The Apple iPad 2 Wi-Fi is the same product as the 3G-enabled version except for the fact that your access to the internet is limited to areas with Wi-Fi. If you can live without the wider coverage offered by 3G and limit tasks that require internet connectivity to hotspots, this is the one to get.

To say Apple's iPad 2 is an easy tablet to review is somewhat of an understatement. The device, a follow up to last year's wildly successful (and currently market-defining) iPad, is nearly identical when it comes to software, and though improved, closely related on the hardware side as well.

Amazingly thin; Extremely fast; Cameras finally added

Camera quality is poor; Screen resolution could be higher; OS still has rough edges

I used this for the first time. I was amazed, I am definatly going to guy one. I love that it is so versitle, especially the large screen to read my books.... love it love it!!!!

tools ; games ; speaker ; Wi-Fi capable ; durable ; ease of use

battery life

The day we got the iPad 2 delivered for testing was not just a normal day as spookily it happened to coincide with the passing away of its creator Steve Jobs . In some ways this helped us to focus on why the tablet has proven so popular and its not hard to see why, as there is something special...

UPDATE 27/10/2011: upgrading to Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 5, brings significant changes to the iPad 2 that directly affect the user experience.

Design / Finish / Handling / iCloud; High-quality screen: responsive and highly contrasted; Battery life / Fast web browsing / Notification Centre; General responsiveness / User-friendly interface; Great choice of apps in the App Store / Wireless sync to iTunes

Poor-quality camera; No built-in SD card reader (optional adapter only) / No USB port / Single proprietary connection; No Flash compatibility for web browsing; Can't play DivX files without a special app or file conversion; iCloud can be intrusive in its interaction with other iDevices

At an MRP ranging from Rs. 29,500 for the 16 GB model, to 46,900 for the 64 GB model with 3G support, the iPad 2 is only slightly costlier than its predecessor, but more expensive than any other tablet on the market.

Smooth interface; Speedy performance; Healthy app ecosystem

Pricey; Unsatisfactory HD upscaling

If you want to use GPS and any apps that use GPS, make sure you get the iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G.

I love my iPad. But I also have the iPod touch. But I feel the two have a lot of similarities, what I find better about the iPad is watching tv catchup. Cos of the bigger screen. There is also iPads range of apps, though apps for iPod can also be used on iPad.

This gadget is INCREDIBLE. An ultra portable laptop and total media centre. Raid your piggy bank and go and buy one right now. My advice is to buy the IPad with the largest amount of GB's that you can.

Imagine everything that you have heard; read or seen about this product and then multiply it

, you'd have to be deluded not to admit that Apple's equally lauded and derided tablet has changed a market more dramatically than we've seen in a long time. Apple may not be the only company making a good tablet any more, but it was certainly the first and it definitely takes credit for opening up...

Fast dual-core CPU; Lighter and Slimmer than previous iPad; iOS best tablet operating system available

Somewhat low screen resolution; 3G model is expensive; Doesn't serve any specific function
