Apple iPad

[Ashley S]

Hello guys.
I am considering buying an Apple iPad, for web browsing, chatting and basically gaming on.

If I was to get an iPad 4 would it be worth jail breaking it? Or is it to dangerous?
I would also consider buying a Mouse & Keyboard for it too and a HDMI cable to attach to my 50" inch screen.

Thoughts?

Wait on the next gen iPad that will be revealed this year. Most likely it'll be the same price as the iPad 4, and the iPad 4 will become cheaper.

PS. do not get the 16 GB version if you want to keep over 4 large games at once. Games like Need For Speed and Modern Combat 4 Zero Hour are 2 GB.

Get the next gen iPad, like said. You can't really use a mouse, as there's no pointer. But the apple keyboard is nifty, but this built in keyboard is plenty big.

Wait for the new one. There will probably be an announcement in the next 3 months or so.

I think you need an Apple TV, or video adapter to attach the iPad to a TV since the iPad does not have Micro-HDMI built-in.

You would need a Bluetooth keyboard like the Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard to connect a keyboard to the iPad.

Jail breaking would most likely void your warranty, so if your iPad breaks during jail braking, or before the warranty expires, Apple may not fix your iPad.

I love Apple, and I think an Apple Ipad 4 is the way to go 🙂

I read the iPad 5 will come out soon, so waiting a few extra months is worth it since the iPad 4 will be cheaper, and the iPad 3 will probably cost less as well.

The iPad 3 has been discontinued.

lol. What...?

 

[iPhonefreak]

They don't make the iPad 3 anymore.

They don't make the iPad 3 anymore.

It's still available at many stores.

 

[iPhonefreak]

Perhaps in the clearance rack or an open box item. But they don't sell them new anymore, in stores or online. Unless you can find a fella that hasn't used his.

Yeah, I agree with Marc
They still sell them in Canada

Your mistaking them with the iPad 4. Apple does not produce them for the market anymore.

That store won't be around for long if it still has iPads in stock from 8 months ago.

Or locked up so nobody steals them haha. Usually they have the box out and you bring it to the front and they give you the iPad for the box.

No, open box sections are where it's been opened by a previous owner.
