The only way to get your hands on the hottest new tablet in town on day one was to line up at an Apple outlet and try to get one before they inevitably sold out their first shipment.

If you already own the original iPad there's little reason to splurge on the latest. While the cameras bring new functionality, the results as far as the rear camera is concerned, are basic.

More horsepower under the hood; slightly lighter; looks and feels great; battery life is still brilliant

Rear-facing camera offers basic results

The ipad 2 is an easy to use product. The initial set up is easy and straight forward with good support through iTunes. The iCloud backup is very nice in case you need to replace your devise and want to restore your information.

functional layout good battery life

I got this iPad a year ago .Till now no complaints. I have it my kitchen always, to check recepies,do banking,book tickets all in one click. We take it wherever we go out for checking mails and we take pictures with this which has a very good clarity..

The OS gets updated automatically ; It has a great battery life

i see no cons in this iPad..enjoying it

What fun, I love it.... Easy to use and can do so much. The only down fall is it is not Data capable, which is huge for me. Other than that it is flawless...

I would like to have an Ipad because it will be a great tablet since ios is the best operating system yet, with lots of apps. furthermore, it will be a great tool for business since it has great apps that anyone can use them for spreadsheets, words etc.

smooth and light

battery life for Ipad "3" is not as good as Ipad 2

The iPad is FAB. It's easy to use and entertaining in every aspect you can think of. But, there are problems : it is very expensive, and if you hold it with no support, it kills your arm. But if not, as I said, FAB.

The Good Much faster in some areas. Thinner and lighter. Huge, intuitive app library. Smart Covers are slick. iMovie and GarageBand are killer apps. Dual cameras add functionality. Still excellent battery life. Tough-to-beat price. The Bad Not night-and-day better for some iPad owners.

Not night-and-day better for some iPad owners; Cameras are sub-par by Apple standards; Android sometimes more powerful and open; Smart Cover doesn't guard the back; Still the same 1024x768 display

: Speedier and more streamlined than its predecessor, the iPad 2 is a wonderfully sleek next-gen device – which makes the lack of Flash video, and that clunky iTunes software even more noticeable.

: Very sleek and stylish; lots of iPad apps; especially new media and magazines; video calling facilities

: The omission of Flash video is a big issue; iTunes is dated and it's hard to transfer data without iTunes

We're enjoying it, the kids love to play their games on it. We bought it for trips so we don't have to bring the laptop and so far, it's perfect for that. My only complaint is I should've bought the 32GB. I wish Apple would let you expand but alas, they don't.
