Apple iPad (Wi-Fi + 3G)

The Apple iPad is a revolutionary, addictive Tablet PC with Wi-Fi. Add in 3G, and it becomes even more useful, just perhaps not $130 more useful, which is the premium you'll pay for always-on connectivity. And with 3G you have to tack on another $15 to $30 a month for service.
Pros:
  • Sleek design
  • Gorgeous, sharp, accurate touch screen
  • Improved iPod, Safari browser, photo, and e-mail apps
  • A plethora of downloadable apps
  • Flexible and affordable 3G service plans
Cons:
  • Costs $130 more than the Wi-Fi-only version
  • Some applications don't work over 3G
  • AT&T is the only U.S
  • carrier with 3G support

Thanks to its simple, iPhone-like user interface and responsive screen, Apple's iPad is the first tablet computer with the gadget x-factor. It won't replace your laptop for anything but the basics, but, for Web addicts, iPhone fans and technophobes, it's a tasty slice of gadget goodness
Pros:
  • Huge capacitive touchscreen
  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Attractive design
  • App Store is filling up with apps and games
  • Compatible with iPhone apps
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Fast and responsive
  • Easy to sync and back up
Cons:
  • Awkward to hold
  • Heavy
  • No camera
  • No Flash support
  • Limited multitasking capability
  • On-screen keyboard can't compare to a physical keyboard

Apple iPad 3G Review

I didn't expect to enjoy using the iPad to the extent that I felt during this review. Apple may have received some criticism for calling the iPad their answer to the swell of inexpensive netbooks that have flooded the market, but having spent a substantial amount of time using one, the conclusion is...
Pros:
  • Internet everywhere (almost
  • Long battery life
  • GPS functionality
Cons:
  • 3G is an extra $130
  • Crippled video apps

Apple iPad

The Apple iPad isn't an eBook reader, which makes it very hard to compare it to other eBook readers. It doesn't use e-ink technology, it's heavy, you can't read out of it in bright places, and the display will strain your eyes eventually.
Pros:
  • Amazing design
  • Most intuitive interface yet
  • Full-color screen
  • Wi-Fi and 3G wireless
  • Will do just about anything
Cons:
  • LCD display is hard to read from in bright places and will eventually strain your eyes
  • Battery lasts only ten hours
  • Heavy
  • Costs almost twice as much as the Kindle 2 or Nook
  • Additional 3G wireless fees apply (around $130

Cons:
  • Very few ports

Apple Ipad

SOME ARE CALLING the Apple Ipad a potential replacement for the laptop , so we've put it to the test to see if it really lives up to expectations. At the Ipad's heart is an A4 chip which actually is fast.
Pros:
  • Speedy A4 processor
  • eye popping screen
Cons:
  • Cost
  • 3G option is even dearer
  • Lack of expansion capabilities
  • no peripheral ports
  • inability to load software other than what's approved by Apple

Apple iPad review

The iPad is a great tool if you only need the capabilities of an iPhone with a large screen. Sure, email and the browser excel here, but to make it perfect for everything else, it needs much better security and you'll have to purchase the extra dock and keyboard to make working on the move viable.
