Compared to all other tablet options in the market the iPad 2 is a no brainer; that being said, it's not perfect. While the design of both the software and hardware is elegant and functional there is a lot that still needs to be done to make iPad 2's productivity powerhouses. My only real serious complaint about the ipad 2 is that the display is no where near what apple can (and should) be putting on a device as content oriented as the ipad. Though I would be very surprised if the iPad 3 didn't have an HD display, I really think that is a features that shouldn't have been skipped on the iPad 2. Nonetheless, the iPad is still the industry leader in tablets by miles and is the best buy in its class.
