.compelling reason is 4g as opposed to 3g, and hd screen providing a significantly better display for your media consumption, and a 5 mega pixel cameraWe currently have an iPad 2. I really don't see any compelling reason to ditch that for an iPad 3. In fact, given what has been released regarding the iPad 3, if I were in the market for my first iPad, I think I would go for the iPad 2 and pocket the extra $100.
Color me not impressed, but I am not a power user of the iPad. To me, the current iPad is plenty powerful for what I do with it, and the display is more than adequate.

what if it doesnt work? Nice thing is paper doesnt malfunction.I'm a pilot and use ForeFlight for navigation charts, no longer carrying 15 pounds of paper charts with me all the time.
Of course YMMV, but I just use the wifi version so 3G to 4G makes no difference to me. I can just tether to my phone if needed (or more likely, just use my phone for tha occasional off-network internet access that is needed)..compelling reason is 4g as opposed to 3g, and hd screen providing a significantly better display for your media consumption, and a 5 mega pixel camera
Given that I just bought a fully customizable, pre-rooted Android tablet for $99 that does 90% of what an iPadX does, and 95+% of what I'd personally do with any tablet type device (web, music, movies, eread, documents, tv, games, email, etc), I just can't justify the extra $400.
How many people on TUG do you think understand what pre-rooted is, much less the advantages of it? :hysterical:
Probably not many. But that's not my fault, and it doesn't change my reasoning or my answer.

Quick questions: I bought two ipad2 less than two weeks ago as presents for my relatives and brought them to China. I have the receipt but no ipad obviously. Can I get a refund for the difference in price?
I have an ipad and never got the ipad2. But in a month or so when the excitement fizzles, ill get an ipad3 and give my ipad to my mom who wants one and doesn't know it yet.

I think this is an opportunity for you to explain to others why you think this is better, particularly for the casual user that likely defines most TUG members needs. I'm all for competition, but tell us why you think your choice is better, other than the obvious cost difference. What about the other 5-10% that your device doesn't do? Are those tasks unimportant? What are they? It looks to me like your Android does most of what most people here would want.
