So can you play music on pandora and browse the internet at the same time? Or listen to music that you have on the ipads ipod and browse the internet at the same time? Just to be clear, I'm talking about the ipad2 and 3.
Got a tip for us?

You can do it on the iPad 1 as well, and on iPhones. Streaming audio in the background is pretty straightforward in iOS.
I thought so but Im pretty sure I heard someone say you couldn't, which really surprised me. I just got paid today, so I'm just asking some last minute questions because I think I'm going to buy one today.
Now just to decide if I want white or black. That seems to be a tougher decision than It should be.
I think im gonna go with the 32gb ipad2 over the 3 with 16gb. I would go with the 32gb iPad 3 but that extra 100 dollars does make a big difference for me.

If your budget is that tight, be sure to consider what kind of case you might want (even if you're not worried about protecting it, you might want a case as a stand or to make it easier to hold) and a budget for apps.
It's not THAT tight, but I'm not going to spend all that much on a case. And I'm not worried about apps, I'm not going to have that many. It's just that I don't get paid again for 2 more weeks, and I could get the apogee jam with that extra hundred dollars id have to spend on the iPad 3. And the apogee jam is a must have for me. I also don't think the iPad3 is really worth the extra hundred.
If I'm going to drop an extra hundred, I might as well get the 64gb iPad 2. I think double gb's I worth it more than the better screen and camera. I'm not going to be taking many pictures or watching many movies on my iPad.

LOL, that's what you think now.
But then you'll want to see just how much this baby can do... And oh, that one is on sale... And I've heard great things about this one... I've spent at least $150 on apps in the past year (might be approaching $200), and I thought the $50 gift card I bought with the iPad would last me forever!
If your not going to have many app, pictures or movies, why are you worried about extra gb's? You may as well go for the iPad 3 16gb.
I personally would get the 2 w/32GB vs the 3 w/16GB. The 2 is still a sweet iPad. Yes, the camera is better, but honestly I think the iPad is the wrong form factor for taking photos regularly.
The HD display is amazing, but the iPad 2 is still very good.
