New IPAD 64gb

Got myself a "NEW IPAD" ( did not say IPAD 3 because its not the correct nomenclature/name)
Day one - Happy Birthday to me, now you know why the IPAD is in my hands.
The monstrosity, ooohhhhh , "how did i exists without one of these technical gadgets in my hands before" feeling set in instantly.


I shall  answer that question , simple because i carry with me 2 mobile handsets ( one official  , other blackberry personal). Thought i should mention, most readers would say "shouldnt it be other wise?" Blackberry should be official?  eeh hee hee, ( yes the first word is my surprising " eh!!") I did not want one then, and i was a windows fan. 

Now onto the  Day 1 memories again :-
Did research on pricing, we are all onto a bigger better deal  sometimes or the other. So i did more than basic fact finding and after a lot of hunting in the dark, found that small stores offer a better pricing than the "Authorised Resellers". Ummmm why would i buy from a "reseller"? My work has facilitated my brain to think, there has to be a seller not a reseller. LOL , i know, im crazy talking some  blasphemy like this, read on...
Found a store known to me , since years for  its great pricing and volume business, Had to drive  there, and this is what i faced to get my hands on a discounted ( I paid nearly 10% or something closeby ) to buy it. I had to be wriggling and justling my arms against a pretty & gentle scented goddess of a teenager, ( hmmm, hmmm, hmmmm ) a giant armed man with 2 bags in his hands about to bang into my legs, a cute small child wearing a Tshirt that said "i'm Naughty" ( didnt notice the slender lady who was carrying her) , few extremely fat ladies and their husbands ( imagine their mouths filled with some chewing tobacco type substance ) most of them enquiring about /jostling for the latest mobile handsets. 
I did hear someone ask for Apple Iphone 5. LOL its officially not launched in India as yet.But yet they enquired, Suddenly my eyes fell upon my order, a  64 GbB WIFI/4G model.
With the money i saved as discount, i bought a camera connection kit and original ipad cover - green in color. Now finally "the beast". 

Note to readers:- I use this term for all my purchases
Example:- 
My first ever stereo set Kenwood - 959 - " Beast "
My first car Maruti 1000 - "The beast" 
Second car Maruti Estillo Zen  - Da Beast"
Acer laptop 5740G - "Beast"
2 TB External Hard Drive - "Beast"
Blackberry 9860 3G mobile handset -" Beast "
Apple NEW IPAD 4G & WIFI 64 GB - "Beast"
Next purchase -  "Beast"

Day 1 - unboxed the ipad, set basic settings, When you buy it, you have to register the piece, which was easy , very easy,
It was very easy and simple to pair it with my Blackberry 9860's hotspot and used the internet over wifi.

Next day Took it to office, "Go Green ", same evening , visited vodafone, ( horrible customer service and useless documentation procedure for an existing client,  but good speeds on 3G. Got myself a the basic cheapest  prepaid plan (Now I cannot trust them after my blackberry incident with them which still makes me pay around Rs:900 + rupees per month) -Separate incident posted before.

Promises of activation , s ame day, /next day, /call us, blah blah blu blu, " mental note to self was " please let me get away from here".
