    Best tablet on the market

    Quote from Engadet review of the iPad 2: "It might frustrate the competition to hear this, but it needs to be said: the iPad 2 isn't just the best tablet on the market, it feels like the only tablet on the market. As much as we'd like to say that something like the Xoom has threatened Apple's presence in this space, it's difficult (if not impossible) to do that." Here is a performance comparison between the iPad 2, and Xoom. You can see in the first picture, the iPad 2 was more than 250% faster in this particular test than the Xoom. In the second picture, we can see the iPad 2 is 390% faster than the Xoom. The iPad has a superior build quality, its is much thinner than its competition. The operating system is fast clean, and advanced. The iTunes movie/TV show store and app store at totally unmatched by the competition. Smart cover is very useful.

    I use the IPad to work with eBay sales. This APP is easy to use. I especially like the camera. It has cut time to post items for sale on eBay by about 1/3. I like the portability when I travel.

    Would Buy Again But Instruction Manual Would Be Helpful If Included. Salesperson Was Very Helpful But Too Much Info To Absorb In A Busy Store. Once I Really Learn All The Functions No Doubt It Is The Tablet For What I Was Wanting

    Bought this for my dad who is 60+ years old. It is his first tablet. He was able to work tablet on his own with very little instruction. Now my mom wants one.

    I love it! It is so easy to use. I can take notes in class with an App. I downloaded for free. I can view some of my textbooks online. Some of my texts will not download though.

    Grand Children are 2 - 4 - 6 and even the 2 year old has her own Apps and plays with it for over 30 minutes at a time. I think the 6 year old knows more than Grandpa. Thanks Apple.

    Pleasantly Surprised

    This is my first Apple product except for my wife's iPhone. I already knew that Apple itself would be a good and dependable product. It's been rare to hear of a negative experience with all my friends who own Apple products. I believe, however, that I could find similar in quality products with more features for about the same price. I was really leaning towards the Google Android. One, it allows flash. Two, it allows for external memory. Three, I have more control than being stuck with Apple software from the Apple App Store. Four, it was upgrade-able to 4gLTE. The only reason why I chose an iPad is my company is moving forward with Apps focused on the iPad/iPhone first. I didn't want to wait until they came out with apps for Android since there's so many versions. I am pleasantly surprised! I knew it was going to be a good purchase (iPad 2 3g Verizon 16gig wifi), but I cannot imagine my life without it now. Online banking is so much easier! I use it for my GPS finding clients' homes and works way better than the AT&T Navigator I used to use. I was afraid that 3g would be too slow because I'm used to the slow 3g from my current phone (AT&T Tilt 2 Windows Mobile 6.5). But I found that the 3g wasn't the problem. It was the phone! I now use this for almost everything with my business. While I believe I still would have liked to get the Zoom X, I am still happy with my purchase. The hardest decision about this was choosing which data provider to go with and how much memory I wanted. I only download videos and music while on wifi, so Verizon's option to get 1GB for $20 a month works for me. Last month was my first full month and have only used just over 500MB. AT&T has 2GB plan for $25 a month. But I don't need it. And I still use my laptop and external drive for major downloads and movies. So the 16gig iPad 2 was just perfect. The batter life has been great. I can usually watch 1 or 2 movies and still have more than half the charge. The price however, still needs to be worked on.
