TheVerge‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The fourth-generation iPad is the very definition of an iterative change: Apple made important things better, but neither overhauled nor revolutionized anything. If the iPad's history is any indication, the fourth-generation iPad's advantages over the third-gen model will be most apparent two years from now, when apps are designed for the better processor and the Lightning connector has spawned a much larger universe of accessories. Then you'll want the extra power and the adapter-free lifestyle. For now, if you're within your return window you should probably swap for the newest iPad, but if not? Rest assured you're not really missing that much. Not yet, at least.

The iPad tablet is not a replacement for any other device you own. It is designed for media consumption, and on that front, it delivers brilliantly.

The iPad continued to wow us throughout the long-term test. No hidden flaws became apparent in the hardware, and we still like it just as described in our original review. The new iOS 4 represents a significant improvement, thanks especially to the introduction of multitasking. Does the up-to-date technophile need an iPad? A difficult question, particularly for those who already have a smartphone. But once you have an iPad, you won’t want to be without one...

It's high time Apple brought multitasking to the iPad. To be honest, I'm somewhat surprised this tablet has been as popular as it is without this very important feature. But that's all water under the bridge. The new email and calendar features are also welcome, especially for people who use the iPad for work at least some of the time. And many are going to welcome the new app folders, Find My iPad app, video rentals, and the other new features included in this operating system upgrade. I just wish AirPlay had turned out to be more of mountain and less of a molehill, but maybe Apple will change this in a future version.

With Christmas close to hand, and the competition finally getting their own tablets out, the latest update to Apple's tablet gives it a much needed shot in the arm. The criticisms we made of the iPad's hardware in our original review still stand, but the software is miles better not only addressing the failings of the iPad as launched, but adding in features such as AirPlay that we never thought we would want, but would now be loath to give up. If that's not the definition of a success we don't know what is.

Phone Arena‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Even if we try to ignore the fact that the iPad makes for a more appealing tablet in a number of areas because of its bigger screen, the reality of its far superior software remains. This is evident with almost every application and functionality, from the internet browser to the YouTube client. While not as versatile as the Galaxy Tab, due to the lack of some secondary features (for a tablet, that is), say a camera, the iPad is still much more functional due to its far better app support.

The iPad can be both delightful and frustrating to use at the same time. Think carefully before buying, especially if you already own other portable computing devices. The iPad is mostly a pleasure to use, but Apple's odd design choices and high price means we can't give it an unconditional recommendation.

Want a giant iPhone that can't make calls? Happy to buy the first version of something before the manufacturer gets it quite right? You're going to love the iPad. Looking for a funky alternative to a low-cost laptop for a bit of e-mail, web surfing and a dash of WP? That initial attraction will quickly turn to bitterness and recriminations as you slowly uncover your new partner's bad habits. On the fence? Stay there until the kinks are sorted and Apple lowers the drawbridge a little so the iPad can get acquainted with the outside world a little more.

The Apple iPad makes a great second computer. Pair it with a high-powered desktop and you'll have a setup that gives you what you need: both power and portability. You can have a desktop in your home office with a huge screen and no real constraints for heavy lifting -- gaming, video encoding, that sort of thing -- and an iPad for thing like Facebook and email when you're in the living room. Plus it won't get too hot to hold in your lap, and you won't have to keep it plugged in.

It’s a luxury but the iPad looks great, sounds great, and is a joy to use for an ever-expanding range of tasks.Talking of HD, the 1024 x 768 screen makes downloads look superb. Play an HD episode of Lost and the crisp detail, black depth and bright colours are an absolute joy, while the sound from the built-in speakers is surprisingly reasonable, even if it’s a bit quiet. You’ll want to use headphones for serious listening, and if you do so, you’ll be rewarded with a musical presentation that adds extra weight and attack to the already detailed and rhythmic delivery of the Touch.

The iPad is fun. It can't and doesn't want to replace a notebook or netbook. And as soon as the small computer is seen as a pure entertainment device, the advantages are obvious. The interactive consumption of multimedia content is the main application field of the iPad. Especially the first magazines and comics in iPad format make you want more.

