The iPad's large size is as much a hindrance as it is an advantage
The iPad can't entirely mimic many of the specialised products it seeks to replace
The iPad, like most modern Apple products, is a revolutionary device capable of changing the way we interact with music, movies and the Internet forever - except it's just going to take some time and a few updates to get there. Do I like the iPad? Yes....
Abstract: So to summarise: I think the iPad will be a big hit, it already is in the USA. I suspect that the UK and other countries will see the initial iPad stocks sell out rapidly. But this will all be to gadget geeks like me. For it to be a success on the scal...
Abstract: Your decision to buy an iPad "WiFi + 3G" depends a lot on your situation. If you are happy with the AT&T 3G service in your town or at the places where you travel, then it's nice to have as an alternative to WiFi. But don't expect the upload speeds (or download speeds) to match a good..
Abstract: Apple's iPad Is Impressive, but It Still Needs Work ( Page 1 of 2 )Apple's iPad is a groundbreaking device that needs a promised OS update to reach its full potential, eWEEK Labs determined after examining the device's manageability and usability in th...
Abstract: Today's iPad is like Hannah Montana: polished, happy, and fun, but also grasping for maturity and hopelessly overhyped. Forget the commercials and just imagine a real iP
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...
Abstract: Wi-Fi may be plentiful these days, but it's far from ubiquitous. A device like the iPad is just begging for always-on Internet access, whether it be for checking mail, surfing the Web, or even keeping up with your latest game of Words with Friends HD....

The 3G iPad is every bit as good a device as the Wi-Fi-only model, and it's only more capable than its fellow model. There are no significant tradeoffs with the 3G version, as long as you're willing to pay more in exchange for more capability. My coll...
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....
