Very Good Buy!! Kudos to Apple... :)Subramaniam J (Feb 1, 2013) on FlipkartPros - Excellent Display - Excellent Battery Life - Good Camera - Ease of Use - etc etc... phew..there are a lot of good ones.. limiting to these Cons - Bit tough to manage apps using itunes. Apple can make the usability of itunes better - Most of "The best" apps cost close to $5- $10. Can be a bit costly. On a whole, a good product to have in hand, though Apple products are a bit on the expensive side, the usability counts for the price. Must buy!! Thanks,Is this review helpful?
