Due to programmed obsolescence, the 1st gen Ipad can only surf the web and correspond via email. Everything else was cutoff by Apple after introducing the Ipad 2. I bought it to gently introduce my dear old mother to the digital age. Web surfing and email is all she'll need.

I shopped around and found the best deal on line. It was better on line than in the store. Also, on line was able to offer more options than in the store. The ipad works great and had no problem getting it set up with my cellular service.

A review of the 2017 9.7in iPad to find out if it's a good upgrade for anyone still using an older iPad.

1) When I put ipad for charging it is not charging giving me error accessory not supported; now I don't know what to do? 2) Second issue is while working on ipad for constantly 10 min it suddenly shutoff all open application and come back to home screen

The iPad is a fun device to use - the interface, the apps, the games. Browsing is a fun experience too. This is a quality lifestyle product that is fun to use. However, it's aimed at having fun, and not at getting work done. Priced at Rs. 27,900 to Rs.

Well designed; well built and attractive looking; Great simplistic interface and very good onscreen keypad; Great gaming experience; Wealth of applications available

Expensive; Lack of a front camera for chatting and such; Lack of memory expansion as an option; Display is prone to smudges

0 Flares 0 Flares × ‘Apple' - It is a name synonymous with a strong emotional response. Never has a company evoked such a dramatic reaction from the enthusiast userbase – you either love ‘em or hate ‘em, there is little room for middle ground.

On the eve of the launch of Apple's iPad, I am thinking of Ed Roberts. He never became a household name, but as the man behind the Altair computer - a kit for lunatic tech hobbyists released in 1975 - he was responsible for launching the microcomputer era.

Compact, cool-running, speedy - and a groundbreaking new way to consume media; You already know how to use it; Thousands of apps will make it more useful and fun

No multitasking means no gadgets or widgets: Does IM really need a full screen? Virtual typing is tricky when holding iPad upright; No way to print directly; Apps are only available from Apple's App Store

SOME ARE CALLING the Apple Ipad a potential replacement for the laptop , so we've put it to the test to see if it really lives up to expectations. At the Ipad's heart is an A4 chip which actually is fast.

Speedy A4 processor; eye popping screen

Cost; 3G option is even dearer; Lack of expansion capabilities; no peripheral ports; inability to load software other than what's approved by Apple

Today I am checking out the 16GB Apple iPad. The iPad launched Saturday and was dropped off on my doorstep by early afternoon Saturday. Yesterday I posted up some unboxing pictures of the device and a few early impression of the iPad.

Fantastic on-screen keyboard; Great screen; Lightweight; Good-looking

Strange issue with WiFi drops; iPad native apps are too expensive in some instances

Very happy with speedy delivery all in all from purchase to delivery less than 24 hours.

Easy to use; None
