FaceTime is proprietary for Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac). The equivalent on the Nexus 7 is Google Hangouts, which, unlike Apple, can be used across various platforms (Chrome, Android, Windows, Mac, Ubuntu/Debian). Third party options include Tango, Skype, and Viber.

Wifi is free but if you want 3G you have to pay at AT&T.

it was a plan by Apple inc. the base plan was made in california,but the iPad was assembled in china because the parts needed were in china.

You can't at the moment, but, Apple is planning to release yet another version of the iPad. The newer one will have 3G and can act as a large phone. To use the feature, you will have to pay around $30 dollars a month. My dad asked a person from Best Buy who confirmed this. Also, the person said it would cost $100 dollars more than the iPad's current price.

Only with a data plan. When you buy one on apple. They don't MAKe you sign up. It's capable and you don't sign a contract you configure the data plan on your iPad

No it does not. The kindle connects to Sprint's 3G network. If you have the new Kindle Fire, you can connect to wireless internet by tapping on the gear logo in the top right of the screen, selecting wifi, then clicking on your own or an open WiFi network and entering the network passphrase.

Yes there is! There is an alarm clock! If you like, go to clock, then press the symbol (which is an alarm clock, then click the addition sign put in your settings (e.g time) and click Done.

You may have turned the iPad in such a way as to block the WiFi signal, or placed your hand over the antenna area. If you are located at the outer fringe of your WiFi reception area, you will have to be careful how you hold your iPad.

no there not there more of personal organsers. stands for "personal digital assistant"

I am asking the exact same question... Since Samsung IS a phone company, with the monthly bills of phones people have to go through I, myself, say that you DO have to pay a mothly fee, but then again I am unsure... XD

The iPad has a microphone built in (next to the headphones socket). Some Bluetooth microphones can be connected to the iPad device wirelessly but not all of them will work. Headsets (combined headphones and microphones) are also available for the iPad.

In certain circumstances the Attorney General can order a wiretap without a court order. In other scenarios in the US, under the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) approval can be granted for wiretaps from the US FIC court with secret proceedings.

Go to the stores that are like the illegal kiosks that sell cases and they unlock iPhone or try and buy it online. It's called iNormagravfree. It's normally $129.99 . What you do is you but you open the cover of iNormagravfree and stick your iPod in it face up and then close it and then choose your iPod model and then turn it on. Wait 5 minutes and open the cover take your iPod and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then you can look at the back of your iPod. You will see the engraving is gone but also the apple logo and all the writing on the back is gone and it's basically a mirror. What iNormagravfree does is that it melts the first layer of the back chrome. You can leave it with out the words but remember a layer was pulled off and if you press it hard it will dent but that's not what you supposed to do. You are supposed to wait 10 minutes (as I said before) and then but your iPod back in there. Press the flashing green button that says FINISH JOB. Now what it will do is the part that melted will go back on to the iPod. The melted part did turn in to a liquid so it loses all the writing and everything. After the layer is but back on, it reshines the layer until it's a mirror. When that is done it freezes it. After that it stamps on the original writing (apple logo, serial number) without the ingraving! It gets you serial number from you old backing because before it melted off the first layer, it took a picture of the back of your iPod.

1. Sync your iPad with iTunes or iCloud. My preference is iTunes, because you can sync with a local computer through a cable and not have to worry about communication problems throught WiFi or 3G.
2. Plug the iPad into your computer. Wait for the computer to recognize your iPad and load iTunes. Wait for iTunes to complete the Syncing process -- sometimes seven steps.
3. Backup your iPad. Click the Back Up Now button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
4. Restore your iPad. After the backup is complete, click on the Restore Backup... button in iTunes. When prompted, select "restore from a backup." Follow the instructions to restore the backup you just made.
5. Sync the iPad with the Computer. After the backup is restored to your iPad, click the Sync button in iTunes. This will ensure all the apps, music, etc. is restored to your device.
6. Watch you iPad restart. Disconnect your iPad from the computer and wait for it to restart. In a few minutes, your device will restart, and your apps, settings, and other data (like contacts and music) will be restored.
7. Smile. Your jailbeak is now unbroken and your iPad is back to its original jailed state.

