    Great piece of technology. My one and a half year old granddaughter loves it also. Even she is adept at navigating it. Love them both!

    Great product, a lot of fun and easy to use. I love taking photos and videos, it makes the person or object easy to focus on. I take it in the car to play games and listen to music. I haven't figured everything out on it yet, with all the apps there will always be something new to learn. I bought it to replace a laptop that died. I still use a desktop for dealing with some things. Great product!

    I love my ipad2!! I use it everyday. It allows me to easily check my email, I can message my family (who have apple phones) social networking, banking , shopping, games, search the internet and much more. The only negative is my husband sometimes says I don't ever put it down! Over the past 2 years I have purchased several of these for gifts on thanksgiving day for a great holiday price!!

    I'm no techie, but I am a 20 something which means most of my life I've been messing with computers and such. There are moments the Ipad makes me feel like my mom (sorry mom). The guy at Best Buy told me the Ipad 2 was just barely slower than the newer models so unless I'm a total techie I wouldn't notice. I haven't played with the newer models but there are times when I wait and wait and finally I pull out my phone to get the info I want. Those are usually when I'm dealing with internet. If it's things stored on the ipad everything is quick. This has been very helpful with my business. I love being able to have a little computer with me all the time. When I make booking calls I can have my calendar in my lap and talk on my phone. Then my calendar syncs to my phone and computer so when I need to see my appointments but don't have an ipad nearby I'm all hooked up! Also, I really thought I would want the keyboard but I was going to wait a month or so instead of buying it all at once. It turns out the screen really isn't so difficult to type on and it's less cumbersome than having the extra piece. So all in all, I love it and highly recommend.

    I bought the iPad to FaceTime my grandchildren. But it is great for apps and games and I love checking my email with it. There is nothing faster or easier to use. It's ready to use at the push of a button. I babysit for a toddler and there are many educational apps for her to use and be entertained by. I love having an iPad.

    This is my first Apple product and I wonder why I waited so long. It was ready to use as soon as it was charged and with a little help from my daughter, I soon learned all the little tricks to get me where I wanted to go. Battery stays charged a long time and it's so easy to carry from place to place. I love my iPad!

    PThe apple representative was very knowledgeable in the product and sincere in her customer service, I was sold on the white Apple IPad 2 immediately as a impromptu gift for my mother that's been wanting one. I do not own a IPad myself but figured I could get it for my mom so she could get more tech savvy. My mother has never used a portable electronic device such as a iPad, tablet or any e-reader. Nor any Apple product for that matter. She loves how easy it is for her to access emails, FaceTime or Skype, web browse information without lugging around such a huge device such as her Toshiba 15' laptop that is less than 2 years old. She was soo impressed and happy with the IPad 2, she has recently purchased a white Apple iphone 5 also.

    I think this is a great tablet. the portability is fantastic, after purchasing, i now wish i would have got the 3g since i need to purchase a package with my iphone to set up a mobile hotspot (att doesn't allow me to use the unlimited data package with mobile hot spot). The screen is great, not need for retina display unless viewing the two models side by side! my biggest complaint is more with the applications than the device itself. several applications that have been purchased for the iphone require repurchasing on the ipad (different formatted apps). overall, i love the ipad, it was a great purchase, I will consider purchasing a second so my wife and i each have one to ourselves.

    Actually I purchased this iPad 2 during Best Buy's door buster deals on Black Friday, so it was an excellent price, for my wife's Christmas present. She loves it. We purchased a case for it and she now takes it with her. She can read her emails, listen to music at the same time and has already downloaded 15 free books from iBooks. Plus she has found apps for locating great movies. Like they say, whatever you may want, there is an app for that. She is still learning, but so far she loves it. I myself work in I.T. and support I.T. as a profession. On the about me, I will enter my wife's information, since she is the one actually using the iPad 2.

    So happy I got this before my iPhone. They are very similar . Love to take it with me in the chair or bed, so lightweight. Play games on it, Facebook, look at flyers for stores, send emails, and surf the web. I do not have a lot of computer skills and when I first got it I struggled trying to figure out how to use it. My husband and friends helped me to use it and then I also bought a book showing how to use it. the iPad is the reason that I finally got rid of my old flip phone and got an iPhone. I love the "speak" feature and suri on the iPad and phones. what a great invention. definitely the best gift I have ever received.

    iPad 2 has been around for 2+ years and there are newer versions with a faster CPU, better cameras, and higher res retina display, but for the great majority of apps and normal use it's indistinguishable from the later version, and available at a slightly lower price. Picked up this 16GB wifi-only iPad 2 and it's everything I needed. Great battery life, bright crisp display, and far more apps than comparable Android tablets.

    IPad 2 is great quality and has many features that a grade schooler can use in school. It is user friendly and makes a kid busy with apps and games.

    I wanted an iPad for a while now. Finally got a chance to get it when it was on sale at Black Friday. Wasn't sure how much I would use it but I use it all the time. Can't really go wrong with an apple product. I'm just starting to use the pages app for flyers and such and I'm pretty impressed. I love that all my apps are available. The only thing I wish iPads had are an SD slot for more storage. It would be nice to have more storage without buying a more GB iPad. Above all I'm very satisfied with my purchase at Best Buy!

    Got my iPad 2 during Black Friday. Paid $299 for it and then got a price match for $279. Looked at the iPad Air. I went with the iPad 2 because the only major differences between the two being Air a little faster, thinner, lighter and supports Siri, we're not enough to justify another $200 to $300. Also, I couldn't see any difference in screen quality between the iPad 2 screen and the Air's retina display. iPad 2 does everything I need and want in a tablet for a fantastic price!

    I have been using iPads since the second generation came out and recommend it to all my friends and family. Great for media 'consumption'...watching movies, playing music on my wireless speakers, surfing the web, etc. It is so convenient compared to booting up my laptop to do these things. It doesn't replace the laptop for business apps (MS Office) but everything else can be done very well on the iPad. Will definately buy another when the time comes.

    I like my iPad and am slowly learning to use it. I am having a hard time learning how to get apps but as I get more it will become easier. Since several family members have iPads I love the face FaceTime feature I found it easy to use and talk and see my family without any problem. The price was great I got it after Black Friday from best buy on line site. Shipping was the only option and it took a long time to receive it.

    Picked this up over Black Friday for $299 and you just can't beat the amount of features, ease of use, and reliability from this Apple product. I know there are updated versions of the iPad out there right now but if you can get this one on sale and haven't had your eyes spoiled with one of the retina display models you will be perfectly content with the iPad 2 as your tablet.
