Everyone I know with an Ipad loves it.
A friend that works for Apple says they're blown away by the demand. Apparently there's a push to integrate them into the classroom. She'll likely enjoy it.

The iphone 5 is considerably better than the 4/4s. Screen is bigger and better, LTE connection is MUCH faster, Siri actually works too.

She loves her iPhone 4, and uses it all the time. However her eyesight isn't as good as it once was, and it's sometimes difficult to read. We have a macbook pro 17", but it's too heavy and bulky for casual use. So naturally, I was thinking about getting her an iPad, and she herself as mentioned she wants an iPad. But her best friend who had an iPad first, then got an iPhone says that she barely uses her iPad anymore. Hmmmm.... I'd rather not spend $700.00 on a coffee table coaster. Honestly I thought of one thing... a trip to LensCrafters or your preference of eye glass maker. |

I have both and I use my Iphone much more than the Ipad. That said, I love my Ipad and use it every night and morning to sort of check out what is going on with work and the rest of the world from the comfort of my bed. It works for what I need it for. It's not a work station but more a surf station. Worth every penny IMHO.
Edit: And I am blind as a bat, so it nice to be able to read a screen without my contacts or glasses. |

Yeah, it sucks aging. They do make them seamless and for less then buying new electronic products every couple of years. |

I was very much like you about the iPad. I never really could see a benefit in it and was reluctant to part with so much cash. That said, I got an iphone 4 about 2 years ago and found it to be easy to use, and have never had a compliant. I ended up buying an ipad 12 months ago, mostly for when I am away from home, but we have actually used it in awful lot within the home with instant access. I must say that I'm not into the whole battle between Apple and non-Apple people. As far as i'm concerned the kit works, it's reliable and easy to use and if I look at the amount the kit gets used versus the cost (cost per hour use) the initial outlay becomes trivial in terms of pennies per hour. If you get an ipad then it will be anything but a coffee table coaster. It will get used more than you think

TBH the iPad is just a giant iPhone, she'll use the iPhone and iPad for the same things. If you think she'll use the bigger screen then the cash is worth it.
I would recommend the iPad mini, but it's a massive rip off at the moment. If you wanted to go down the 7" route then the Android tablets are so much better. |
