Apple have a strong brand. When I say strong it's more like concrete. This is a brand that shows no sign of getting dented. Signal problems being fixed by a rubber, tracking information being stored ? It's not done anything to dampen the enthusiasm of customers.

The first generation iPad started a technological revolution. Apples iPad 2 takes all that was good in the first iPad and makes it better, leaving behind the flaws and installing new hardware and software, to give the second generation iPad user a better experience.

High quality case; Good performance; Quiet and low heat emissions; Good battery life; Extensive package (Appstore; Bookstore; iTunes...; the improvement of the iPad

Still no cursor keys on the virtual keyboard; Limited connectivity; Camera module has bad quality; The Apple System (both soft- and hardware) are completely closed off

Despite its failings, we love the Apple iPad 2. The sheer quality and usability of Apples tablet makes it the choice of the field, with other products still lagging when it comes to apps, battery life or even build quality.

Without a doubt, the most impressive thing about the Apple iPad 2 is its build quality; Constructed out of a solid piece of aluminium, with a bright and vivid glass display, it's every bit the premium gadget, We also love the operating system on the Apple iPad 2.

The biggest problem with the Apple iPad 2 is its lack of ports; It's a shame that there's no USB port – making it impossible to easily hook up other devices without buying peripherals, and the need to use iTunes to copy your music across is also frustrating

The release of the iPad has resulted in a slew of competitors coming to market, but the simple truth is that none of these models have the legacy experience, apps or clout required to truly take on Apple's latest offering – the iPad 2. Here's why.

Thinner and lighter; FaceTime cameras; improved processing performace

Not much

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fast; Large Screen; Lightweight

none

If you're reading this, you're probably not one of the diehard Apple cultists who queued overnight to score the iPad 2 on launch day. Even more than its market-defining predecessor, the next-gen tablet from Cupertino was the subject of media hype, fan hysteria and in Asia, price hikes on the grey...

Incredibly sleek look and feel; video calling; tons of apps optimised for iPad; particularly magazines and new media

Lack of Flash video is galling for a media-centric device; bloated iTunes software; difficult to transfer media without iTunes

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

Got this a few months back from another website. Love: the apps designed for ios Battery back up - simply amazing Multi Touch shortcuts with the ios 5.1 - too good! My first ever Apple product and my experience so far is sure that its not going to be the last Apple product i got.

Apart from Web, browsing, checking Facebook, people maybe watch a bit of video, and that’s the lion’s share of usage already used up. For business use Web development and graphic design companies are also big on using them for customer meetings.

Faster; Lighter.

The OS is still maddeningly presumptuous about what it’ll allow.

Update : Check out our new iPad 3 review The Apple iPad 2 might be getting a little longer in the tooth, but it's still a viable option in the tablet market. Can iOS 5.1 - soon to be iOS 6 - give it a decent refresh?
