In some ways, this new edition of the iPad is a subtle refinement, in other ways a drastic expansion of its functionality and its very intent, allowing us to create and communicate with technology which simply was not available in the initial effort.

Sleeker than ever; Enhanced feature set including two (!) new cameras; Blazing-fast processor

Still no Flash video support; Charging still slow; still can't be performed via connection to computer

Nice little PC substitute with great portability options along with limits.... a great answer if you have portability questions! Excellent value for money!

The Apple iPad 2 first launched in 2011, and, despite all odds, managed to stay on sale among Apple's iPad line-up until 2014, outlasting the iPad 3 and

I was very please it looks like a brand new purchase.

What a awful product, honestly I did not think apple products could become any more malicious but then they keep expanding use of Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). To my dismay the DRM forces users to receive 100% of their software from Apple or Apple authorized sources.

The Apple iPad lacked some features such as the camera and the heavy weight. This all gets fixed in the second generation. The iPad 2 is the new improved iPad by Apple . The only thing I find that hasn't improved is the price. I have to say that the price is higher than before.

Other than improved JavaScript performance, surfing the web on the iPad 2 feels pretty much identical to the original tablet. And that's not a bad thing. Scrolling and zooming is still silky smooth.

UPDATE (Jan 2015) : I no longer own this iPad, but it is still in use by one of my family members. As a matter of fact, my husband, daughter, and I have all owned the original iPads, iPad 2s, iPad 3s, iPad Airs, iPad minis, and iPad mini with Retina display.

Slimmer and lighter than original iPad; Faster than original iPad and other tablets currently on the market; Many configurations available; so you can choose the storage and connectivity you need; Lowest tablet prices currently on the market

Low-res cameras; iPad 2 is difficult to use as a hand-held camera because of its size and weight and the placement of the shutter button

Apple discontinued the iPad 3 because it replaced it with the iPad 4. However, you can still pick it up second hand or refurbished so we've compared it to the still available iPad 2. Here's our iPad 2 vs iPad 3 comparison review.

Apple calls it the "amazing" tablet that's hard to put down. The iPad 2 has finally come to Canada with new features and a new design. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new tablet a few days before launch courtesy of Apple.

Beautiful design; Same easy to use interface; Faster Processor; Faster Graphics; Two cameras; 10 hour battery life

Camera quality is poor
