Judging from the fact that the Apple iPad tablet is now being used by all types of people in all types of environment, we can safely say that this device has many fans. We think the iPad is a genius of a device as well. Sure we have a few things to say about the many ways with which this tablet computer can be improved but generally, we are happy with Apple's first foray into portable tablet computing.

From the looks alone, the iPad tab is a definite winner. Elegant is the first word that comes to mind when we see the Apple iPad tablet. We don't even have gripes about the size. From the get go, we know that the iPad is a tablet computer and NOT a mobile phone. So yes, the size is just fine. Besides, it's the functions and fantastic features under that matter.

The fact that the iPad is compatible with just about any Apple app out there surely this is a good thing. Not that we have had the time to try out all apps available today, but we got some favorites! For now, the top apps that we enjoy wasting our time on are Photoshop Express, Angry Birds, Flipboard, and a couple of apps that bring the news right to our beautiful touchscreen tablet. Of course, the first app would be much more enjoyable if the iPad tab comes with its own camera. Incidentally, the fact that this tablet does not have a camera is perhaps our only gripe about the device. But since we hear that the upcoming model will have back and front-facing snappers, we'll happily wait for it.

So is the Apple iPad worth spending several hundred pounds for? If you are someone who needs to be in constant contact with the rest of the world all day, the iPad will be your best friend. It's the perfect device for keeping boredom at bay, accomplishing important work, and knowing what goes on around us. Yes, the £429 or £699 you're parting with to get this tablet will be money well-spent.

Apple Ipad Price 9.0 : The ipad price is very well placed considered it is the must have tablet. The 3G Option is more expensive, we feel everyone now needs wifi access so a great option is the wifi ipad and consider a mobile wifi router if you got other wifi devices, rather than the 3G ipad option.

Apple iPad Functions 9.5: This really is the cream of the crop, the apple ipad functions and ability are second to no other tablet!

Apple iPad Touch Screen Response 10: The response of the apple ipad touch screen can be summed up in one word, precise!

Apple iPad Size 10: This is the best sized and weighted tablet on the market. Email, surf websites and much more with easy. The Apple iPad size can be described as perfect!

Apple iPad Internet Speed 10: The speed of the ipad is faster than any desktops, laptops or mobile phones I have ever used to surf the web, based on this the iPad gets a huge thumbs up!

Apple iPad Internet Surfing Ability 9.5: This would have been a 10 if not for the fact of flash missing. A few important business sites I need to access use flash!

Apple iPad Email 10: Setting up email is simple and to email from the ipad is even more simple. If you use Gmail, Aol, Yahoo, Mobile.me or Live its as easy as adding your user name and password to already preloaded email software. Fantastic!

Apple iPad Appearance (cool looks) 10: Without question this is the coolest gadget of the year. Sleek, Stylish and Modern. The Apple iPad oozes quality.

Apple iPad Overall Value 9.0 : Compared to other tablets on the market the Apple iPad value is amazing. I would like to see it coming to the market closer to Entry level laptops of around £300. I do think when the iPad 2 is launched that the current model will still be available at a redued price!

Below is the current users trend for the ipad.

One of the UK networks that give you fantastic web browsing credits for the iPad is 3. The Apple iPad tablet contract plans that this service provider offers have monthly tariffs of £15 and £25. The 15-pound plan comes with 10GB of data allowance and a rolling monthly contract. If you choose the 16GB WiFi + 3G model, you will pay an upfront fee of £529. If you choose the WiFi + 3G 32GB model with this 10GB plan, your tablet fee will be £599. If you fancy the WiFi + 3G 64GB version, the upfront cost will be £699.

The 25-pound tariff offered by this carrier comes with 15GB of data allowance and a 24-month contract. The upfront costs for the WiFi + 3G 16GB, WiFi + 3G 32GB, and WiFi + 3G 64GB models are £199, £249, and £349 respectively.

On Vodafone, Apple iPad deals offered are the sim only variety. Your choices are rolling monthly plans that cost £3, £7.50, and £15 for every month that you are with the network. The cheapest tariff is a minimum fee and is more like a pay as you go deal. You will be charged £2 for every 250MB of data that you use. The plan that costs £7.50 per month has a 500MB data allowance while the 15-pound deal comes with 2GB of data.

Orange offers the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB WiFi + 3G models of the iPad as well. There are two basic monthly costs offered by the network. One is a monthly fee of £25 and the other is £27. The much cheaper deal is for existing Orange customers while the 27-pound tariff is for new subscribers. Upfront costs are £199, £249, and £349 for the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models. Data credits include 1GB anytime, 1GB quiet time, and unlimited BT Openzone WiFi access. Fair usage policies apply to the latter, of course.

T Mobile is another network with Apple iPad deals that vary for existing and new customers. The Apple iPad tablet that this carrier offers is only the 16GB WiFi + 3G type. If you are an existing T Mobile customer, your monthly cost will be £25. The Apple iPad will cost you only £99, too. This used to be £199 but the network currently offers a special price for the tablet. If you are a new T Mobile subscriber, your monthly fee will be £27. The handset fee that you need to settle will be £229. Both deals come with 1GB of data and another GB on quiet time.

The iPad all in all is just about Perfect. In our ipad review there was 4 things that we felt could be improved. 1. The power button/ navigation button is in an area where we can hit it and bounce out of a screen when gaming, reading and viewing the web. 2. The ability to show flash websites. 3. Web cam for skype etc and the addition of a digital camera. 4. More memory on the entry level model.

There are many stores today where you can get yourself a shiny and brand new iPad. If you wish to enjoy one of the sim only Apple iPad deals, much like the ones offered by Vodafone, the first step that you must take is to purchase the tablet. Prices for the WiFi model with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB memories are £439, £510, and £612 respectively. If you choose the WiFi + 3G model, the prices for the 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB versions are £541, £612, and £714. These are the prices stated by the Apple Store in the UK. The Apple iPad price plans at PC World are the same.

On HMV, you get to enjoy much cheaper prices but they only offer the WiFi model. The 16GB tablet costs £429 while the 32GB and 64GB tablets cost £499 and £599 respectively. Argos offers the same Apple iPad price plans for the WiFi model. This store has WiFi + 3G models that cost £529, £599, and £699. These are much cheaper Apple iPad deals compared to the ones offered by the Apple Store.

Getting you iPad online is simple. It will always search for available wifi as soon as you switched on your ipad. If you go for the 3G option you can opt for a broadband sim. There is also the option of mobile wifi if you have more than one wifi device such as your mobile phone this is a better option that a Broadband sim Card.
