7. What is boils down to...
Essentially, as long as your iPad is running the latest
iOS version, currently 5.1, all generations of the iPad
can do basically the same thing, run the same apps
the newer the iPad the faster, cleaner & clearer the
apps will run
Biggest difference? Camera. #1 doesn’t have any
Display, processor, size, weight, etc matter more to
media & games and personal preference than they do
to productivity apps, email, web...
12. Who owns it?
Is this your personal iPad
do you already have an iTunes account?
Is this provided by your school/district/city/state?
does your school/district/city/state have an iTunes
policy?
13. Personal device...
Set up with an iTunes account
use pre-existing account, or...
create new account if need be
14. Professional device...
You have been issued the iPad
is it pre-loaded with a school/district/city/state
iTunes account?
do you need to create an iTunes account per an
