iPad 2 64gb wi-fi 3G Bestbuy price $829.

I generally DO NOT buy extended Warranties, but on such a portable device seems like a good idea(?)

Then Bestbuy is pushing the BESTBUY with drop and spill coverage. Because Applecare does not cover those items.

Checked the apple forums seems he may be right.

Since I don't have an Apple store near - example on the iPad (1st gen) there was/is an issue stress cracks in the plastic covering the antenna, the first ones that had it with no visable evendense that they were droped were denied.

Oters that were replaced somtimes got referbed units that had dents. 

 

I am very careful but not as fast as I think I was and definately not lucky.

 

What is your advice (and no I won't hold you to it)

Adam good advice for the mifi Verizon but I think they are not by the month.

Verizon is my cell carrier (the only carrier I can get in my area, but considering AT&T iPad since I believe it works in Europe (my Droid did not work in Europe and had to get

rental phones from Verizon $1 a minute)

 

Thanks

Stephen

I agree. The 2 is noticeably better and for the same $.

Given the keynote by Steve Jobs, yesterday, there's nothing new to offer in iPad or iPad 2 in the foreseeable future.

I'd certainly recommend getting the iPad 2.  I wouldn't get the cellular data version -- it's expensive and the data service is slow.  I have the Verzion 4G MyFi and it's brilliant -- 10 to 20 Mb/s (seriously!)  Of course, coverage can be patchy.

The iPad 2 has cameras, so it does video chat and functions as an okay camera.  Very fun for kids.  Numerous fun and educational games.  Cheap.  It's a tiny bit thinner than the iPad 1, but not important.  The main advantage is the faster processor -- it is noticeably faster.  The clip-on cover is a bit useless and inconvenient sometimes.  We reverted to a conventional neoprene sleeve.  Mounting the iPad 2 in the car makes for a excellent in-car navigation, computing, video entertainment.  At home, it's a great home automation tool as well -- nothing in the "proprietary" realm of products for in-car or at-home comes close to the quality of an iPad 2 and they're often multiples of the price.  We've now become "dependent" on having an iPad here and there.  Once it's "in the cloud" it will be indispensable.

Now if I can get Barns & Noble to get a Color Nook version.

I asked them and told them iPad and Kindle have it why don't they. They responded I have to ask the publisher to make it available in DIGITAL format. I responded it is already in DIGITAL format the ball is in your court.
