I just like to buy one!!!

I already own an iPad2 so I decided to buy muy hubbie his own for his birthday. When I visited the local Apple store theyhad both 2 and 3 alongside each other. The ipad3 is heavier and bigger than ipad2 - and I cannot see the difference in screen resolution. To me anyway, the whole point of a ipad is to not lug a heavy laptop around so I would recommend you to buy the (now, much) cheaper ipad2 and pass ipad3 by..

I had my doubts from changing from a traditional laptop to an iPad; long time overdue for me. Technology is speeding up and it looks like the new iPad is helping me with my everday internet needs. Easy to carry too.
