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.

Yeah! If one is buying an iPad2, a cover is necessary to cover the shame!

The 'shame' of using an older model - my god Apple fans are superficial!

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!