The answer is dependent upon what you intend to use it for.

For example:

The iPad supports Wireless-N technology while the iPhone supports up to Wireless-G.

The iPad supports up to a 64 gig flash drive while the iPhone supports up to 32 gigs.

While this may seem like the iPad is technologically superior, and technically it is, it may simply be a factor that the iPad has more room to put this technology into the space it provides as compared to the iPhone/iPod touch.

But then again maybe it's not, and they're saving this for the next generation of the iPhone. It's impossible to tell with Apple, which is why the rumor mill always churns at full speed with this company due to their secrecy. But to be honest, my iPhone doesn't need to connect at wireless-N speeds. If I needed something with that much speed, I'd own a laptop and a 4G wireless card.

One thing I'd consider an upgrade personally is that there is no proximity sensor in the iPad. I've lost count how many times I've hit the 'home' button on my iPhone only to have it open an icon on my bottom menu because my knuckle was near the screen, without actually touching it.

All in all, if you need a "light computer" go with the iPad, if you MUST select an Apple product. Otherwise, the iPhone/iPod touch should work for you fine.

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the i pad you cant get on anything flash (no facebook) you cant open or have anything .jpg (most pictures, songs, documents) you cant multitask (having to things open at once, so you have to completely shut off the internet to open a picture) for reading books on the iPad, you have to have PERFECT lighting or the glossy screen will make it nearly impossible. They say the battery lasts up to 10 hours, which would be great if you could buy a replacement battery so that you wouldn't have to wait 12 hours for it to charge! So, the iPad is pretty much just a big iPod touch with less functionality!! NOT worth the money!

Apple products don't support flash because that's Apple's decision. Steve Jobs himself claimed that flash was 'too buggy' and therefore wouldn't support it on an Apple platform, so regardless of what you choose, you won't get flash. You simply get facebook on the iPhone/iPod touch because, pardon the cliche, 'there's an app for that.'

Personally, for the price, I'd just buy a laptop. Why spend 700 bucks for a 64 gig iPad with limited capability when you can buy a full-on Windows 7 laptop like mine for 100 bucks more that supports blu-ray playback, a 17.5" screen, a far larger hard drive, etc?

While I think Apple hit a home run with the iPhone (I LOVE mine, and how many 'iPhone killers' have come and gone?), however, I see the iPad being as big a flop as AppleTV.

It really depends. The iPod Touch is way more convenient if you are constantly on the go or use it in the car, away from home, on airplanes, etc. It also charges faster and is (obviously) less bulky.

The iPad is good for if you want to read, play games while looking at details (doodleBuddy would be fun on an iPad) and have a way easier keyboard. However, it would be really bulky in say the car, would break easily, considering its size and weight bc ppl would drop it. Also if you brought it on an airplane ppl would steal it while you were in the lavatory, basically guaranteed. And it charges way slow and would be hard to play games like DoodleJump and CatchTheEgg on. But Cupcakes! would be fun. ;] so I guess it really depends on your taste and what your gonna use it for.

you guys are all wrong the iPad is better because you can do more things than an iPod touch can. but my friend always says they are technically the same thing because it's like the iPod is a cheaper and miniature iPad. but i choose iPad

No. The iPad's memory is non-removable, and not accessible by the end-user (without physically tearing the entire device apart, and then ripping it from the logic board).

You can simulate extra memory by using various cloud services (e.g., Dropbox, Box.net, iDrive), but ultimately anything you use will have to be transferred to your local iPad's memory to be worked on or viewed.

You use the volume control buttons located on the right hand side of your iPad.

Computer science is the study of computers, how they work, and how to best utilize them to meet some end. Most, if not all, of the software that runs on your computer is made by computer scientists.

Yes, but if you use an iPad running iOS 8.0, you can't use the download feature on Netflix. Because Netflix only supports iPad running iOS 9.0 or later to use download feature. But you can use a convenient tool- NoteBurner Netflix Video Downloader. It helps you download videos to MP4 or MKV, then you can transfer them to any device regardless of whether you are using Windows, Mac or Android, iPhone.