The iPad 3G has a reasonable touchscreen keyboard – certainly one that’s much easier to use than that on the iPhone, for all but the shortest messages – and the ability to remain in e-mail and Twitter contact, wherever you are, is, for some, a major consideration. If you bought a WiFi-only iPad and, in six months' time, someone offered you 3G functionality for an extra £100, the chances are you'd jump at it. Best to make that choice now, while the deal is still on the table.

What the iPad is "useful for" will evolve with new apps and ideas, but in the end, it is just a tool that should help you do what you usually do... more easily and in a better way. You have to ask yourself why it would be useful to you. Actually, if you think "what is the purpose of this?", then there's probably no reason for you to get one.

Like any 1.0 product, the iPad has its rough edges, the worst being the erratic Wi-Fi reception. However, the basic design is spot on. It’s small enough to be portable and comfortable to use, yet large enough to work really well for tasks such as web browsing, reading books and playing video. The battery life is outstanding and the A4 processor seems to have power to spare.

Engadget‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The buyer of an iPad is one of two people, the first is someone who sees not just the present, but the potential of a product like the iPad... and believes in and is excited about that potential. This is also a person who can afford what amounts to a luxury item. The second is an individual who simply doesn't need to get that much work done, and would prefer their computing experience to be easier, faster, and simpler.

MacNN‘s review Edit Like Unlike

The iPad does not serve as a perfect replacement for a notebook computer, e-book reader, smartphone, or TV. The device is progressive, however, in its ability to strike a unique balance between portability, usability, and productivity. And as a first-generation product, Apple probably has many additional features waiting to be added.

Besides being a great Internet appliance, the iPad is also an excellent ebook reader, music player, and digital picture frame. Given all of those pluses, the iPad is not a perfect device. It really needs multitasking, a camera and a USB port. Printer support would also be nice. But we are sure that in Apple’s eyes, these missing things just leave room for improvement in future versions.

The iPad is a great device, it does exactly what it says on the tin, it isn’t designed to replace your computer, instead it is designed to make certain tasks very easy.

tweaktown‘s review Edit Like Unlike

It is overpriced and limited by the OS and Apple’s xenophobic ways. We do think that a good jail break will open it up a lot more and could make one of these worthwhile (with the proper development support and apps). We hope to let you know if the 3G model with 32GB of space is better value sometime in the near future, but we are not sure if we are willing to invest that kind of money again so soon, especially considering that it will be at least $230 more than what we have already spent on the 16GB WiFi one (32GB 3G iPad is $729.00).

The screen is beautiful. The productivity apps are usable if not excellent. The games are fun and rich. The form factor is striking. Like all new technologies it will take a while for this device to find its place in the world but when it does, watch out. While I won’t say we’re witnessing a miracle here, for folks who need to do a little browsing and a little text editing – along with a little gaming, a little file sharing, a little photo viewing, and all the rest – the iPad is definitely a device worth the investment.

There are two conclusions to be made about the Apple iPad. As a product you could buy, it's a tempting but ultimately unconvincing device. Anyone with a particular penchant for Apple, or enough money to burn and a love of shiny tech, are likely to buy into it. Unlike the iPhone, however, it doesn't traverse the boundary between early adopters and the mass market. Most people probably wouldn't know what to do with it.

The iPad is revolutionary, but it's not a true handheld device. That means you should think twice about whether you really need AT&T 3G before plunking down the extra cash for this version of the nation's best tablet.

The Apple iPad is here, and if ever there was a contentious gadget, this is it. The iPhone already showed a legion of users that, just because a smartphone is smart, it doesn’t have to require a degree in order to make the most of it. The iPad, meanwhile, demands compromises just like its cellular sibling, but in return it delivers a user experience that borders on the enchanting.

Nonetheless, $130 still feels a reasonable amount to pay for the convenience of having a device that can connect in most places you might find yourself. Let’s face it, an iPad is hardly a “necessary” purchase in the first place, and so the usual penny-pinching has to be balanced against getting the most from a luxury buy. Unless you know your iPad is destined to be a stay-at-home gadget for the rest of its days, we’d lean toward Apple’s iPad WiFi + 3G.

If you've never used the iPhone - or any tablet device for that matter - then you really need to try an iPad in person. Truly portable computing; effortlessly portable computing - is a simple concept, but don't underestimate what it has to offer. The iPad fits perfectly for some very specific activities that have become key to our digital lifestyles.
