Patty: No, but my son has mentioned we would need to get one.

He can set it up.

Jessica: The reason I ask is because there are two different types

of iPads. There’s one just with Wi-Fi to connect to a wireless
Internet connection, whether it be through your home network

or free at a Starbucks or any place with Wi-Fi. But there’s also
the iPad with Wi-Fi plus 3G. What the 3G capability allows you

to do is connect to the Internet anywhere.

Patty: He might like that. He’s a photographer who wants to go
to conventions and show his photos.

Jessica: If he’s traveling, 3G is great because he’ll be connected to
the Internet via cell signal. From there you have to think about
the storage capacity, the amount of space you have on the device,

the amount of things you can store. Pictures take up a lot of

storage. Music, movies, all take up storage. Our base model is 16
gigabytes of capacity. That will store an average of a few

thousand songs. A full-length HD movie takes up about 2 to 3
gigs so it’s already taking up storage.

Patty: I don’t think he’ll watch movies. It’s more about the

photos.

Jessica: Gotcha. Then you’ll want to consider either the 16 GB
or the 32 GB model. The 32 GB might be best because it offers

the extra storage. There is no way to increase the amount of

storage built into the device. I recommend shooting high so he
has the extra room for his photographs.

Patty: So what was the one that’s always connected?
