How I have gone without an iPad for so long I'll never know.... I got mine in April of 2013 with Retina display and am now officially addicted. The graphics are outstanding, the ease of use and the user intuitive apps that are available are awesome. Being a PC guy this has been a bit of a learning curve but it comes so easily that I have had not problem adjusting to it. I have downloaded several that are a necessity for my business including Open Home Pro. I have used it for several open houses now and the customers as well as the sellers of the homes are quite impressed with me and my technical proficiency that this allows for everyone who comes to my open houses now. I cannot sing enough praises for this little toy which it really isn't for me anymore. It is a wonderful tool for more productivity and saves me time and money each and every day. Kudos to Apple from me. You have found a new convert. I am now considering going up to the new Air ipad but I can't see the need to upgrade yet. I am happy with what I have and will live with it for a long time I feel.
