Default iPads?

Evening all

I've been thinking about getting a iPad on contract as I'm too skint to shell out £600 plus in one go. Anybody know of a good contract deal that's ongoing at the minute it doesn't have to be a iPad 3 I'm happy with a 2 really. If anyone knows of anywhere let me know thanks.

And half that price again you can get yourself a playbook - works well and actually has 2 speakers, unlike the iPad...

Also small enough to take places without looking a cock too. We even take it to the pub for boy to play games on.

I bought a 16gb iPad wifi only and it does everything I need it for, if I need 3G I tether to my phone in the long run its cheaper than having 2 contracts and I don't really store much on my iPad, I have a nas at home and with an app can access everything on that if I need to. Must be one of the best things I have bought for a long time it's made my laptop redundant. Think they are selling the iPad 2 wifi only for about £300,
Also with the camera connection kit I can easily upload to photo bucket if I need to put any pics up.

Check out the new Google Nexus7. Under £200 and a really nice tablet!

I have been converted and love apple products, they do what you would expect and app support is far superior, in fact when I need a new laptop I will probably go to a mac. They have got the design and marketing just right and I must say the build quality is great.

Yeah get the cheaper wifi only one, then use the iPhone hotspot to get on the net for free, works fantastic.

It's just going to be the generations, i.e. Iphone 4 and S etc, just subtle additions, if anything like the phones then the difference will be very little.

You don't have to get a 3G version, thus no contract!

Exactly, yet people still harp on about how expensive they are, but who said quality ever came cheap, the reality is you can't compare them to a PC, certainly in terms of build quality.

There are also myths about MAC OS and also with people saying "you can't upgrade them".

They never consider the resale value either.
Bought my IP4 for £250 at launch. Upgraded to the IP4S yesterday and orange are buying my IP4 back, after a year of use, for £190.
Apply stuff really holds its value extremely well.

try doing a trade in deal like that with your Samsdung. LOL
