I got the Ipad2 thinking by the reviews that the camera would be disappointing. The camera is not top notch, but it more than serves the purpose. It has great screen quality and it is easy to navigate and use. There are several programs on Itunes that are good for office use similiar to the Microsoft Office on the PC. Overall I enjoy using it and my kids really enjoy the educational apps for them.

I bought this on a whim while at a Best Buy store. When I bought it, I was sincerely worried that it would be a $500 paper weight. I've done that before... I have a few devices around the house that don't ever get used.
This on the other hand has been used every single day since I bought it. I seriously don't know any other way to put that. I think this little iPad might be one of the best devices I have bought for the home & travel. If you spend a lot of time on a plane and don't have one... you should.
The more important thing, it that this isn't just a big iPhone. If you are thinking to yourself... well, I have an iPhone. No, it isn't the same. the apps are better, the content it easier to interact with, it is just plain different than your phone.
Advice. I bought the 32GB wifi / no 3G. There are three decisions to make when buying an iPad. Color / Size / 3G? Color it entirely a personal decision. Do you like the white one, do you like the black one? I chose the white one. Size. I chose the 32GB. Now... I kinda wish I would have popped for the 64, but I'm sure this will work just fine until I have to buy an iPad 4 or 5 to replace this one. 3G. No 3G. I rarely use my iPad where I can't get a wifi connection. And I don't need internet access on it all the time. So it is hard for me to justify the cost both upfront and month to month. Had it been an extra $50 instead of an extra $130 to go 3G. I may have done that and then made my decision later. But I didn't. All in all, I could always pick up a mobile hotspt and have it covered. Just not worth the extra cash.

I was hesitant about buying this product due to the price, but I am highly satisfied with my purchase. I use this more than my laptop now. I originally wanted to buy a ebook reader, but my husband talked me into purchasing the ipad2 so I can get all the features. The ebook is a great app on here as well, but with the price of the product, I am more hesitant to carry this around everywhere with me. It's quite heavy as well to hold for a long period of time, otherwise it's a great product. To have everything in one product is great. I always do extensive research on my products I buy, and I did not regret this purchase after weeks of research. Hope this helps.

If you need access to the internet, your email, and basic computing, the iPad is for you. If you already own an iPhone you will have almost no learning curve; however, if you have always been a PC user, you should be able to master iPad use after a little bit of a learning curve. Connecting to my home network was a breeze, but finding a working printer application was a little challenging. The portability is amazing as its much easier for my wife to look up a recipe and just carry the iPad to the kitchen, something that wouldn't happen with her old laptop (it took up too much room on the counters) and now we are saving paper instead of printing out recipes. If you need to do alot of typing for papers and such, do genealogy research, or run alot of computer processing intensive programs; I would still recommend a PC laptop, but nothing beats the iPad's PC portability.

I received an Ipad for christmas and didn't think much of it. I have now realized just how amazing the Ipad 2 really is. The screen quality is phenomenal while the app store is endless. Everything about the ipad is great, however, it is a little pricey considering there are many tablets that claim to everything the ipad does for half the price. I would still recommend this because of its overall exceptional qualities that make it the best.

My first Apple tablet or computer product

The ipad2 is GREAT. The size and functionality is amazing. This is my first Apple computer product purchase, being a pc user for over 20 years. My next computer purchases could be Apple products. We bought the iPad to use on our trip abroad. Not having data phones, the WI/FI and apps we have purchase some for free, some for .99 to $5.99 will be very useful on our trip and daily usage at home. Never thought I would say Go Apple!

The only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars is because of the way it imports email. We have a POP/SMTP based email (Yahoo) and it imports all the mail from the inbox & spam/junk mail box from the server into the ipad inbox. It csan't filter out spam - it just imports all the server email. Once Apple updates the OS to fix this issue, then it'll be 5 stars from me!

I decided to get the 2 and save 100 bucks and I am glad I did. Love this iPad, it does everything I need and more. Have not used my laptop much but it is still useful for some things. Not having flash Has not been a big deal either....love the iOS compared to android. I have switched to fangirl and have to admit apple stuff is superior. <3

I purchased my ipad2 Dring black Friday sale and got a good deal. It's very easy to use, am able to check my emails, surf the web, pay my bills online and many more. I actually hardly use my laptop anymore. This new toy is so easy to carry around. Lots of apps! Only thing is it doesn't have flash so I have some reports I can't view with it. But nevertheless, it's a great addition to my toys!

BACK TO THE BEST ON THE MARKET

I recently sold my ipad1 and tried an android tab(acer iconia) and the HP pad.....both were returned rather quickly and I went back the iPad...the ipad2. it is the quickest and smoothess one out there. The camera sucks, so I wouldn't even consider this having a camera. If you are upgrading to get the camera.....don't bother. Either keep your ipad1 or wait to see what the ipad3 has. The battery doesn't last as long as the ipad1, but still better than the other two mentioned. Can't go wrong with this purchase.

IPAD 2!

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I picked this up yesterday at my local Best Buy during launch day, and all I can say is "Mr. Job's has done it again." The IPad 2 feels awesome in your hands, it is 33% thinner than the previous model, better processor speed, and dual cameras! Not to mention it is offered in WHITE! I would buy this again if I needed another! I would also pick if a smart cover and possibly a ZAGG clear cover for the back as well! (Need to protect this beautiful device!)

I love this thing. It has many great features to it. I love the picture quality and its very convient to carry around and is extremely light. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. It is a bit pricey. I bought the midlevel for memory.

Best Tablet on the Market

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I originally ordered the iPad when it first came out but cancelled the order before it shipped. I was glad I did when the iPad2 came out with a front and back camera, thinner, better screen resolution, and faster processing speed. I immediately got one and do not regret it. It can't be matched when it comes to viewing photos, listening to music, checking e-mail, or surfing the net. Of course, Itune apps are much more numerous and better than Android apps. I only wish it would display Adobe Flash.

The iPad 2 with WiFi is a great product. We use it at home or any WiFi spot. It is easy to carry and hold on a sofa, bed or at a table. Very light.

Great screen and easier to see/read than my iphone 4. at my age you appreciate a larger screen. Couldn't afford the 3g model, couldn't see myself w/ipad on my ear talking up a storm. Kind of expected features like a desktop but serves it's purpose better than a laptop.

Love my IPad. I have lots of experience with computers over the years but had not worked with Apple products since I bought my first computer in 1970 something. I took it out of the box and within seconds I was traveling around to the different areas with no problem. Soon I was downloading apps and by the first hour I was sailing! I had purchased it so that my fiance could use it for business in Michigan and transfer his data when he returned home in Virginia but after the 1st day I told him he would have to buy his own..........I wasn't giving mine up.

A tablet convert

I hadn't planned on buying a tablet computer but when we had an HP laptop completely fail I started thinking about how we use our laptop. I decided that a tablet did most everything we used a laptop for. I only considered an iPad because I was already an iPhone and iMac convert. It has been the best purchase. It performs great and the graphics quality is tremendous. Another home run by Apple.
