Great product for all occasions

The iPad 2 is my first Apple product. The computers were still too expensive. The iPhone, rather the i0S, me too limited in my options, so I grabbed the area after the decline of Symbian, after more than 14 years, prefer to a BlackBerry in the mobile phone. Then my laptop an iPad 2 was offered to me looking for a UMTS stick for mobile use and I slammed (version 32GB, UMTS). So far I have not regretted it. I use the iPad, both professionally and personally. Processing and feel are very good. The display represents all very good and the resolution seems sufficient to me. Only the use in bright sunlight to complain about. The iOS responds quickly to inputs. Stuttering, hangers, freezing or crashes are foreign words. In the operation process is carried out to a fast. I've been using the iPad for PIM applications, email, edit documents, notes and sketches (with Bamboo Stylus), surfing the Internet, listening to music, books, magazines, news and Off- / Online access to information. The nice thing is, you always have everything to quickly has access to it and does not always run until the next computer. I'm at home often only for backup and sync with the BB (via Outlook). Since I have the iPad, I also play back first-person shooter. This makes the motion controller really fun. And the battery is beyond any doubt. Come even with intensive use loosely over the day, without constantly squinting after the battery indicator. Very positive are the many available apps and accessories. What I find to be negative, the iOS-typical limitations such. B. are missing or not accessible folder structure, lack of support many file types, depending on iTunes, the limited Bluetooth functionality etc. Nice were also a memory card slot and / or a Micro-USB connector was. With the lack of Flash support I can live. The managing photos is a horror (missing sync subfolders) and if you want to attach times different file types to an email, you are desperate. What would be even to mention the bad cameras. That makes a 5 year old Nokia phone to lengths better photos. Conclusion: The iPad 2 is a great product and the most sophisticated tablet on the market. Was in a media market to try various other. Only the BB Playbook has promised me. However, to me the 7 inch display is then for a tablet but too small. One should, however, still a lot to take money in hand to adjust the iPad to their needs. With the appropriate apps it is then to use even for serious work and not just for multimedia. I've been buying have not looked back since. I have my iPad wherever you go. PS: An iPhone does not come me still inside. Since my BlackBerry remains unchallenged.

Addendum: After about 18 months, I can say that I do not regret the purchase. Contrary to my above statement I have now gained me a iPhone 4S. In combination with this, the iPad has become an indispensable companion and both personally and professionally. The synchronization between the two working properly and by Universal Apps saves a lot of money. No matter on which device I edit my PIM's or documents, both devices are always up to date. My complete home office is now running on the iPad. That's the way it has to be. My laptop I sometimes turn only 1 x in a week. With a stylus, a Bluetooth keyboard and the corresponding Apps me the iPad replace my laptop in daily life almost completely. Even my stereo complains to buy a good AirPlay speaker on neglect. With the typical iOS restrictions I have arranged it well. The hardware is up to the usual signs of wear are still in good shape and with the battery I am still good throughout the day even with intensive use. And yes, the good old iPad 2 is still any challenge, despite loosely successors.
