Apple iPad MC349LL/A 16gb (Wi-fi + 3g) Review

You are either going to pick this up and love it, or pick it up and wonder what the heck it is.
For me this is a great product. If you have an iphone or an ipod touch you know how to use it, it really is just bigger. Although it's faster and easier to use because the keyboard is larger and there is more screen area to use for applications. i bought the Wifi model initially and loved it then upgraded to the 3G as it allowed me to provide remote support anywhere I went. I put my movies, music, games, RSS readers on it and never looked back. The iPad truly is a great device. I imagine that there may be other brand coming out but in today's marketplace the iPad is the best portable computer I have seen.
Some people say that it has flaws, I have only run into one website that I frequently use that didn't work, and that was CNN. All other sites I visit have changed their video formats over to html5 or other ipad friendly formats. Flash not running on here is really not a big deal for my applications.
This makes a fantastic book reader as well. I've actually read more in the last few weeks with this then I had in the last few years. It makes reading so accessible because no matter where you are if you have a few minutes you can pull up a book, read a chapter and then move on without having to carry a book around.
This is a fantastic product, I can't say enough about it. So why did I give it 4 stars? Because it's a bit heavy, and that's the only reason. But if you consider the battery life in my experience has easily been 10-14 hours without a charge you realize that's why it's heavy. It is so nice being able to have a computer that you can literally use all day without having to turn features off to try to save battery and still not be able to exhaust the battery.
Great product.

Customer Reviews
Wouldn't be without it. - Captain Ahab -
I wouldn't be without my iPad.
My wife liked it so much I had to buy her one of her own.
Now we both would not be without our iPads.
It has even changed the way we both read and buy books as well as magazines.
I am a personal trainer and I take it with me to the gym and record my clients workouts on one of the many fitness apps.
totally overpriced - Christopher Gifford - USA
I'm not gonna bash the ipad, I'm actually gonna buy one, but why is the price 140 dollars more than if i went down to best buy down the street. thats one hell of a mark up
the ipad goes everywhere with me! - Mama Mia -
Im just loving the iPad. It eliminated me having to carry my laptop with me everywhere i went. Lightweight and fast! I opted for the 3G which is a feature that i couldn't do without. The ability to be online anywhere i go (almost everywhere i go) makes it easier for me to keep up with emails from work and up to date with the news while im on the train. I would recommend buying a nice case for this. I got one from apple for and it was well worth it. Avoids scratches and gives you a better feel when handling the unit. 16g is plenty for the average user based on research i did online. The 32g and 64g are more the for people that need to download big files and a ton of songs and movies. A good tip would be try not to have all your emails directly on your ipad. Instead try to use a website that links you to your emails. This will avoid you taking up memory with emails saved on your ipad. I have added Skype to my ipad and im able to even make phone calls now. Just wish this came with a camera!! Im sure that will be out in 3 months and i'll just HAVE to buy that too!
what's with the price!? - Tali -
Thinking about getting one, but what's up with the price? Why in God's name this one is 300 more than what Apple has to offer? Very very confused.
