CNET.com 's Donald Bell has written a fantastic and comprehensive review of the Apple iPad that we first published shortly after the tablet's US release, and after using the iPad we absolutely agree with his analysis.

When iPad ordering opened 45 minutes earlier than Apple said it would on March 12th of 2010, I placed my order and a month later received one of the very first 3G iPads to ship. Even though I have travelled extensively both domestically and internationally with it, it has never failed to perform.

Still flawless after 28 months of use; Long battery life; Still runs the latest iOS; GREAT Price

None whatsoever; This is a solid machine; The Elder Tech truly is a d bag

I upgraded from an Andriod tablet to the iPad specifically for work purposes and have found many more uses in daily life for the because it is more versatile and has way better apps available then the android tablet I had previously.

The screen size is luxurious, and despite the extra processor demand, it swipes and pinches with the same smooth ultra-responsiveness of its smaller cousin; It’s fast.

It has its limitations but as long as you know this before you buy, the iPad is sexy, slick, fast and a real object of desire.

Email and web were made for the iPad; games look great and play smoothly; the operating system is solid; speedy and oh-so-easy to use

Flash player for webpage videos; no camera or webcam; costs a small fortune
