This is my review of the 16g WIFI version of the iPad. I bought it on launch day in the UK (May 28th) and got the keyboard dock and Apple neoprene case. Enjoy Cheers
@TheGebs24 Thats a tough call for me then as im looking at using it to replace my existing Dell laptop so need to be able to connect to the internet through Ethernet primarily…
Our wireless connection is only switched on for 7hrs a day to stop our teenager sitting on the internet all day and night… lol
@XFile2708 Hi Marcus, The keyboard and dock are extra unfortunately…£55. Apple are really tight. You get the most basic of instructions with all their products. Additionally, the iPad has no ethernet port. It’s either wifi or wifi with 3G (depending on the model). For gaming it’s well worth it!!!! The HD screen is a beauty
Hey Gem, fantastic review, very impressive. My parents are seriously considering getting an iPad and your detailed review will definitely help them make up their mind. Films and games certainly look stunning on it. Keep the awesome videos coming hun, talk soon! x
@TheGebs24 ha ha I stand corrected. But Im not slating it at all matey, Im sure its really cool and I would love to own one. Im just saying I wouldnt buy one thats all. Im not a big HD fan either. I dont even use my PS3 in HD?!
Im glad you’re liking it mate and Im sure its a sweet peice of kit ;o) x
@interghost Hi Adam, Thanks. I’m afraid you’re wrong though. It’s not a ‘big iPod or iPhone’. For a start it has the new Apple a4 chip which enables the iPad to be used in HD (plus more). It’s bigger, better and faster and for people that follow Apple, there are many little tweaks that the iPhone / iPod don’t have.
Excellent review… I’m seriously thinking of buying one, you could’nt take it everywhere due to it’s size, but it would certainly make the weekend visit to the inlaws less boring Comics, Games & Movies… Awesome:D
Nice video Gem, but I dont think I will get one. Two reasons, 1st too expesive and 2nd its just an over sized iphone/ipod touch. (And hard to fit in your pocket haha)
It does look nice and Im sure they will sell a packet but its nothing new and laptops are still better, and less chance of smashing the screen ;o) x
seems very good,although i’m still thinking of it just as a big ipod touchiphone,and nothing else.the thing i like about my ipod touch is the portabilty,something thatquite doesn’t fit(no punt intended)with this one..nice review asalways,love your voice Gemma

This is the 2nd time ive watched this vid now – am still seriously looking at one of these to replace my ageing laptop… lol
Does it come with the keyboard and dock as standard or are those additional accessories?
Does the dock also give you an ethernet connectivity or is it purely a WiFi only device?
@dancentral Thanks Dan. Let me know if your parents get one

@fez350 Thanks. The artist is ‘Jem’ and the song is called “come on closer’
Thanks Dan

@Jacesfaces Yeah I use it mainly for video. I’ve just got the ‘Pages’ application and it’s similar to a word processor but with a twist. LOVE IT
Nice review! Do you think you’ll use the iPad alot?
