Q.
A. Well, this year in my school we are using iPads instead of paper and desktop computers. I got my iPad in preparation for this switch. So far, on a one to ten scale, it's a 6.
The Good:
It is very ideal for playing games on and watching Netflix or Amazon Instant Video. Whatever you have. The lowest GB iPad they have, I think is 16, which means despite the Apple Update you get occasionally and all the files/apps you can't delete like Notebook, Gamecenter, Messages, Maps, Reminders, you still have a lot of space for YOUR stuff. Your stuff being movie files, music, pictures, games, and other apps.
The good news is that if you're an Apple fan, you can't go wrong with and iPad. The iPad 1 is outdated, but it's okay if you're not planning on using it for work or school. I have an iPad 2. It has better graphics and more space and just overall: better. I heard the iPad 3 is pretty much the same as the iPad 2 and it overheats.
Overall, it is fun and you can do a lot of things with it. It comes in handy a lot, too.
The Bad:
If this is your first Apple purchase and you are used to PC and have used PC for a long time, you may not want to get it. It is VERY different from a laptop.
Accessing and using the Internet on the iPad (using Safari) took a while for me to get used to, but it's okay. I prefer my Dell XPS laptop to look on the Internet over my iPad.
The REAL Bad:
To move your music from your computer to your iPad, you cannot use Windows Explorer, you cannot use copy & paste with the files. You HAVE to download iTunes to interface with the iPad. I did not like this.
iTunes makes it harder for me to take a CD, rip it, and put the songs onto my iPad.
I just don't like iTunes.
If you leave a lot of apps running all day, the battery runs really low. Fast.
Even if you close out of your apps, they are still open. I found out to get rid of them and actually close them, I have to double click the home button where a panel appears and i can hold and exit out of all my apps.
Another thing that is bad is that if your iPad gets wet, or something goes wrong with the battery, you cannot access it. It isn't like a phone where you take the battery out and dry the phone in rice. You'd need a pretty big bag of rice and a miracle for an iPad.
If you don't want your iPad to break in the first week, you need to purchase a case for it. (Good) cases cost from $50 to $90. I recommend the Otterbox Defender Case for iPad.
Don't let this list of "real bad' stuff scare you out of getting one. The worst "effect" that could happen is you becoming a couch potato and not going outside because you're addicted to your iPad. I hope this helps.
What are some giftcards for ipad?
Q. My friend is having a birthday party soon and I want a gift card for their ipad. What types of gift cards could I get besides iTunes card?
A. The only thing for a iPad would be a iTunes card.
They sell by $10 $15 $20 $25
$custom in some places like cvs
And that's all unless you wanna buy them a defender type case for it.
How easily does an ipad screen get damaged?
Q. Would it be safe to put an iPad in a bag with a few textbooks or would it get damaged banging against the books? It is in a case.
A. It would depend on the case. I have an otter box defender series case for my Ipad. My two daughters have thrown, dropped, and hit each other with it and it has not broke yet! I would say it would be okay if you have a good quality case. Here is a video of a guy throwing his Ipad out of a window on to concrete with the otter-box case. Hope that helps!
