I have an iPad 1 and it does everything I ask of it.

I suspect that the iPad 2 was released mainly to keep a bit ahead of everyone else in the Tablet market. IPad 2 is a very good model indeed. However, it is essentially a souped up version of iPad 1 with a few extra additions. IMHO If you already have an iPad 1, personally I think it woud be better to wait until the third model comes out Evidently iPad3 will have a new OS and will be streets ahead of everything else on the market. {Some feel that it will be the first major step to eventually replacing the laptop.}
