Anyone here have the iPad 2? I am thinking of upgrading from my iPod touch to the iPad 2 because I like the bigger screen and how you can watch movies with a bigger screen. Do you have any likes or dislikes about it? Pros and Cons? Thank's :)

I have one. I don't use it for this but so far I haven't had any dislikes. It is a little slower than an iPod but not by much. Hope tht helped

i have the ipad 3 32 gig wifi + 4g. i use it when i go flying (where i am the pilot) to help navigate.

i also love all the apps, mail options, and movie watching on the go anywhere with the 4g or 3g for only $30 per month no contract

battery lasts great, screen is large and bright, and i got an otterbox cover to protect.

Do you guys think that the 16 gigabyte is not enough space? I'm not a big photo person and I wouldn't really have any music on it.

I have it. The only thing I use. The only thing I don't like is the junk emails. You can't just click a delete all button. You have to click on each one, then delete all. Now that photobucket has an app, I can now post pictures from the iPad. I couldn't before. Not sure if that was me or the iPad though:D I don't think you will be sorry if you get one.

I have one, it's great for googling references while I type on my actual computer, or for note taking in class. As a solo computer it's not as great.

I have a tablet and I think I need a keyboard. I hate the hunting and pecking for letters. I would say get it with a keyboard for sure.

Why would you say it's not good as a solo computer?

It doesn't have flash, so if your a gamer you will rip out your hair, it's also really terrible for typing out research papers, it gets really old really fast. If you just want it for games it's awesome, just not if you want to use it as a work computer. I even have a key board for mine, but I still prefer my MacBook for doing any school work.

Re read your original post, you can only watch movies you purchase from iTunes on the iPad. So if your a tad bit scurvy in your movie habits an iPad is not a good idea.

Been investigating (getting one for my sister for her Bday) and i am leaning towards a 4th generation iPad instead of the iPad 2. Better specs until they release the next generations of iPad 2. For myself I have an Android based Asus Transformer tf700 and love it too bits!
