[Chainsaw13]

Slash the price on the non-3G even more and I might bite. I have no use for 3G.

I got it on the 2 and have yet to use it.
I figure I will activate it when I hit the road agai next month.
I figured for $129, I rather have it than not but still wonder if I truly needed it.

Man do I love this toy much more so than the first.

So you're not forced to automatically subscribe to AT&T 3g coverage? Hmm, too bad I'm saving for my vacation.

Nooooo. That's why I was thinking about upgrading mine. I meant to say I have no use for 3G earlier, I screwed up.
$529 is a crazy price for the 64. Big time.

Not sure this is correct. There may be a reason why AT&T has slashed an additional $100 and Apple has not. If you buy from AT&T I believe you will be required to activate.

No Service Commitment. Min. $14.99/mo. Data plan required. No refunds or exchanges permitted on iPad® purchased at promotional pricing. Limited time offer, while supplies last.

I am sure there has to be a contract agreement for that low price.

On my 2, since i paid regular price, I buy 30 days at a time, wheneve I want or need it and can do it right from the iPad.

My wife had bought me the first iPad for Valentine's Day.
We were able to price match from Best Buy to $549 from the initial $699 since it was within 45 days of purchasing it (as a premier member). We could have gotten an iPad 2 instead, but they didn't have any in stock.

Well, I got a shipping notice, but it was just my smart cover that shipped

[Blueface]

Man I feel bad for those of you patiently waiting.
Good thing is time flies.
Meantime, can't help but remember this as an analogy.

Wife told me I WILL get one, so i'm on my best behavior!

[elderboy02]

Sweet! My iPad2 shipped!

Would it be ok to buy an iPad 1 off of Craigslist? Anything I should look out for?

I'd just worry about the cosmetic condition. I have not heard a single story about any ipad quality control issues or things that break and fail or anything of that nature.
Make sure you get the wall charger because you can't charge an ipad from your computer.

I am going to try and get an OG iPad. Should I just get the WiFi model or do you recommend paying for the 3G service?

I'm not sure what an OG is, but I don't have a 3G model.
There were a couple reasons, I didn't have 3G where I lived, I already had an iphone and didn't need data on both my ipad and phone, and there's wireless everywhere I go. Plus I didn't want to pay the bill for data.
From all the stuff I've read, you really have to think of "how am I gonna use this thing?"
I use it to read books and magazines, and for dragging it when I travel. I use it for internet on the couch, because I hate a laptop. It's not a laptop replacement, so get that out of your head if you were thinking that. It's close though, depending on your habits. I'm an email, internet surfing goof, so it fits my needs perfectly.
I guess what I'm saying is "think about how you think you're going to use it."

OG = Original = iPad 1.

I think you sealed that for me. iPad with WiFi is good enough. Is there an app for wireless printing?

Erick,
I have had both.

My original was wifi only.
My new one is 3G.

If $129 is no option, get it. Better to have it than not. In my case, I travel and when I do, I can rely on 3G where no wifi.

If you don't have plans of using it remotely, save the money.

[Blueface]

Also, go with 32G minimum unless you only plan to surf the net.

Right now, I have 46.8G on my 64 available. I have only had it for a couple of weeks and already 16G gone.

Got ya.
The ipad has bluetooth, and it should be able to print. I've never done it, and never had need to, so I don't know. You'd have to Google that one.
For some reason I think that capability came with an OS upgrade somewhere along the way.
