What is the difference between the iPad3 and OS? And what is the newest version of the iPad? I want an iPad and I don't know what is the newest/best iPad....and what is the price to put 3 or 4G (whichever is availible) in the iPad? One more question: can u put 3 or 4g in the iPad? (which one is available)

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

The new iPad or iPad 3 came with OS 5.1. All other iPads were given the choice to update to this version also. Whenever an update is released it is your choice on whether you update but it is available across all iPads. I myself would recommend to update whenever they become available as all apps get updated also to run on the new OS.

The 3G/4G version is more expensive, you can just google for the different prices. If you want this feature you need to purchase the 3G/4G model as no it is not something you can add later. I will say that the 3G/4G models are the iPads to purchase if you want true GPS ability and as the chip is built into the iPad, an activated sim is not required to access it. Hope this helps you.

Hi, I'm Scott.
I recently almost bought an Android tablet, but the shop didn't have stock of the one I wanted so I walked away. I'm so glad, because while rethinking my decision I realised that what I really want is simplicity, and not just in operation of the device itself, but in the ecosystem, and in the way my, and my families various devices intergrate and work together. (My wife has an iPhone, the kids have iPod Touches, and all my music is in iTunes.) I am an IT geek, and in days gone by I would happily spend hours fiddling and making stuff work, but these days, when I get home from my day job, I want stuff to "just work." I must be getting old.
So I got an iPAD instead (iPad 3, 32Bg, 4G) mostly to use for web browsing, email, and reading technical docs while commuting to and from work, and I really love it, but I soon realised that to maximise the benifits I would have to get an iPhone. I had an iPhone 4 supplied at a previous job, but I never really 'got it' so when I moved to a new employer with an option to take an allowance and supply my own phone I bought a Galaxy S2, which is a fantastic phone (and I still prefer the S2's screen and larger keyboard to the iPhone) but it was a standalone device, with no real intergration with the other devices and services my family uses. So, to cut a long story short, I sold the S2 - 2 days before the S3 announcement and my seldom used 120Gb iPod Classic (who carries an iPod and a phone these days?) and got an iPhone 4S.
So now I just need to trade my PCs for Macs and my journey to the dark side will be complete. I really can't see that happening, but you never know.

Hi all. Errrr...bought my very first IPad Wifi 32gig about 5 weeks ago. I'd have introduced myself sooner but, wow. I mean holy tablet Batman! Isn't this thing just amazing? Of course you lot already new that. Lol. Must admit I kinda got sucked in my a lot of negative press that Apple tends to get which put me off even considering buying the IPad but when the new one came out I began checking it out on various sites/reviews and I decided against it. Wonder if it was released too soon what with the problems people have encountered? So, I figured the Ipad2 must've dropped in price and yep, managed to save £90 on it. So, here I am. My first ever IPad and it really has blown me away. Having said all that. Loving this site. Everything you'll ever need in one place. Just like the IPad. Laters people.
