.Frostpaw Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Th4e Ipad 16GB? My mom is willing to buy it for me, but I read its not any good. Are the Wi-Fi problems real, or are they mostly just Apple haters trying to make people hesitant about buying the iPad? My laptop's intranets doesn't work anymore, and I'm sick of using my grandparents' desktop for everything computer-related I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 The iPad is either four or eight iTouches glued together. And I know. I have the iTouch, my friend has the iPad. I compared them, and they do exactly the same things. <_< Get a new laptop or get a new router? Seriously, don't waste your money on a worthless piece of... pad. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Shovel Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Don't buy it. It's cool, yes, but not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, don't waste your money on a worthless piece of... pad. <_< I've tried at least 3-4 new routers, and my computer still won't work. I'm thinking about getting a new laptop, but i is afraid it will has the same Intranetz problems as my current laptop. I don't have an iPod Touch or iPhone. Would that make this worth getting? I've always wanted an iPod Touch, but sadly, I never got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyshock Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well if i were u, get the Ipod touch.It cost less and the only upside about the Ipad is that it has battery and $300 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Well, the iTouch is pretty much the iPad. <_< And it can run apps and whatnot, so it's not a total iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 iPad = iTouch x50. And it's true, the Wi-Fi is still kinda unreliable. Wait for the next version or firmware before getting one. And you can't jailbreak or pirate any apps yet, so unless you plan to pay for each one, don't bother until one's released.

kizzfan911 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Your honestly better off buying an iphone. It has internet wherever and it actually has a camera on it. I dont think there is even a webcam on the Ipad. The iphone has apps. Not sure about the Ipad(even if it did they would not be as good as on the iphone. 3g internet is better than wireless router. Routers suck(just saying). I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get me an iPod Touch because they think I'm trying to trick them into buiying me a "Touch-screen iPod," when I explain that it has an app store/other cool stuff. They don't trust me with a cell phone because they say "You'll call people on the message boards." They know me too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kizzfan911 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Haha. id say to go ahead and get it since it is the only thing you can get. Its better to have a crypad than nothing at all. Parents are the reason i pay for all my own stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Marluxia~ Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Don't buy the Ipad. THe Internet problems are hard, You have to pay for most apps, and the Ipad ALONE is $500.00. In other words, Don't buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 The 3G is not better than Wi-Fi. It just depends entirely on the location you are in, and the reception and Internet speeds that are there. Using my school library's Wi-Fi, I can load a single page in one-two seconds. Using the 3G which would take me at least 10 seconds to load the exact same page. It just depends on how your Wi-Fi is. If it's really good, it's fast. If not, then your Edge or 3G might even be better. And your iPhone does not have Internet wherever unless there is Wi-Fi in the area or your plan includes data. The iPhone's camera is a P.O.S. Seriously. The 3GS might have a better camera, but the normal 3G iPhone has a terrible one. The iPad will most likely have the exact same apps as the iTouch/iPhone. I really don't see anything special about the iPad. It even looks stupid. If somebody releases a hack that will let it be used as a tablet for your computer, then it'd probably have a use to it.

kizzfan911 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 ^ what she said. I never leave my town really so i do always have 3g and my wi-fi sucks balls. I have a 3gs(with data plan). Not sure about the regulars camera. My guess is that it will have less apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Frostpaw Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I just found out I can get a $500 or less laptop instead. :) So the internet will work fine on the iPad if I have a good Wi-Fi router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
