Should you dump your old iPad and get an Apple iPad 2? If you’re happy with your current iPad, there’s no reason to dump it just because there’s a shinier, newer one.

Even then, those that look promising like the Motorola Xoom run such an early OS (in Android 3.0) it will be a while before they can rival the iPad in terms of apps. It's taken nearly a year since the launch of the first iPad for any manufacturers to come close to creating a tablet that can rival it. If you held off from buying over the last 12 months, then the iPad 2 is a brilliant reward for your patience. If you already own an iPad then you’re not missing out too much by waiting for the next iteration before you upgrade. So for those who just have to have Apple tech, but cannot afford the iPad 4, the iPad 2 is a decent point of entry.Ĭomparison, online available, Short, Date: Īdmittedly, the iPad 2 is more of an evolutionary step for Apple, akin to the jump from iPhone 3 to 3GS. The combination of Nexus 10 and Android 4.2 alone offer a similarly high quality experience as Apple's iPad. That said the iPad 2 remains a good deal. That doesn't stop it being a good deal of course. Were Samsung to make and sell it on its own terms its likely the price would be nearer that of the Galaxy Note 10.1 - nearly twice as much. The Nexus 10 is heavily subsidised by Google as a means of getting people to use Android and - critically - buy apps and media from Google Play. But there are reasons for this situation. The iPad 2 remains on sale to give Apple fans a lower-priced alternative to the full-specced iPad. The Nexus is brand new, has an unsurpassed display, and offers the best all-round performance of any tablet around. That the Nexus 10 is only £10 more than the iPad 2 is, on the face of it, outrageously good value.

It’s fantastic inside and out, blending cutting-edge hardware and innovative software into a single, unified whole. Yet today’s iPad is already, undeniably and enthusiastically a great product. It’s a futuristic gadget the likes of which we’ve never seen before, yet also a ‘version one’ that may soon be viewed with the same nostalgic amusement we have for the chunky original iPod. The iPad is a wholly new product, yet one that will be familiar to anyone who’s ever used an iPhone or iPod touch. This is an impressive debut for an ambitious new product direction for Apple.
