Hey fellow Apple/iPad lovers/haters,
Next week, the new iPad 2 will be released in Europe and I would like to have your opinions on my particular choice of the iPad 2 model.
Well, I decided to buy the 64GB Wi-Fi only version for the following reasons:
- Price: the 3G model is still more expensive than the Wi-Fi one (in addition to that you will have to pay for the 3G abonnement);
- Ugly design of the 3G model: I do not like the black plastic strip on the back of the iPad 2;
- The 3G version is less sturdy: it is quite obvious considering that black plastic strip (many users had issues with the first gen iPad 3G, which had broken strips);
- Low quality microphone on the 3g model: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/news/comments/ipad-2-wi-fi-3g-models-show-microphone-differences/;
- Potential heat issues: because of the extra hardware added to the iPad 2;
- More weight: the iPad 2 3G is a bit heavier;
What do you think about this and which model have you chosen???
