What more can be said about the iPad that hasn't already been written? The thing is amazing! The build quality and overall feel is superior to all the competitors. I can go to my e-mails and internet sites generally much faster than on my relatively new PC. It may not have the Retina display like the newer version 3, but it still looks very good for general use e-mails, web sites, basic apps and games, etc.. I look forward to learning the many available features and the increrible variety of apps now available.

I purchased an Ipad 2. So now I have three laptops, a Kindle and the Ipad2. I use the laptop every morning to surf the internet while drinking a pot of coffee. The Kindle is without question the best for reading. The Ipad is for fun and convenience. I like the instant on, so I check stuff that I would previously waited to check until I had the laptop booted up. I surf the internet while Im watching TV. I like being able to show stuff to my wife without carting around the laptop. So Im a happy tech warrior. I still have to learn more of the details of using the Ipad, but I plan on attending one of the classes offered at the Apple store. Dealing with Vanns was easy.

I like the iPad2. It is easy to use, fun to learn, is user friendly, intuitive and has plenty of resources to learn how to do what is different than Windows-based products. I havent figured out all of the how-tos yet but they havent been a big issue for me. It is light and easily carried with you throughout your day, barring extreme sports where you wouldnt want it with you anyway. There are many free apps and many affordable apps available, from good computing tools to fun games.
Since the Retina came out, the iPad2 price came down and that was appealing also. I like the touch features, from enlarging some screens, to scrolling, to the on-screen keyboard. It all functions very well.
My mobile-computing device desires and needs are somewhere in the middle of the pack between the high-tech people and the no-tech people and the iPad2 suits me and gives me room to grow as close to the high-tech end I choose to go. I procrastinated far too long and am glad I own this product now.
The Apple production controversy has good points on both sides and is not a part of this review.

This was our big present for the house this Xmas. My wife and I really like it. We did not have the right OS or the latest version of iTunes so we took it to a friends house the just get it to wake up. The iPad does nothing until connected to at least iTunes 10.5. We could not sync it to our desktop until we upgraded our OS to 10.5 but even before that it performed most of the basic functions. Once we did upgrade it is like having a laptop along with the desktop. We can both perform separate functions and not have to take turns at the computer. I am gone sometimes for a week at a time and now she can use the iPad to watch movies in bed. It is also nice to sit on the front porch in good weather and be able to do computer work without the expense of a full laptop. The graphics are great. We play hidden object games and the screen images are amazing. Same with other video. Lots of great apps to choose from, most at reasonable prices with several good ones for free. I am a birder and have downloaded a field guide and may get another one. Sometimes the screen is oversensitive to the touch and it does not have all the features of a laptop but overall this is one of the nicest gifts we have given ourselves in a long time.

Order procedure was quick and simple. Shipping was free and wait time was reasonable for ground shipping. As for the product, this was my first Apple product and now I can see why they blow away their compitition. The quality, look and feel of the ipad is part of its appeal. It feels like its built to last. Most companies these days cant touch this type of quality. The controls and touch screen is amazing, I put in the hands of my 82 year father who never touched a computer in his life and it made sense to him. My wife is amazed at the educational possibilities that this tool contains as well. We are very pleased so far and are looking forward t o expanding our universe in the app. store.

What can I say about the iPad 2 that hasn't been said before? I'm a HUGE fan. It is worth the money, its better than other tablets out there and thats that. Let me concentrate on Vanns for a minute. I've been stalking iPads everywhere -- at local stores, at various other online sellers you know the ones. What attracted me to Vanns initially was 1 Great customer satisfaction scores on the sites that keep them 2 No sales tax 3 VERY reasonable shipping 4 The fact that the iPad2 was in stock and ready to go -- most other sites were on backorder but maybe we could find you one.... But what REALLY clinched the deal was when I called to order. I called a couple times, actually, and I spoke to a couple really nice guys who 1 Didnt act as though I was wasting their time by asking them questions, like a couple of the NY outfits I called 2 Spoke English as their primary language. Listen, I'm not a racist and I don't rant but when I buy something for a lot of money and I have questions I want to be 100 sure that I'm speaking to someone who truly understands me. Vanns did. After speaking with Vanns twice on the phone there was absolutely no doubt that I would buy my iPad2 from them. And theres also no doubt that when I want to buy other large and small ticket items I will absolutely start and likely stop with Vanns!!

Bought as a gift for our daughter who is a teacher, as her school recently started using IPADs for student instruction. This model has moderate storage capacity for photo and video and program use and 3G capability allows for use outside of networks. Set up was easy and she was using the IPAD within an hour. We also purchased the 2-year service plan and the magnetic cover. She also teaches her schools lego robotics program and downloaded some new applications for this specific use. She has recently added many new applications to increase the usage of the IPAD. The low cost of applications make this an effective tool for instructors.

I can control my directv system with the Ipad, I can have hours of fun with the garage band ap, I can make phone calls also because I have the skype ap. The quality of sound, with earbuds, brings my Beatle music alive again and the music available on Itunes have introduced me to new music, Bruno Mars, Lada Ga Ga etc. Well I guess you figured out by now that I love my Ipad. Its not perfect, I understand that, No Flash player but I added a program called cloudBrowse and it works on the items I need to open. I say buy the Ipad 2, wifi or 3g whatever your pocket can afford. Its well worth it. And Thanks to Vanns for getting me the model I wanted as soon as possible.

I always wait until the second generation of any Apple product before I will actually purchase. It was tough waiting to buy an iPad. I am glad I waited. While the differences between the first and second generation arent massive, the increased speed and processing power was worth the wait in my opinion. I had never even touched an iPad until I opened the box from Vanns. I am just blown away by it. Sure, it is basically just a big version of my iPhone without the phone functionality, but it is different in some very important ways. The iPad offers a unique user experience in regard to email, internet, and simply sitting around and playing games. It is so convenient to leave on the coffee table to pick up whenever you need to send someone a message, or look up something online. This is a product that will be iconic within a year or two. It will follow in the footsteps of the iPod. I opted for a 32GB because I wanted to be able to load it with music and a couple movies for vacations. My 32GB phone is over half full so I didnt want to get a 16GB and regret it later. The Smart Cover is awesome as well. The day after I got my iPad I sold my laptop on eBay. I dont need it anymore.

I was able to get the new Ipad 2 the weekend following its debut. It was sold out everywhere on the first day, but the Vanns staff was very accomodating and even reserved one for me! The new Ipad is very useful. It gets great wireless reception and has new features such as HD video recording, Facetime and still shot photography. I do admit that the resolution quality is lacking. I am sure that is something Apple is working on for the next Ipad generation. Other than that, its an amazing piece of technology. Lightweight and to the point!
