Bought an iPad 2 64G/WiFi/3G today!
 
I bought an iPad 2 64GB 3G WiFi version today. I already love it. It's fantastic , much of an improvement over the first model.

Tragic loss of Steve Jobs, unfortunately few people survive his condition more than a few years, I hope Apple continues down the path of bringing beautifully designed and highly useful products to us all.

if you havent already get an hdmi adaptor, its pretty cool playing games and stuff on the big screen

AdultKing 10-06-2011 07:10 AM

might have to get one of those :)

Evil Chris 10-06-2011 07:11 AM

I'm thinking about getting one soon myself. Just haven't gotten around to it.

DateDoc 10-06-2011 07:16 AM

There are a few people projecting a run on Apple products because of Steve Jobs death.

AdultKing 10-06-2011 07:37 AM

I bought mine to replace my iPad 1. The iPad 2 is fantastic, can anyone recommend a great ssh app for it ?

candyflip 10-06-2011 07:38 AM

$799 or whatever they want for that model is too much.

I'd love to have any pad that had a phone number :2 cents:

I think it was good value, I would not recommend getting the WiFi only version as I think mobile data is one of those things you'd be wanting if you didn't have it.

Better yet get AppleTV so you can mirror what's on your iPad and iPhone wirelessly onto your TV. I went to Apple and bought the $40 HDMI connector and it's unsightly and way too short unless your couch is a foot away from your TV. For the extra $60 bucks ($99 for AppleTV) you can do the same thing without the wires AND get all the features of AppleTV.

It's just an extra $60, but a colossal difference. Enjoy your new toy! :thumbsup

been wanting to ditch my v1 for v2

Scott McD 10-06-2011 10:23 AM

Would only be interested in one if/when they drop the price...

My phone has 4G that I can use to create a hotspot that any of my other wireless devices can connect to. No need saddling myself with yet another contract and monthly service charge.

i nearly purchased one then when i started to look at the xoom and the samsung my head is spinning
ok what do i need i need a tablet to use on the net and i really like the android market that i have been using for 2 years know but ive played with the ipad and i like it
i dont know

seeandsee 10-06-2011 11:07 AM

i want one, but price in europe is crazy

alexchechs 10-06-2011 11:09 AM

Ever since I got an iPad 2 for my birthday this past spring I rarely use my laptop at home. It's perfect for travel as well.

Adam X 10-06-2011 02:11 PM

Got one for my gf's bday..

Its great for surfing.. email, etc..
no Adobe Flash like the iphone which is lame.. couldnt see our tracker
after ordering Domino's pizza.

Sure you can use apple tv to mirror it and when ios5 comes out it'll be even better..
but you're locked into watching whatevers compatible with itunes.. no avi/divx.. remember no flash tv stations... I'd like a mac os x lion tablet... even the windows 8 tablet coming looks good..

enjoy your new ipad

patavax 10-06-2011 02:43 PM

Apple products are way too expensive, certainly in Europe!
I use Black Berry Bold 9700 + Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) and the latter one is way much better than Iphone4 and a bit cheaper! Apple is sold here with contracts and I don't like that as I want to be free to use the cheapest network! BB is good for my email management and the Galaxy for media.
But I know that without Steve Jobs there was no Samsung Galaxy S2. And to be honest: if Apple products were cheaper I would go for the Apple iphone + tab! But if there's no price drop (I doubt that will ever come) I will never buy an Apple product!

Sid70 10-06-2011 04:12 PM

Sold an old one and bought a v2 about 2 months ago, it's much better then the 1st.
It's irrelevant talking the price of apple products, even I can afford it.

NetHorse 10-06-2011 10:45 PM

I might pickup an iPad3 when it's slated to come out early next year. Rumors of a quadcore processor, 2048 x 1536 resolution screen, slimmer design and 2gb of ram sounds pretty amazing.

V_RocKs 10-07-2011 12:22 AM

How do you like it? Found any work related apps you can get things done with?

TrashyContent 10-07-2011 03:33 AM

Yep...
 
I Love myn, got it in white and even have a cute pink cover on it lol :thumbsup

I have a app that allows me to remote access my desktop, so that's pretty cool when I am travelling around... :thumbsup

KLAN 10-07-2011 04:46 AM

I do not see the usefulness for any ipad.
It's just a bigger iphone that cannot make phone calls.
You could use it if you are interested to test your white label or your own site on it but what else?

John-ACWM 10-07-2011 07:21 AM

They are great, enjoy yours!

drmadcat 10-07-2011 07:33 AM

This is my first post on my XOOM really quick faster than my ipad loads great on web and typing is faster too

Why aren't all TVs the same screen size since they all basically do the same thing?

Why would someone get a 50" TV when they can watch the same programs on a 13" TV :winkwink:

Stef. 10-07-2011 07:53 AM

I will probably go with an Asus eee pad transformer next week. With the dock station keyword w/ usb, hdmi, memory slot.
Looks like the best buy at the moment. Simply don't want to enter the geeky Apple world: overhype, expensive, compatibility problems, brainswashed followers...

You said it right! basically.
But iPad lacks telephone calls function that iPhone actually has.
Is like to say about 2 television: one smaller with which you can do everything (watching regular channels, play consoles, going on internet etc...) and the other one bigger but that do not display regular channels.

If there was no iPhone and only the iPad had telephone call function people would be complaining that it was too big to carry around to use as a phone. The iPad is not a phone and it isn't meant to replace the phone however one can Skype on it.:winkwink:

While the iPhone can do pretty much everything the ipad can do AND actually function as a phone, the only reason to get an iPad would be to enjoy a much larger screen view than an iPhone which was the point of my TV post. Given a choice of watching a two hour movie on a flight with either an iPhone or an iPad I'm pretty sure the ipad would win.

Another reason to have an iPad is it can be used without committing to an annual service contract. If one could only have one device, the iPhone would be the smart choice as it can do it all. The iPad compliments the iphone by being bigger and I'm pretty sure that everyone that gets an iPad didn't choose it over a phone as they already have one.
