Please bear with me... I know nothing about the iPad. Yet <G>
I'm thinking about buying an iPad but my primary reason is Wi-Fi use, not 3G. I'm also retired and on a fixed income.
How much battery power time are you folks seeing with your iPads? Does the iPad's memory have an effect on battery drain or just Wi-Fi usage time? 3G? I'm looking at using it at Wi-Fi spots around town (Starbucks, Borders, etc.) reading periodicals, email, etc.
The jury's still out whether or not I would need 3G. Of course, I could buy a 3G unit and decide later if I want the data plan. Is that my "safest" avenue?
Also, do you use yours on battery power until it reaches 10% or another level before a full charging?
All comments are welcome. Thanks in advance for your help and indulgence.
