IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE ALL ABOUT THE IPAD 2<br />

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G CDMA<br />

Music - Photo Creation + Display - Video Playback + Recording - Books - Games - Internet - FaceTime - GPS<br />

The CDMA iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G was created primarily<br />

for Verizon Wireless, a U.S. cellular carrier with a large<br />

but slow network of data towers. Thus, this iPad 2<br />

may work better in parts of the U.S. with weak AT&T<br />

coverage, including rural and congested metro areas;<br />

elsewhere, expect AT&T’s service to be twice as fast. Like<br />

the GSM version, this model has GPS hardware inside<br />

for real-time mapping, though its incompatibility with<br />

GSM cellular networks in other countries reduces its<br />

value when traveling outside the United States. You may<br />

need to purchase a third-party map application that<br />

doesn’t require cellular access when used overseas.<br />

Recommended<br />

Apart from two differences - CDMA hardware and the<br />

absence of a SIM card tray - the CDMA version of the<br />

iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G is otherwise virtually identical to<br />

the GSM version. Our tests showed that the GSM version<br />

achieved Apple’s promised 9 hours of 3G web browsing;<br />

the CDMA version fell short by only 20 minutes. If you<br />

live in or visit places where AT&T falls short, consider it.<br />
