Quick start and loaded with features! I recommend getting a Otterbox as they can be slipper without protective gear. Don't drop one unprotected!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Refurbished
Product is great but because I bought used one it is very very slow... I better look for a Refurbished one...

Perhaps unusually I own a Motorola Xoom tablet, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet (and an iPad 1). Yes I'm a gadget nut. I've used them all for extended periods. The Samsung just sucks - easily the worst of the lot. The Xoom with the new Android Honeycomb, is much better and in some ways getting closer to the Apple iPad, but still has some serious drawbacks. The main one being it's buggy, and the software seems unfinished and has not gone through the QA that Apple products have. There is a lack of decent apps, and even mainstream ones (even Google's) crash, or at the very least are just not implemented as well as the equivalents on the iPad. For example the Apple Garage Band app - there is nothing remotely like this on Android, and it's an insane few £ cost for the iPad (and works perfectly well on the iPad 1). I predicted a year ago that it would take a year for Google to catch up with the iPad. I was wrong. More than a year later the iPad remains a significantly better product, with significantly better quality apps. Sure it has flaws - the lack of Flash is poor, but then again Flash on Android is far from great and typically slow and lot worse quality than desktop Flash. The Cameras on the Xoom are better. The screen resolution is better on the Xoom and this in my opinion is its best feature. The iPad screen has better colour, brightness, but can't compete with the Xoom on resolution. Oh and ignore all Android fans that say Android multi-tasking is better than iPads. It's not. In some aspects it's a lot worse. So if you're new to tablets, I'd say get an iPad. Best value by far is an iPad 1, if you can get it at the discounted rate. The iPad 2 is a relatively minor upgrade, slightly faster, slightly thinner. The next iPad (3) had better have a high res screen or else Apple will really start to lose out. So maybe in another year Google will have caught up, and understand what it means to write slick, bullet proof, fool proof software. Oh and one final point. Google (or perhaps their partner hardware companies) do not update their OS software like Apple do. So I will never be able to get the latest Android Honeycomb on my Galaxy Tab. But with Apple, I can get the latest software updates and they work at least 2-3 generations back. So, for example, when the improved iOS came out with support for app folders (still missing on Android), this upgrade worked perfectly on iPad1.Read full review
Let me begin by saying that I think that the iPad is a fantastic device. I am an early adopter that has Windows, Apple, and Android products and enjoys them individually for what they are. This review is comparing the new iPad 2 to the original iPad release to help you decide if you should upgrade or try to find one of the older units on the “cheap”. The iPad 2 comes in the same memory options as the original – 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB and no external slot is available for memory cards. With all these memory options you can install tons of apps. With the dual-core in effect, you will notice a faster loading of apps, web-pages, and web based apps compared to the original. The original was not “slower”, but in comparison, you can notice a definite speed increase. I believe that web pages and web-based apps are loading faster do to increased wifi capabilities, but I am unable to test this theory. Like the original, iPad 2 is a slick device, meaning both beautiful and slippery. Looking much like the original, except now it's 10% lighter and 33% thinner. What does this mean? This unit actually becomes even more slippery when moving it around in hand. The original's had some weight behind it, good and bad (though only by a few ounces), was enough to keep it in your hands. iPad 2 is like a is beginning for a warranty for the unit because when hands become sweaty playing games or in heat, this thing could go flying out. However, the Smart Cover, is an awesome option to combat this, albeit a minimum $40 option, it is NICE! Using magnets embedded in the iPad 2, the Smart Cover clicks into place to protect the iPad screen, adds hardly any weight or bulk, and turns off the unit very “sexily”. When the Smart Cover is closed, the iPad goes to sleep automatically, and then awakens when the cover is opened. The Smart Cover can also be folded to act as a stand for typing or movie watching. The display is the same, and this is why I feel this isn’t the leap we were expecting. This does not have the Retina Display, and still boast the same specs as the original. I’m not saying that the screen is awful at all, the iPad 2's screen is still as good as the original. The iPad 2's speaker has been moved from the side to the rear. In my opinion, this may be the only negative thing that has changed with the new release. The cameras on this device actually don’t have iPhone 4's 5 MP HDR camera, iPad 2 has a .69 MP (960 x 720) rear-facing camera and a.33 MP (640 x 480) camera in front. Unfortunately, the pictures are not the best, but in defense of the device, you are probably not taking stills with this thing. The pics tend to be grainy lack pizzazz. The cameras are really for are the ability to video chat using either Apple's FaceTime or Skype. But if those upgrades aren't important to you, the original iPad at it's newly reduced price is makes for an excellent choice as well. The iPad 2 includes three major upgrades over the original iPad 1: •iPad 2 is a third thinner and a few ounces lighter than the original. It also has a slightly smaller surface area – the screen is the same 9.7 inches, but the bezel is smaller which makes it nice when you do hold this. •There is now front and back cameras, so you can use Apple's FaceTime video chatting. •Dual core processors (actually two 1 GHz processors on a chip). Other than that, the new iPad is just a slightly smaller, thinner, faster upgrade to the iPad Original. You could call this an iPad 1.4 per say.Read full review
Not previously owning an iPad I did not know what to expect purchasing the iPad 2. After using it for weeks though, I can honestly say it is perfect and has no problems that I can comment on. After purchasing a wireless keyboard, I plan on completely replacing the computer with this tablet. Netflix and other amenities are great as well. I would get black though, I see the white becoming faded and not as clean looking after a while. Pros: -Size -Can never get a virus -Video quality -Speed -Can easily be held and carried Cons: -Cameras could be better -No Flash
