Apple® - iPad® 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G - 32GB (Verizon Wireless) - Black

I visited my local Apple Store and played with new gadget for a few hours. Very light and thin. It feels so much different from the original and is much more snappy and fast. The internet works so well and very quickly. The Smart Covers are so much fun to use and are great to protect/clean your device. They don't add any bulk or weight to it either. While the camera's are not great, they aren't terrible. Unless your a professional photographer, these camera's will work fine. The screen resolution may be the same as the original but it still amazing. I reserved this new iPad 2 (32GB, Black, Verizon 3G) at my local Best Buy and cannot wait to pick it up!

The advertising is right - once you have an iPad you will be constantly be finding new ways to use it.

Frankly, it's an Ipad. I have owned this for over a year and used it often for play (not allowed to use it at work). I primarily use this to video chat on Skype and Facetime with family, but also use it for notes and gaming. All around thus far, this has been an excellent tablet and I have chosen not to upgrade to the ipad 3. The 3g has been handy in very particular situations- apartment hunting, looking for local restaurants. You shouldn't NEED 3g unless you absolutely have to be connected to the internet for some reason at all times. Plus, this thing is pretty easy to use for beginners to the tablet industry. If you do purchase one, you will find it is much easier to find accessories. I currently have a leather case for it, along with a magnetic cover that has to be used separately. There is some pretty neat gear hitting the market for Ipads. Accessories for other units are not nearly as numerous as your options with Apple due to the gravity of the Ipad's sales. That being said, there are two things which irk me a bit about the tablet. First one being that while the screen keyboard for typing is good, it's not really great for heavy typing situations. I own the wireless apple keyboard and they make an excellent combination, except that the bluetooth is a battery eater. My jawbone that I have used to privatize skype conversations has done the same thing. Also, the non-support of flash can be a pain when you are used to using a PC. I thought I would be able to get past this initially but it can be kind of a hangup. If you are an android phone user like me, be warned that google and apple don't play nice. This is not a significant issue now but may hamper things in the future. You may want to stick to an android tablet for compatability and sync safety in the future. All around, the Ipad 2 is a great tablet, and will continue to be a useful asset in the future to me, even after the Ipad 4 and 5!

I've had my iPad 32G with Verizon 3G for a month now and am very impressed with it. It's easy to use, fast internet and has now completely replaced my home desktop computer. I gave Hughesnet the boot and cancelled my service with them. This Verizon 3G is much faster than Hughesnet. For what I do with a computer there's just no need for a home computer. I can surf, email, etc easily on the iPad and can do it from the comfort of my Lazy Boy chair rather than sitting at a desk. This iPad goes everywhere with me. The number of Apps available is mind-boggling also. I got the bluetooth wireless keyboard by Apple to go with it, making it the ultimate in convenience. I'm new to Apple/Mac but can tell you right now I'm sold on them and intend to go Mac on everything in the future eventually. I plug in my Bose headphones and I'm in heaven!

Screen is gorgeous for viewing photos. Very intuitive and user friendly. Lightweight and very portable. My favorite tool and toy. Long battery life is a definite plus.

The ipad after an update did not work anymore. I went to the store and I had a very hard time changing this product for another one. I had to go to three stores in order to to change the product. Very disappointed with the management customer services

IPAD 2 is a cool device for what it is- a highly portable screen for web, email, videos and games and probably music. Pros: Great picture quality and touch screen. Easy to setup and connect to Wi-fi networks. My model has the option for pay-as-you-go Verizon access when no wif-fi avail. Tons of apps including Netflix to entertain you. Cons: - I'm not an Apple devotee so I missed some of my Android screen functionality. (No option or menu keys or even "long press") Basically you can only select what is onscreen- so if there isn't an option or menu button that's it. (kinda like only one mouse button and no keyboard for ctrl or option buttons functionality) - Calendar does not allow using a separate calendar such as Google or Office so basically dead to me. - Screen picks up skin oil likes it's desperate for any liquid! Installing a screen protector fixed that but does dull the screen some. So nice cool light computer but I wouldnt want to write long emails or docs on it!

I purchased my iPad 2 a while back and I LOVE IT! Originally, I purchased the iPad as a mobile business tool for invoicing and other mobile business needs (i.e. Square Reader) and I love it. I docked a star on Screen Quality because I saw the new iPad yesterday and WOW what a screen! I'm going to wait until summer to upgrade though. Also, the Verizon Wireless 3G is VERY SLOW! Coming from AT&T on my iPhone my phone bests Verizon's 3G by almost 2x the speed. I'm really interested to see if the new iPad really does hold it's battery life with the 4G though. If so, you've got a winner. If you're contemplating Android or iPad, don't event think twice - I know plenty of people with the Android tablet and they spend more time googling (irony maybe) problem fixes than using their devices and many of the apps I suggest they cannot find. Hope this helps. PS: if your business requires use of a camera (i.e. mine for scanning barcodes - definitely go with the new iPad as the camera quality makes a difference - this is why many apps exclude barcode scanners for the iPad 2 - the camera quality was too poor - docked one star on features for this). I also recently went back to school and am using KNO, PDF Expert, iTunes U, Notability, and other various apps and it's been a GOD SEND for school - boosted my grades in all my classes by at least one letter grade. I would highly recommend a BAMBOO stylus for business/school use - more expensive, but definitely worth it!
