Hello fellow forum buddies! New iPad 2 owner!

[iHeartsteve]

Welcome to the forums! And congratulations on your iPad!

Don't listen to those saying you should of waited, the basic functionality of the iPad will always be the same. 1st Gen, 2nd or the rumoured 3rd? They're all amazing products!!

Thank you

I love it. It replaced a 5 year old laptop that was almost twice the price new and in less than a year the hinges were coming apart, as if just Windows wasn't enough of a problem. The Macbook Pro just oozes quality. I do take really good care of it so I'm not surprised that it still looks and works like new. Pity I couldn't say the same about the "other" laptop. As long as Apple makes computers at least I'll never have to have anything else.

Wow 5 years is a long time for 'another' brand to last. My laptops always die after 2 yrs. Mac all the way from now on! Thx for answering!

Thx! It is addicting! I definitely think apple is going to wait until June/July to release ipad3 not bc I want them to delay since I just bought 2 -- I think apple feels the pressure to trump the 2 since the iPhone 4s was a let down. Also, to honor steve jobs! I think he would want an out of this world ipad3

As many have pointed out, I don't think the iPhone 4 was a "let down". I personally won't be buying it as it isn't necessary to me (I have the iPhone 4): SIRI is barely used by my friends who own one. However, the 4S is a great update for those those who posessed a 3G. Also, I highly doubt the iPad will be introduced in July: Apple has cycles of refresh, and the iPad two was announced on March 2nd. Not saying you made a mistake buying the iPad 2— it's a fantastic device—but the iPad 3 is DEFINITIVELY right around the corner

I should not have used the term 'let down'. Many who owned iphone4 didn't feel the urgent need to buy the 4s.

I intended on waiting until 2nd cycle or batch of ipad3 anyways. So if iPad 3 comes out in 3 weeks, I don't care. Either way, I plan on waiting till midsummer. That's also why I only bought 16g wifi, I will prob buy 32g 3G for the ipad3. Keeping one at home and the other in my purse.

We'll see when the 3 comes

I think you missed my point, the hinges on that other Laptop (A Voodoo) began to come apart at just about a year from purchase, not 5 years. I was EXTREMELY careful with it too. When I got my Macbooks I gave the old laptop to my sister and within a few weeks the power jack became unreliable as well. I ended up selling it to someone at a garage sale for $100.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I must have read it quickly. I'm suprised you even got $100 for it. Lol

mac all the way from now on!

Me too. I ended up giving half to my sister. She got stuck using it for 6 months and I thought she deserved something for that. Oh, when she gave it back to me she ordered a new Macbook Air. She loves that.

Enjoy your new iPad! I ordered mine back in June 2010, and have been using it every day since it came in the mail. I wouldn't worry about the fact that you didn't wait on purchasing one. - As long as you're happy with what you have.
Make sure to download some good apps

Well, at the time she was using an old 800mhz desktop PC running Win98 she got from my other sister so that crappy laptop was a real step up. I gave her half of the $100 I got when I sold it, that's what I meant that she "deserved". Quite frankly, I don't think anyone really deserves to be stuck with Windows, some people seem to demand it however.

Lol yeah I was just kidding. Yes no one deserves windows

Good for you

Buying what you want, when you want it beats waiting anyday.

Those who claim not waiting is a mistake, may simply have the typical addiction that proves they're never happy.

Chasing the "newest" will make you crazy

Enjoy!

By the way... both my wife and I have iPad 2 models and they are simply terrific.

Even though my iPad 1, was quite nice, the lighter weight of the iPad 2 makes quite a difference in comfort during use.

You will find as time goes by and you become familiar with all that can be done, your going to be so happy you bought now.

If there's one thing I've learned over the years with new tech, is the "latest" model could have bugs and other annoyances that the current models don't have.

Newer is not always better, and that's a fact

Cheers...

Welcome! I'll be getting my first iPad soon too!

Yeah iPad 2 is a lot lighter! Not sure how they can get thinner than ipad2 though lol. Yes I always wait until the second batch of new apple devices. There always seems to be some 'bugs' w first round.
