Continues getting better
I upgraded from my 2nd generation iPad. One too many updates for the old iPad. The iPad Air 2 is fluid and fast. Much thinner and lighter than previous models.

Apple IPad Air 2
As a former owner /user of Apple's iPad 2 (A5 Arm Processor), this upgrade is worth it for a number of reasons including
1) the new A8 processor is noticeably faster, especially on video and graphics intensive streaming websites (ie: CNBC App)
2) noticeably lighter and thinner in your hands (buy a protective Smart Cover / case (ie: from eBay, etc)
3) supports Siri (note: Apple did not support Siri on iPad2.. Probably to motivate people, like me, to upgrade ;-)
4) bonus: IOS 8.1.2 on an iPhone + iPad supports integrated SMS texting. As long as your iPad is on the same wifi network, your iPad can send and receive SMS text messages (using your iPhone also on iOS 8.1.2). Additionally, your iPad can send and receive phone calls, again, provided you have enabled this feature on your iPhone with iOS 8.1.2 and both are on the same wifi network (ie: in your home or office).
5) new finger print sensor, capable of supporting up to 5 different finger prints (ie: from the same or multiple people) is a secure time saver, especially useful when unlocking your iPad Air 2 or purchasing an app from Apple's AppStore.
6) don't even think about getting the 16GB version. Minimum usable size = 64GB
7) new 802.11ac wifi support (not available on other iPad models) enables much faster download bandwidth. Based on Comcast / Xfinity Boost wifi service + 802.11ac enabled router, I get download speeds in excess of 125Mbps and upload speeds in excess of 15Mbps supporting smooth video streaming especially when you have a household of streaming devices.
Recommendation: although iOS 8.1.2 can be jailbroken, I have found it is not a good idea for a couple of reasons including
1) jailbraking the iOS often disables certain Apps (ie: streaming apps in particular, like TiVo and CNBC) from operating correctly.
2) jailbraking undermines the security that Apple has incorporated into the iOS. With such things as one-touch finger print security, iPad unlock and Apple Pay now supported, why would you want to undermine security by installing software that hasn't been verified by Apple on your brand new iPad Air 2?

Best tablet available
I got a good trade in from Best Buy on my gen 3 and upgraded to the latest and greatest - better, faster, smaller, lighter. The most impressive thing so far was how fast and easy it was to recover all my settings, data, apps, etc. during the setup. Everything went flawlessly. All my old apps were even placed in the exact same locations.
