Question: how old is this model
Document: Get the newest version instead of this iPad. It doesn't have a camera and you can't download a lot of apps because you need to download the ios7 update but, you can't since this is an old model and it can't be updated after 5.1.
My husband is delighted with this I-pad I gave him as birthday present. He is using it several hours a day.I was afraid that, being an "old" model (since it's the first generation), it would not live up to his expectations, but I think it overpassed them.
I decided to use this as a viewer for photos for my photography business. It works great for this purpose, only problem is that the software for a lot of the new apps isn't supported on this old model. So when I tried to put iPhoto on it, no luck which was disappointing but I have found ways around it.
Since then I bring it to court in lieu of my laptop. Unlike my old Tablet PC, 3G gives me constant and immediate Internet access. And that is the principal reason to opt for the 3G over the WiFi only iPad. Many courthouses do not have hotspots. If you don't need Internet wherever you are, then the other model may be enough.As to storage, more memory  is better. You are going to want to load, movies, music and photos on it. 32GB is not enough.
I purchased the 1st gen iPad a few months after it was released back in 2010. My oldest has been using it for 1st grade. I decided to purchase another 1st gen a month ago for our youngest who will be starting Kindergarten. I could have purchased a 3rd or 4th gen model, but I wanted to save money. Besides, the graphics and display and processing speed are plenty fine for a 5 yr old and his learning/education apps.
I had the small Kindle; returned because I read fast enuf was changing pages 3 to 4 times a minute. Got the big K2. Loved it and still have it. Got the iPad as soon as the 3G 64GB model was available. Later I got the big new Kindle - much better than the old - so I have all 3 - 2 big Kindles and the iPad. Have used the iPad for several months.It has great potential but one very great weakness.
It's replacement for the same model my daughter already had. She already knew how to operate it and she reinstalled her  apps.
