Anybody upgrade from 1 to 3?

[Redjericho]

I currently have a 1st gen and most likely going to purchase a 3rd gen because i've heard its a massive upgrade, has anybody done this already? Is the difference worth it? What improvements are there in particular?

i haven't done this personally, but the main improvements will be the screen (if not yellow) and the gpu performance.

almost everything since iPad 1 has been upgraded.

I upgraded. The difference is pretty amazing. Gone is all the lag, Safari crashing, and memory errors. The 1 gb of ram makes a huge difference, the screen is crisp, and I think the upgrade is totally worth it... JMO though.

I am going to do this, just not sure when. My main reason to upgrade is to be able to run iPhoto on my iPad. I found a way to install iPhoto on my iPad 1 but it crashes a lot. I see myself using this program a lot in the future mainly to share Photo Stream pictures with others using the iCloud Journal feature.

I did it without any problems. just backup your 1 before setting up the 3.

good luck

I agree. I also switched to a 4G. Makes it much more useful when I'm away from wifi.

No. Nobody has done this already. You will be the first one.

I'm on my new iPad now, upgraded from the first. I held out waiting for a Retina display, and I'm happy I did because the quad core graphics and 1GB of RAM means I don't think I could make this thing stutter. It plays back 1080p video!
