I like the white. No regrets. But I never had an iPad 1 to compare it to.

If it makes any difference, I have an iPhone 4, but I would have bought a white one if they were available and I have a white Macbook. Maybe I just like the white gear better.
 
I think the white one makes it look smaller. Black ones just look bigger, and to me, size does matter, when you're holding it and doing things with it.
 
I feel like the white one will look worse after normal wear and tear. That's just my personal opinion.
 
Do people actually realise the White coating is under an oleo-phobic glass? The colour will not fade, or discolour after general use, same goes with the black one.

...Doesn't matter. If the exterior is scratched, its easier to see on the white background.

Do you realize how flawed your thinking is. Size has no relevance because they are the same size :p Deceiving looks don't make it physically smaller.
 
The black one tends to heat up a little faster and causes a need for the iPad to cool down.
The white one does not.
The white also hides fingerprints and dust more easily.
Functionality wise, white wins.

However, black looks better cause it matches the iPad's color scheme.
The white iPhone 4 has 2 colors, white and the silver bands.
The white iPad 2 has 3 colors, white, silver back and black buttons.
The black iPad 2 has 2 colors, black and silver.

It's really personal preference.
 
I didn't have to think twice; I wanted the WHITE bezel.

Here's why: I know each has their strengths and weaknesses as far as iBooks and movies and everything goes. So I figured the best way to go about it was based on personal preference.

My favorite color is pink. The white iPad looks much better with pink accessories. Problem solved. :D

I was going to say black every time, any situation, no question. But You have a very good point :)
