Yes, bringing this back on topic, you nailed it. It's all about the specs.  I 
went Retina iPad do to the A6X processor and the improved wireless.  I went 
with the AT&T version because of the $10 add a tablet deal they have which I 
think is great.  I wouldn't pay $35+ monthly for data on my tablet but $10 is 
more than reasonable.  So my decision was made purely on the specs of the 
hardware.

As for the iPad in general, George is responding to old comments I made about 2 
- 3 years ago where I questioned the usefulness of the iPad.  Back then I 
didn't feel it had much power and it felt just like a giant iPod that was 
harder to use because of screen size.  Other than looking impressive I didn't 
find it useful.  I've since revised my opinion.  There's enough power now and 
the wireless options make the iPad a very good tool.

check the specifications of the retina model against the previous generation 
system. not only that, the huge hint is the storage capacity. 128gb storage on 
an ipad, that's basically like buying a macbook air but cheaper and no 
keyboard. I have used ipads and love them as a blind engineer  / restorer. I'd 
happily own one full time so that I have a system  for on site comms, etc. the 
whole point of the ipad as you should know is that voiceover opens up the whole 
premise of a touch environment.

they don't come as options with or without retina displays in relation to the 
processor matches, etc. so basically if you're a power user like some of us 
here, then the retina model is the way forward regardless of the fact of the 
display itself.

a iPad is to pick up chicks at a local starbucks???
