iPad 4the Gen will come soon!

Sampat Jana (Nov 1, 2012) on Flipkart

Since Apple doesn't consider India as it's primary market so it may take a month or two to launch ipad4 in India. But i am positive it will launch soon!! I personally use an iPad 3rd Gen, and it's great...:)

Worth the Amount

Sagar (Dec 1, 2012) on Flipkart

Flipkart deleted my earlier comment saying need to be Product based review only. PRONS: - Branded and upgrade-able to iOS 6. - All POSITIVE so far CONS: - You get only 12GB not 16GB :( So go for 32GB. - Need to purchase CASE separately. I bought 360 degree rotational TARGUS costing 3,000 INR

Very Good Buy!! Kudos to Apple... :)

Subramaniam J (Feb 1, 2013) on Flipkart

Pros - Excellent Display - Excellent Battery Life - Good Camera - Ease of Use - etc etc... phew..there are a lot of good ones.. limiting to these Cons - Bit tough to manage apps using itunes. Apple can make the usability of itunes better - Most of "The best" apps cost close to $5- $10. Can be a bit costly. On a whole, a good product to have in hand, though Apple products are a bit on the expensive side, the usability counts for the price. Must buy!! Thanks,
