[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1402081, member: 56379"] Yes...Apple is pretty good about that. If two or three products are currently selling (a computer, iPhone, and iPad)...then all devices will be able to communicate between each other easily. It's only when a device is no longer being sold...or is starting to get old (3-5 years)...is when you have to start worrying. For example...now that Apple has released the iPad 3 ("New iPad")...there will be a time (in the future) when folks that own an iPad 1 will start "hitting walls" in terms of capabilities and support. Since as new iOS versions for the iPad are released, and the abilities of iPad's improve (processing power, graphics, internal memory, etc.)...with newer releases (iPad 4, iPad 5, iPad 6, etc.)...support for older hardware will diminish. What I'm saying is...sometime in the future...an iPad 1 will be just like the Powermac G4 you bought...a real DINOSAUR!;) Remember Palm Pilots and other early PDA's from the 1990's.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
