If you've played around with the first iPad
You know exactly what to expect from the iPad 2. The capacitive touschscreen is still responsive and smoothand still has that ooh factor that Apple fans purr over
The 9.7 inch screen is superb for webbrowsing
An iterative improvement upon Apple’s first tablet computer

The editors didn't like
Camera quality
No Flash support
Higherresolution display would be nice
Lowquality cameras
Some are experiencing light leaking issues
Poor rear and front cameras
Same capacities as the old version (16GB
32GB
And 64GB)
IOS is needing some updates to freshen it up a bit.
I haven't mentioned the price yet because things should stand on their own merit
Everyone's got different budgets
Etc. etc. Allow me to mention it now. I do not like the price. I find the price unnerving. The price is very much more than a price I would
The new cameras are better than no cameras
Though they're not particularly great
"Real" GPS only comes with the 3G models
Glass is thinner than before
Be cautious of easier breakage
Low-res cameras
IPad 2 is difficult to use as a hand-held camera because of its size and weight and the placement of the shutter button.
No higher resolution screen and two bottom of the line cameras make upgrading a thinker. Outside screen glare is still a problem
Still no Flash video support
Charging still slow
Still can't be performed via connection to computer
There is no USB 2.0 port on this tablet.
Not nightandday better for some iPad owners
Cameras are subpar by Apple standards
Android sometimes more powerful and open
Smart Cover doesn't guard the back
Still the same 1024x768 display.

Needs to be even lighter for one-handed use
Though the new cameras are a welcome addition
They're certainly lacking when it comes to image quality
Especially for stills. Although we don't expect people to be swinging their iPads around to take photos

New integrated cameras produce blurry
Grainy images that are unacceptably weak for still photography and look poor when forced to fill the display
Video recorded by the rear 720p camera is only acceptable. Modest reductions in headphone port audio a
No transformative new features. Display is unchanged
So it still isn’t usable in bright sunlight and attracts lots of smudgy fingerprints. Cameras yield poor
Low-res photos. Using cameras is often difficult and requires awkward grip. No support for 4G cellular data. Still no expansion ports.
The iPad's screen resolution hasn't budged
Photo quality is mediocre

Limited connectivity
Camera module has bad quality
The Apple System (both soft- and hardware) are completely closed off
