[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1565914, member: 234411"] Concerning which iPad to buy is a personal decision, so difficult to advise - you need to visit an Apple Store or an authorized Apple Dealer and 'handle' the newest models, i.e. iPad Air & the iPad Mini - the main difference is their screen size; if you plan to do a LOT of reading, then the larger screen may be your preference; if you want a smaller footprint while traveling then the Mini might be your best choice - so, try before purchasing. Now if you want an internet connection no matter where you are located, then an iPad w/ a cellular capability would be needed - again, you'll have to decide which company and paid plan best suits your needs; another consideration is [I]Mi-Fi[/I] - basically a small box that connects via a cellular signal and sets up its own Wi-Fi hotspot (one example [URL="http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/explore/mobile-hotspots.html"]HERE[/URL]) - some of these are 'pay as you go', so might be a consideration? Good luck and let us know if you have other questions - also checkout [URL="http://www.apple.com/ipad/compare/"]iPad Comparative Specs[/URL] - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
