Comment:
I traded my Kindle Fire in for an iPad2 for the 3G feature, which was worth the difference in price. I can now get an internet connection almost anywhere. The iPad2 is also, pretty in every way. The slim design and the graphic resolution is superior, except in 2X views of games. The graphics are grainy and poorly resolved. The quality of the images for watching movies and TV shows is excellent, but I find holding the device or trying to find a way to balance it is cumbersome. Overall I am pleased with the performance of the iPad, although I have had to make two trips to the Genius Bar for bad programming glitches that drained the battery prematurely. In addition, the Not Charging message I get when trying to charge the thing via USB or even a general outlet is more than annoying. It requires charging via the plug included with the iPad. Really? Does it have to be that elitist? Apple enthusiasts insist that the iPad is so powerful, that it requires an incredible amount of power just to charge it. I'm sure this is true, but in everyday life, it is simply not practical to have to worry about where and when I am going to charge my iPad. Also, a device that cannot work with systems such as Flash is again not practical. Flash is a current fact of life and should be considered no matter how forward thinking developers are. I have not even begun to tap the potential of this device, because I am hampered by these minor inconveniences. All in all, for my limited usage, I would have kept my Kindle Fire if 3G had been possible.

I found Apples new tablet to be lacking the same features that come standard on other tablets. My honest advice would be to shop and compare. It has features, that work, but why pay more? I believe this was nothing more than the previous tablet with all the bugs fixed. The mapping feature is significantly less functional. Pay more? Why?

If you are student this tablet is very useful. It's fast enough, easy to use, its versatility is awesome, and the best part is its AMAZING quality. The cameras are good but the quality doesn't. But who cares about the cameras on tablets? It's enough with FaceTime. The principal use for a tablet is for students or personal use, even for business, but it's not for professional shootings. I've tried the android's tablets but the lack of quality on it is so visible, even you can touch and feel the difference of quality between Apple's tablet and Android's tablets. The screen on iPad with no doubts is the best. So if you want a tablet with good quality, good features and easy to use, and fast I'll recommend you the iPad 2.
How long have you owned it:
