Funksdead Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Thinking about getting one for the wife for using around the house. Just want to get a wifi model not 3G. If she is out she can use her iphone for tasks and such. Questions: does anyone have and use one? Dependable? ease of use? need for accessories ? Quote
ajnl Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 I have the ipad 2. Also just 16GB with wifi only. And so far I love it dude. It pretty much replaced my laptop computer at home and sometimes at school. Also don't have to bring all my books to school anymore, since they are just on my ipad as well . If you end up getting the ipad 2, I think it is worthless to get the smart cover. I decided to just buy a case for it. And if you need to clean the screen just get some Screen Cleaner spray. Besides the case, i haven't gotten any other accessories for it. In my opinion, since she already has an iphone, getting the ipad is more worth while. Since some applications will work on both and your itunes is already set up. Anymore questions? Quote

Thoracic Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Thanks for the comparison Zuthus. I have the Ipad 1 (3g,wifi 16gb only the generic apple cover) and like it as well, it has replaced my laptop for non work essential items. Also we have some apps the kids like as well and they use it (3 and 5 yrs old) and the apps hold their attention for longer than we expected, in addition to their educational value. Based on the comparion if they are the same price the 2 seems to be the way to go, debatable if the price was lower for the 1. Could probably have a whole topic on all the different apps that are used and opinions on their value. I've read a few books and it is very convienient using a program like the kindle app one book was 488 pages (Shackleton's South) and didn't have a problem. I wouldn't say it is a must have item but a nice to have one and I think its value will increase and evolve over time. Quote
ajnl Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Its not that i HAVE to have my ipad 2. But I like to have it Quote
Thoracic Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 The only fps game I have is Sandstorm and I would say it is a good first attempt but not spectacular. The later generation games might be more compelling. Quote
