Zowie -the new iPad

[ChairmanAgnostic]

I never imagined just how good a retina screen was. That alone is worth it.
But, wow. The speed! I use file maker pro and the iPad version, Go. The doubling of speed was necessary and very welcome. Superb machine.

I still haven't hooked up witha 4G carrier, but so far, this is a worthwhile investment.

1. I've pretty much decided to get one, too.

But I am going to get a WiFi-only. I have an original that is WiFi-only, and a 2 that is 3G. I find I have very little need for the 3G. Every now and again I use it, but honestly, not very often at all. For the rare times I feel the need, my iPhone will get me by. I never have a need to transfer files in the field. I create no documents in the field (just collect data on occasion). I just do email and an occasional google search. The phone is fine for that.

I find that WiFi is so widely available that the 3G is almost unnecessary.

Do you have a specific need for the 4G?

2. I helped a friend do techie stuff today

In return she's buying me (and herself) an iPad 3. Just the WiFi. Can hardly wait to get it.

5. Beautiful.

Ohmygod, the screen. Battery lasts a Long Time. It gets warm with intense processor use, but nowhere near hot.

I ended up with a 4G model, just in case I need it in a pinch. I did not activate the Verizon. Being able to get a plan, month to month with no commitment convinced me.

Download the free app 'Flipboard.' For me, this is the killer app on iPad.

6. sketchbook pro, especially after the recent upgrade, kicks ass

I fear sharing so much info that flipboard permits.

the great screen came in handy today, while I was on trial. I even got to show some exhibits to the court that neither side brought to court. As I said, handy.

Have you checked out Audubon on the iPad? Animals, trees, mushrooms, birds (with examples of bird calls) and more. FAN FUCKING TASTIC.

8. Don't look at the Internet!

They need to upgrade the graphics for Retina.

Check out the Retina iPad apps in the App Store.
