I've been looking for a tablet computer for a while and finally settled on the iPad 2 (white, 16Gb, wifi only) over the iPad 3 and Archos G9 80. I haven't been disappointed. It was easy to set-up (maybe about 10 minutes to register our home wifi connection, register the product and create an Apple user account). There's not much I can add in terms of describing the product itself - it's a superb piece of technology. I don't regret purchasing the iPad 2 over the newer version. I paid £305 through Amazon re-seller Chat & Vision and consider this to be a bargain against the £100+ extra you would pay for the new iPad (in May 2012). If having the absolute latest version isn't that important to you, I'd recommend trying to grab an iPad 2 while they are still available and around the £300 mark - I think this represents really good value for the 'average' user.

Just got one for my son and very pleased with it. As far I am concerned the upgrades on the latest version are not worth the 25% premium and this will do pretty much everything the iPad 3 will.
The screen may be a lower resolution but is still clear and easy to read, text is stable and video smooth.
The camera's may lack pixels but is fine for Facetime and messing about and who would not use a phone or dedicated camera for important pictures anyway.
The interface is slick and fast and I suspect much of the extra processing power of the iPad 3 is to drive the higher resolution screen. Applications run smoothly and many up-scale so you do not have to go out and replace your complete iPod Touch collection with HD variants.
It connected first time to my BT Infinity broadband and apps download and install quickly and easily, backing up to the cloud and managed via the excellent iTunes. The 4G enhancements on the iPad 3 are not currently supported in the UK.
A great piece of kit and one you only see the point of when you actually use it. Still expensive but better value in my opinion that the latest version as well as the many Android based clones.

What more can I say, other than as a gadget nut, this has to be the best bit of kit that I've ever purchased. Got it as a present for my wife, but the home computer is now virtually redundant, as the ipad works so quickly and well for routine web browsing, emails, video calls, tv catch up and light entertainment. Didn't bother with the Mark 3 as the upgrade didn't warrant the extra money for our requirements, and at under £300 this was superb value. Only downside is that I now want another, as the family end up fighting over it !
If you're undecided - Don't be...just get one !
