My ibook G4 does things that any ipad can’t do, such as play CD’s, burn movies onto a DVD, or w/ an upgrade buy a Blue Ray burner. What ipad can do this, and it only cost me $100 on ebay? If they came with a Blue Ray burner I would definitely buy one, maybe when Apple ipad 10 it will have this feature.
