no

no

I guess they want you to rely on "cloud" based services if you want over the included 16Gb. This is still a fine tablet and it would function well as media player but in that role folks would want to shuffle in SD cards containing movies as a mobile DVD player function..

Jailbroken + iFile + "camera connection kit" (or probably the <$5 chinese knockoffs) will let you play movies from SD cards.

A $199 used iPad1 16GB WiFi from cowboom will likely do just as well for movies though.

Sure, for "real" iOS use, I would get an iPad2 or iPad3 to get the dual-core CPU and more RAM, though it's pretty tough to pass up an iPad1 for <$200 IMO. Then again for "real" iOS use, I wouldn't get less than 64GB either.... and of course the cellular data option if only to get the GPS function with that.... which puts you d@mn near $1K into one. Thus I snagged the iPad1 3G+WiFi 16GB when cowboom had those at $199 or $189 or whatever the deal-of-the-day was a month or so back. Darn nice little box at $200 though!

Meh, I'd say it's "OK" for $199 but with the blazing speed SOC's are being developed at that A4 will be a fossil in 5 months, it's the nature of the beast so they say. The $137 I spent for the Novo 7 advanced and it's A10/MALI-400 gpu I bought last October can now buy a dual-core SOC that will kick mine's ass..

10" screen and enough horsepower to run movies. It's all in what one wants to do.
Not intended as a slam or threadcrap. Arguably one shouldnt buy even iPad2 cuz retina display will become new minimum.... But that doesn't hit everyone's area of concern so still a reasonable deal. otherwise you're back at the $1k scenario

How much is the difference between 16G iPad and 32G iPad?
How much is 16G SD card?
Now you know why iPad or whatever does not have SD slot!!!!

I bit. Got one for my wife as a belated mothers day present. Got an additional 5% off by going through Discover. Good deal.

i got a NEW Ipad 2 for $337 at Microcenter with a printable coupon, got to be one of the best deals out there. They often have open box unit for $305.

Decided it's time I learned apple products, know windows, android and some Linux but zero experience with that OS until now. Looking forward to jail-breaking it and adding Siri to the Ipad 2.
