Great battery life. Everything the Wi-Fi iPad does well, this iPad does just as well.
No way to sign up for or manage the 3G data plan except on the iPad itself. We had significant activation problems requiring multiple phone calls to fix. Why is this device tied to AT&T again?...
Caveat emptor. If your activation goes smoothly (and it should), we’re sure you’ll love your iPad. If you get stuck on error Q5033, either return the iPad immediately or get ready for some quality time with AT&T’s service techs. But really, if you don...

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...
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.
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.
The iPad is revolutionary, but it's not a true handheld device. That means you should think twice about whether you really need AT&T 3G before plunking down the extra cash for this version of the nation's best tablet...

Apple's iPad isn't a direct competitor to the Nintendo DS or the PSP, nor is it a replacement for your laptop. What it is though, is a compelling argument for a slick, portable, media consumption device that will be a disruptive force across all of ent...
Gorgeous 9.7" touchscreen, elegant design, gorgeous user interface, and runs games faster than any other iDevice.
It's expensive, and regardless of your feeling about Adobe's Flash, the fact that the iPad can't run it is inconvenient.

Sleek design. Gorgeous, sharp, accurate touch screen. Improved iPod, Safari browser, photo and e-mail apps. iBooks look fantastic and titles are easy to purchase and download. A plethora of downloadable apps.
Lacks Flash support. No camera or video recorder. No multitasking capability. Cover Flow is missing from the iPod app. Doesn't ship with a case. Earbuds aren't included.
A difficult-to-pinpoint target customer and a few pesky omissions are overshadowed by the excellent overall experience you get with Apple's iPad. And it sets the bar high for competing products in this nascent Internet tablet category...
