Depends on your use. I am not sure about availability of apps on iPad 1 vs iPad 2 vs iPad 3. But if it almost same and you are not into the retina stuff go with either iPad 1 or 2. I bought an iPad 2 after iPad 3 was launched as to my eyes the retina thing did not look different. I was not able to perceive any difference between the screen of iPad 2 and 3. May be that is just me.

You just had money in ur pocket and thought to buy a tab!!
If ever u need a tablet down the line do let us know what was the use and which one u settled for

Yes I did not do anything like that. I just saw the home screen. But still the additional $$$$ of the iPad 3 over iPad 2 was not convincing for me to spend them so I got iPad 2.

I was searching for something to use as ebook reader with good file support
Bought android galaxy tab2
The chm reader apps constantly crashed
In ipad chmate app never ever crashed with a much better interface and smoothness

As mentioned by someone unfortunately AVPlayer isn't available currently. It's a pain to convert the videos and then copy to my iPad. Is there any alternative? Also if it's not available then which is the best player?
Do we really "need" all the gadgets that we buy? The answer for me & many would be a simple NO. We buy gadgets, try them out, if we like them, we are happy, else not. Eg. I purchased an iPhone 4S, now did I really need it? For simple calling & Messaging, a phone worth 2k would suffice. But I went ahead and purchased it & am happily enjoying its usage. Therefore usage later on determines whether what you bought was worth it or not.
Whereas with the iPad3 it was a different ball game. I could not identify its usage or the help to me. I felt its more suited to Kids learning, playing or Women folk. & there it went out of the window in an instant. Simple!
Now whether I would buy a tab in future or not. Probably YES but I will get a 3/4G tab with calling facility. For now Im pretty inclined towards the Phablet - Galaxy NoteII. Waiting for its prices to stabilize...

^^ exactly
you didn't need a tablet in the first place, at least u didn't knew that
For me as a medical student ebooks are essential so I knew what was my use and purpose
For browsing also it's too good

If you are saying you bought iPhone 4S only to do calls and messages then obviously you bought the wrong phone, even for trying. When you buy an internet enabled device like iPhone or any android phone, they have far more functionality available than your usual dumb phones. So when you put that amount of money in the phone, you should ideally know how to utilize them. But many people buying high end phones only for the sake of being cool (not saying you are one of them) but not knowing how to even open a web browser.
I am sure you will be happy with the Galaxy note as this looks like something that will fulfill your wants of a tablet with calling functionality and if you are not into ebooks and such, the note should be good. For ebooks also it should be good but compared to a 7" or 10" tab the screen will be smaller (obviously)
Been there done that! Though with conventional books. For the sole purpose of eBooks, a tab worth 6k should suffice. But the potentials are immense if its meant to be taken to Libraries, Canteens, Campus, Classes, etc. fairer folk would drool, ain't that cool!:bigok: Now these things were never on my mind! I see people flaunting their stuff glued to their car windscreens, get a life guys, it looks EL CHEAPO!
At any given time, there are about 40 odd tabs open on my Lappy, an iBrick can't afford >5 decently.:O What a restrictive environment!
So, the iBrick had almost no use/value to me & I could not make a solid case for it no-matter how hard I tried. While kids, women folk go completely gaga over it. Offcourse they must be finding something worth in it!

Regarding my iPhone 4S purchase, I actually wanted a good phone for the basic purpose of Calling, texting & Net. Additionally I wanted a Phone that was sleek, had a good TS & looked beautiful. After the purchase I've realised that it comes good on most parameters but Browsing, I find the screen a bit smaller for comfort but its useful in times of need. I must admit I do not use any other features of the phone, use GPS occassionally. Not much of Music guy + iTunes is not my cup-of-tea. Still I give this device ++.
Another reason to settle in for 4S was, I did not like what Samy was offering at that time. Other players were almost nascent. So there were a couple or more things I liked in the 4S while with the iPad3 I could not find enough reasons to stick to it. Had show-off been one of the needs, I would have most probably retained it, wasn't short on money or anything. Simply do not want to collect eGarbage.
Just curiosity why almost at cost of wifi model?

This is plain BS. I open 9-10 tabs in safari and 18-20 tabs in Chrome at a time, in my iPhone 4. No lag in switching between windows or apps.
:lol:
raksrules - saar there is a lot difference between iPad 2 and iPad 3 screens, try browsing / iBooks / Games next time. But I felt new iPad heats up quickly...

i use iMovie Player. It was a free app last time I checked. Played most media files without coverting and with subtitles. And why don't you try out RemoteFiles . It a great app for streaming vidoes, etc from your pc through wifi, which removes the need for transferring files. Its an ultimate app for an anime freak like me.
Query,
Any good voip Apps for calling and receiving calls in within India ?

A reason not you buy ibricks in impulse.

I am not saying there is no difference. I am saying I was not able to perceive it and moreover I was not able to justify the extra cash for the retina screen.
But I really like using the iPad and I have for now almost stopped using laptop for those things which can be easily done on the iPad.

You just look like a 12th std kid bro
am married and no showing off motive or impressing girls!!
When you cant buy all the books that are in .chm format and cost you more than 7k each then a handy ipad is much cheaper
and as i said am a die hard android fanboy and i bought the cheaper tab2 but the apps failed me!!
just not reliable when u want to highlight the lines!!
Even for movies its playing great for me with proplayer and avplayer HD
All official apps also have better support and interface.
For phones i wud still recommend galaxy note 2!!
As a reliable ebook reader ipad is the only way to go with the retina acreen being absolute joy!!
And to counter the exorbitant price i bought a month old ipad3 than a new one at an excellent price....
Hope u got my point why am praising ipad
it just suits my use and am not going to replace it over next 2years
I read books a lot and have bought hundreds of books. I was never comfortable reading on screen including kindle(for pdfs its horrible) until I bought ipad 3. I already owned ipad 2 and for me ipad 3 is way better for reading books than ipad 2. Anyone reading books or browsing , I can bet you can never go back to non retina tablets once you use ipad 3 for a few days. ;-)
