The average iPad

The iPad 3 is not a tablet you would go crazy about but you wouldn't throw it in the trash either. It has it's pros and cons to balance out what is probably the worst iPad out of the first four. It works, just not as well as the other iPad's.

Great Tablet!

The screen is bright and displays crisp details. The battery is average and can last for about 5 days of normal usage. The loudspeaker and the microphone is good. The aluminium back and glass panel on the front give it a good build quality and hefty feel.

Not the best tablet money can buy !

I used to own the iPad 3 but I found the UI very limiting so sold it and bought a Nexus 7
I must say , the Nexus 7 the best tablet i have owned to date and it is much better than the new iPad. The iPad is a good tablet , but its not the best tablet . Its quite a massive tablet and pretty heavy.Sure the display is great and there is a healthy ecosystem of optimized apps but other than those 2 reason , I cant really find a compelling reason to buy the iPad and honestly , your better off with an Android tablet.
