I've had each of the ipads out. I'm now using the new iPad. When I got
the iPad 2 my hubby kept his original iPad. What he found was that every
iOS update made his iPad a bit slower and used more battery power. Also,
some apps, like iMovie werent able to be used because it needed a camera.
If you're going to be reading on you're iPad, the iPad 2 or later is much
nicer. The resolution on the ipad 2 is really nice for reading. The new
iPad is even nicer for reading. I have yet to find apps made for the new
iPad that won't work on the iPad 2.
I started with the original iPhone and found myself using it for all sorts
of things. I read on it, played games on it, read email on it, did just
about everything on it I could. I upgraded when the next version came out.
I'm up to the iPhone 4 now. When the original iPad came out, I got it.
There went the iPhone except for texting and using in the bath. I now use
the iPad for most things. It has a bigger screen that makes it much better
for web surfing and email answering. With the great apps out there for the
iPad, I can do enough within that I don't use wither of my macs much. Even
less since wifi syncing came out. I have yet to find a way to hook up and
actually use an external hard drive with the iPad, so I have an account
with Dropbox. You can get 2 gb free. I putndroobox on both of my
computers also. I use iCloud for my backups and also sync via wifi to my
computers.
The graphics are great on the new iPad. Hi res is great for watching tv and
videos. Reading is excellent, editing photos is great also.
Of you want a lightweight, very portable device to read and reply to emai,
save documents, play games, read, edit photos, surf the web, text and/or
use your social networks, the iPad is a great tool to do so. As I write
this, I'm in bed with mynipad on my lap. I can not say whether thenipad 2
or the new iPad is best for you. I can say that if you want to take
advantagenofnthe new apps coming out and want a hi-res screen the new iPad
is great. It does run a bit faster than the iPad 2 and it does have LTE if
you get the wifi/LTE new iPad. The iPad 2 has 3G only and wifi. The
original iPad has 3G also. The original iPad is a bit heavier and thicker.
The best thing about the iPad, I've found is that I'm not tied to my desk
anymore. Also, I do like the virtual keyboard of the iPad. I have more
room.
BTW, when I got the new iPad, my hubby took over my iPad 2. He loves it.
He likes the better screen and how much faster it is than his original
iPad.
I hope others will chime in and let you know how much or how little they
like their iPads. If you have the opportunity to compare the iPad 2 and
the new iPad side by side, do it. Its a great decision maker. Also, ask
the rep you talk to what the differences between the original iPad are vs
the other iPads. That can also be a decision maker.
