There is nothing wrong with the iPad 2 .

Still a viable budget option. My sister's iPad 2 still works to this day, on iOS 7 even.

Of course there's nothing wrong with the iPad 2. But there's something wrong to buy the iPad 2 now at $399.
 
Why does a 9 year old have an iPad?

What's with a 9 year old having an iPad? I had an Amiga when I was 6 and started coding games when I was 7. An iPad with limited internet access and some creative apps would be great for kids that age.
 
So happy that parents here see the huge benefit of letting their kids use their iPads, computers, etc, even giving them their own at such a young age! My brothers, 5 and 7 years old, already know so much from the past few years of using mine and our parents' iPads. I wish all parents thought this way!
