Thank you, item works great. It still has your PIN required to do a full factory reset on it. If you're comfortable with sending me the PIN you used on it, I will be able to reset it. As of now, we just have to work around that. Otherwise, the unit works great! Thanks. A+++

I purchased this iPad for a client of mine. When I first received it the iPad was stuck in a boot loop. After doing a hard reset it was back to normal. For the price it's well worth it. So worth it? I got one for myself.

I've been intrigued by the iPad ever since it was first introduced some three years ago, but I had never seriously considered owning one until I bought this one. They were just too expensive and I couldn't see that they could do anything significant that a laptop couldn't do. And laptops have become very affordable in recent years. I had even resisted the idea of a smart phone, sticking steadfastly to my Motorola RAZR until almost a year and a half ago, when I opted for a Motorola Atrix 4G instead of an iPhone. My reasoning was fairly simple: The Atrix has a user replaceable battery and a slot for a micro SD card by which one can expand the internal storage capacity. Of course, it also didn't hurt that the Atrix was free and the iPod cost $99 with a two-year contract. So, even though I've been a committed Mac user for more than 20 years, I started my touch screen experience firmly in the Android camp. I continued down that path a year ago with my first tablet, a Barnes & Noble Nook Color, which I promptly rooted with a micro SD card to run the full Android OS instead of B&N's severely locked down version. My experience with the Nook can best be described as one of unrealized potential. Even in its unlocked state, it was a good e-book reader, but not good for much else. Enter the iPad. I was looking to graduate from the Nook to a more 'grown-up' Android tablet when I came across an eBay deal I simply couldn't ignore: a 64GB Wi-Fi iPad for less than $200 with free shipping. After some brief deliberation, I decided to take the plunge on that deal and I haven't looked back. My initial impression of the unit was that it's heavy, much heavier than the Nook. Of course, it's almost twice the Nook's size and has a metal chassis. Having never used an iOS device, I was initially disoriented because the user interface has some fundamental differences from that of Android. The most significant difference, and one that still drives me a little nuts, is the lack of a physical “back” button that moves the user back to the previous screen. This makes following a Web link from an e-mail message and then returning to e-mail a bit cumbersome because you have to go to the desktop first. That minor frustration aside, the interface is extremely intuitive, as one would expect an Apple product to be—and the iPad seems to accomplish just about all of what I have expected tablets to do from the beginning. My only remaining gripe about the iPad is that it is persnickety about chargers. Mine did not come with a charger, but I figured that not be a problem because I have an iPod, which shares the same 30-pin data/power port. Ironically, the iPod rejected that charger but would accept the Nook's charger or the one from my phone, plugged into a USB iPod plug. It makes no sense, but I'll go with what works. In the short time I've had the iPad, it's well on its way to becoming an indispensable tool. Sure, it's a first-generation model, it's comparatively heavy, it lacks a camera, and it can't run the latest iOS 6, but it's far from obsolete. Given the insane prices of new iPads, this one's a bargain for what I got.Read full review
Will the pros; it's very convenient with WiFi for checking emails, net surfing and fairly portable to take around, there is some weight to it, so I guess that's why they came out with the "Air" model, I suppose. My model is 64gigs and moves along pretty well for what it is, so I like it for what it is and I use it often daily as oppose booting up the ole PC tower, but we all know the ole PC has a hard drive,etc and we still need that till such a time. BUT this Ipad is very convenient bottom line! Cons: The battery will lose it's charge pretty quick if left on in stand-by mode, so I always turn it off completely, and that works out great, if it is bad for it I don't know. At times for some reason it will crash in Safari browser, if it just mine which I bought used or if its the browser, I don't know but it limits me to some webpage site access.Read full review
I attend Bible meetings that involve the Bible, Bible study aid publications, and a songbook. As I get older, I find that I want to carry fewer loads. Now I have downloaded all my literature, prepare it all in one place, and only carry the pad. Although it is first generation, it has 64 GB - a lot of bang for the buck! I rated it 5 out of 5 under value for money. There are things I want to do with it but haven't figured it out yet. It's okay. There are plenty of techies in my congregation who would take great pleasure in bringing me up to date. The pad is a little heavy; I'll have to figure out how to hold onto it without fear of dropping it! I was able to get a little case with handles to carry it and a stylus to execute the onscreen maneuvers. I would buy it again. I would recommend it to others.Read full review
