With the iPad already having crossed the one million unit sales mark, there are hardly any doubts that Apple has yet another successful product at hand, after the highly popular iPhone – a fact that is further fortified by the April 30 release of the 3G iPad, which apparently is an amazing piece of hardware bound to change the users’ perception about mobile computing.
Once the 3G iPad manages to pull a signal – a difficult task, given the notoriously overloaded AT&T network -, it manages a respectable 735 Kbps average download speed on TestMyiPhone. com.
Furthermore, the 3G iPad spells entertainment galore for its users – what with a remarkably immersive web-browsing experience; admirable e-mail and calendar apps; as well as apps for playing music and looking at photos!
However, one of the most notable drawbacks of this wonderful device is that it is unlocked – and is compatible only with Micro SIM cards, currently available only via one US carrier, AT&T. Another minus of the product is that users are essentially stuck with the App Store, which though boasts ample choice - with over 185,000 apps, of which 5,000 are iPad-specific -, but restricts users only to what Apple approves.
Nonetheless, in all, the 3G iPad is actually part of the much-enviable brand-new gadget category, which includes devices that can bring any kind of content for their users – anytime, at any place.
