Comment:
I finally took the plunge and purchased an Apple iPad Fourth Generation. I have a lot to learn but learning with this is fun. I never thought I would enjoy a movie any more than on my big screen tv but this iPad is a little wonder. The picture is just dazzling. The apps are unlimited and many are free. Very happy with my new iPad so far.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
