iPad 2 First Impressions and Unboxing Photos

Picked mine up on Saturday (Canada). I got lucky, walked into a BestBuy and walked out 5 min later with a 16GB Black Wifi 😀

I liking it a lot more than the original iPad, the weight and speed makes a big difference.
 
Snow White

Got mine yesterday

FaceTime is really cool
Cameras are nice to have but have so-so quality
Smart cover is a HUGE improvement over the original iPad case
New design is very nice
Haven't had a chance to download any CPU intensive apps, but there is a major speed increase in GarageBand

In my opinion a nice upgrade 😎
 
I was gifted one by my wife on my Birthday just a few days ago! Amazing device! Love Facetime and all the other apps. Love the screen and physical design of the tablet. Fantastic all around. BUT I have one MAJOR gripe:

WHERE IS THE CLOCK, WEATHER, AND STOCKS APP APPLE??? 😡

I think the screen is a huge step back especially against the first one, very washed out a drab

Not a chance. Side by side, at varying degrees of brightness, iPad 2's screen is slightly more vibrant, has slightly better contrast, and is a little bit more crisper than the iPad 1.
 
Here's mine...64GB Wi-Fi model black. At first I got the blue smart cover, but switched to the orange instead. I think black and orange go together better.

As for protection, I installed BSE on the back, and SGP Ultra Clear film on the screen. It worked great. Also got the Incase case when I'm out and about. I love my iPad 2. Glad I sold my iPad 1. 😀

I finally got the last pieces of my jigsaw:
Bodyguardz full skin.
Leather Smart Cover (tan).
10" neoprene netbook sleeve for travelling.
Digital AV & HDMI Adapter.

Rock solid with no fingerprints to worry about. No qualms about scuffs and scratches, whilst maintaining the awesome thinness.
Peace of mind is a great thing. :apple:

That's kind of the same thing I got for mine--front screen protector and back cover, though I may skip the back cover for now, as the one I bought on eBay requires "slightly soapy water" to apply correctly. Instead of the smart cover, I bought a traditional wraparound case, and then a zip up folio case for traveling. Now if my iPad would actually come in, I could actually use all that stuff.

i just don't get that. "Protective Skin! Apply with soapy water!"

sounds like "Bullet proof vest! Apply with Flamethrower!"

Hehe. I didn't mean more Smart Cover colours, I mean imagine if the iPad 2's themselves came in other, pastel colours.

MMMmmm... yes. that would cause many issues because I'd want a collection of a few colors and well that might cause some issues at the bank since I'd have to rob it. KIDDING...
