Alright, so I've owned an iPhone since June 2007. Now I have a 4S and I look forward to the next iterations.
But since the iPad released 2 years ago, I've always considered getting one. My friend upgraded to the new iPad and decided to sell his original one. He said he would sell it to me for $200. It's a 1st gen 64gb+ 3G model, has a nice leather case and the original box etc
This deal was too good to pass up. I had considered dropping the $700+ tax for a new iPad 64gb model.....but for $200...I thought this will suffice for now. I refuse to have less then a 64gb model.
Ok, well after messing around for a couple hours last night. I'm very impressed. It's on iOS 5.1 and I've setup my iCloud etc. this thing is surprisingly speedy. I expected it to be slow since its older and I'm used to a 4S, but to my surprise it zips along rather well.
I installed a few games like Max Payne and a few others that were universal and I already had purchased on my iPhone. They were FAR easier to play on this huge screen. Everything I do on my iPad just seems "better". There's more real estate so I get more information and it just looks fantastic. I found myself glancing at my iPhone to text etc and thinking "man my iPhone looks so small and the icons are cramped".
The iPad just seems so "free" so to speak. The big screen really does make a huge difference. My iPhone is still king, because it goes everywhere with me and fits in my pocket. But my iPad will get 98% of the home usage I can see. Netflix looks fantastic on it. Just simply browsing around was quite a pleasant experience on this thing.
My question now is, what iPad only apps have I missed? What's some must have apps out there?
