Re: [apple-iphone] Is it worth getting an iPad 1?

Hello Alice,

I have my iPad 1 and like you debated should I, shouldn't I for ages. Then
I bought one and decided to go with the 3G+WiFi 64GB and was delighted with
it. It has really come into its own in the last 6 months as I have been
ill with a bad back - walking upstairs, and I have lots of them, was
tiresome and even though I have a laptop, which is portable, I like sitting
at my desk with it.

The iPad has been brilliant. I can read on it, although I do have a kindle.
I can read, delete and reply to emails, blog and play some games - I like
words for friends and the screen is a little small on my iPhone, although
if I had my glasses on it might help! Not to mention Facebook, twitter. Do
the Sainsburys grocery delivery. I love it!!

I would recommend it and although I will probably update at some point, I
am happy with my iPad 1 for now. Purchasing from eBay is OK. I would really
look around for the best deal - the most flexibility and space the money
can buy and pay via Paypal then you have at least the insurances for the
purchase. What sort of capacity can you get for £120?

Regards
Julie (also in the UK!)
