Thanks Chris! I'm still pretty excited to have gotten an iPad 1 with 3G for just $120 bucks!

The bright spot on the iPad 1 is it happens to be serviceable, unlike the iPad 2 and 3.

Before I bought it...I was concerned that maybe the battery wouldn't be in very good "health". So I checked iFixit.com for the iPad 1 battery replacement procedure...which of course did show that the iPad 1 was serviceable. I didn't realize that the iPad 2 or 3 was a lot harder to open.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if someone hacked it to run iOS 6. Given that the iPhone 4 can, and the iPad 1 is pretty much equivalent spec-wise, it seems like a very artificial limitation.

This would be pretty cool. I'll have to keep my eyes open to see if someone figures out how to do it.
