iPad 3
Although this product is a little dated as everybody knows knows by now, it has good solid construction, good screen resolution-which lends itself to taking very nice videos and pictures.
I actually bought this iPad 3 for creating and recording music. With a 30 pin to USB adapter or an iRig Pro it works well. I haven't experienced any latency when using apps like GarageBand and/or MusicStudio. I'm not sure how many tracks I will be able to record before it starts to slow down and get glitchy, but for now it works great for me to get acceptable sound quality music when coupled with the iRig Pro and travel somewhere. I very much appreciate the fact that I have an affordable 'travel workstation.'
Other than that, switching from app to app can be a little bit slow, but otherwise the speed is acceptable considering that it's the third generation of iPads and although it takes quite a while to charge, the battery life is pretty good.
Lastly, A WORD ABOUT IRIG PRO:
The iRig Pro boasts it's MIDI capabilities with iPads and other Apple devices. Unfortunately, they don't tell you that if you are using the MIDI connection wire, you WILL need a power adapter to power your keyboard. If you are using a USB connection to your iPad, you will absolutely need is 30 pin to USB adapter. You can find this and apples camera connection kit, however you can truly find one cheaper online. I bought the camera connection kit because I wanted to eliminate any possible glitches.
