BMRR Champion Author Maine Posts:2,715 Points:1,477,910 Joined:Oct 2007	Message Posted: Mar 31, 2013 11:16:01 AM Ignore BMRR Report Abuse Hey Sneakers55, I once saw a waterproof Bluetooth shower speaker on Amazon. I can't remember exactly what it was called, but if you search for it you could probably find it. I've been thinking about getting one of those for my bathroom. Like yourself, I prefer to have musical accompaniment with my showers. :) Edit: found the speaker.

I bought my iPad 64GB AT&T - 3rd Generation from Brandsmart for $599. It would have been $829 from the Apple Store for a 4th Gen. I also selected the third generation because I have many accessories for the 30 pin connector but the BIG $$$ savings were another plus.

I found a fifth difference: the speaker is louder than previous generations. This afternoon was the first time I showered while listening to the fourth-generation iPad. I put it close to the shower (there's a clothes closet next to my shower, I figure my iPad will stay dry there if I don't touch it, and so far it has) and I used to turn on my iPad, hop in the shower, hop out of the shower, dry off, and only then touch the iPad. It usually takes me about 25 minutes from the time I start until the time I stop. I usually listen to something fairly consistently loud. Anyway, the first time I ever was able to hear the iPad over the shower while I was actually in the shower with the water running was today.

Why would anyone have a camera with a disc without a computer? Go buy a good used MacBook Pro. It will save you a lot of frustration.

I don't know if that will be enough to turn the deal for you. There are also third-party sellers that sell gently used iDevices.

(It's the processor, front camera and connector) That was the case when it was first introduced, but there's now a fourth difference: the ability to get 128 GB of storage. It makes a difference for those of us who have a big music collection and don't want to be dependent on iCloud sending your music over cellular data. So far, cellular data is pricy but with LTE at least it's not slow any more.

If you live in an area where LTE 4G has been deployed, then the faster data rate may be an attractive factor in your decision to switch. If you want a higher resolution camera, the new iPad has that. (though I think you'll look like a dork using the iPad as a camera) If you want a faster processor, the new iPad has that.
