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?

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

nothing.

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.

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.

I can't wait.

They need to upgrade the graphics for Retina.

Check out the Retina iPad apps in the App Store.
