It will, but it's not something you'd need to worry about. How we not told you there was an update, you probably would not have ever noticed anything really all that different. Frankly, if you're thinking about an IPad, I'd say go for it! I'm gonna let it come down a bit in price, but once it does, I might get one. I'm undecided. If it's anything like the one I had that I generously gave my aunt, I definitely would say it will be worth it. Chris, who's kicking himself something fierce for giving that thing away! ----- Original Message ----- From: Catnip To: mac4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2012 3:41 PM Subject: [mac4theblind] Re: IOS 5.1: I am hating! what I'm seeing! So is this something that will also affect the new I pad? I'm THINKING about getting one. Just can't decide if I can justify it. Do any of you know anything more about the new I pad than what we've heard? Something about much higher priced ones that have satelite access. I don't quite understand this as there is no PHONE involved with the I pad so why would it need satellite access? Also I heard SIRI is on the new one. Does anyone know if this is for the basic new I pad or only those more expensive models? Thanks. People who hate cats will come back as mice!
