Whoever keep wanting for 3rd and 4th generation iPads, they are pricier but not much features & values added. The Air ones are even more unnecessary expensive. Great quality screen and long battery life. Still update to the newest iOS versions with more cool features and designs is a plus! I have the 64gb iPad 2 so nothing to complain about the storage, too. The only thing that I don't like too much about this iPad 2 is the quality of cameras, but with this price it is good enough. Best deal for a personal iPad!

This unit is fine in general, but very, very, very slow! in loading apps or refreshing screens. I am using this for flight running pro ForeFlight with virtual flight and if there is to be a reasonable reload time, NO OTHER APPS can be running, too SLOW!

The battery typically will last about 10 hours. As for value, I would not pay full price for a new one. The functions, and features are comparable to other tablets. An as with other tablets, the software can be problematic, especially the upgrades.

Let me begin by saying that I think that the iPad is a fantastic device. I am an early adopter that has Windows, Apple, and Android products and enjoys them individually for what they are. This review is comparing the new iPad 2 to the original iPad release to help you decide if you should upgrade or try to find one of the older units on the “cheap”. The iPad 2 comes in the same memory options as the original – 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB and no external slot is available for memory cards. With all these memory options you can install tons of apps. With the dual-core in effect, you will notice a faster loading of apps, web-pages, and web based apps compared to the original. The original was not “slower”, but in comparison, you can notice a definite speed increase. I believe that web pages and web-based apps are loading faster do to increased wifi capabilities, but I am unable to test this theory. Like the original, iPad 2 is a slick device, meaning both beautiful and slippery. Looking much like the original, except now it's 10% lighter and 33% thinner. What does this mean? This unit actually becomes even more slippery when moving it around in hand. The original's had some weight behind it, good and bad (though only by a few ounces), was enough to keep it in your hands. iPad 2 is like a is beginning for a warranty for the unit because when hands become sweaty playing games or in heat, this thing could go flying out. However, the Smart Cover, is an awesome option to combat this, albeit a minimum $40 option, it is NICE! Using magnets embedded in the iPad 2, the Smart Cover clicks into place to protect the iPad screen, adds hardly any weight or bulk, and turns off the unit very “sexily”. When the Smart Cover is closed, the iPad goes to sleep automatically, and then awakens when the cover is opened. The Smart Cover can also be folded to act as a stand for typing or movie watching. The display is the same, and this is why I feel this isn’t the leap we were expecting. This does not have the Retina Display, and still boast the same specs as the original. I’m not saying that the screen is awful at all, the iPad 2's screen is still as good as the original. The iPad 2's speaker has been moved from the side to the rear. In my opinion, this may be the only negative thing that has changed with the new release. The cameras on this device actually don’t have iPhone 4's 5 MP HDR camera, iPad 2 has a .69 MP (960 x 720) rear-facing camera and a.33 MP (640 x 480) camera in front. Unfortunately, the pictures are not the best, but in defense of the device, you are probably not taking stills with this thing. The pics tend to be grainy lack pizzazz. The cameras are really for are the ability to video chat using either Apple's FaceTime or Skype. But if those upgrades aren't important to you, the original iPad at it's newly reduced price is makes for an excellent choice as well. The iPad 2 includes three major upgrades over the original iPad 1: •iPad 2 is a third thinner and a few ounces lighter than the original. It also has a slightly smaller surface area – the screen is the same 9.7 inches, but the bezel is smaller which makes it nice when you do hold this. •There is now front and back cameras, so you can use Apple's FaceTime video chatting. •Dual core processors (actually two 1 GHz processors on a chip). Other than that, the new iPad is just a slightly smaller, thinner, faster upgrade to the iPad Original. You could call this an iPad 1.4 per say.Read full review
The Apple iPad is an extraordinarily thin and light tablet with a host of interesting features, making it ideal for experiencing the digital world while on the move. The high-resolution LED-backlit screen of the Apple tablet PC produces intensely vivid and crisp images. The Apple portable PC features a display technology called in-plane switching (IPS), which ensures it has a wide viewing angle. The multi-touch screen of the Apple iPad is marvelously accurate and responsive to any tactile command. With the built-in 802.11n of the Apple tablet PC, Wi-Fi connectivity is a given - as long as you are at a hotspot. This Apple portable PC is also equipped with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR for connectivity with compatible devices and peripherals.
