  iPad 2: Predictably Awesome  
   

"In January 2010, shortly after its unveiling, I first got my hands on an iPad. My initial reaction? “The iPad is like holding the future.” And that’s funny because here we are, just a little over a year into that future, and something new has come along that makes holding the iPad 1 feel like holding the past: the iPad 2.

A week ago, after its unveiling, I got some hands on time with the new hardware and my initial assessment was that it pushed a device that already had no true competition, even farther ahead. But now I’ve had the chance to actually use the thing non-stop for a week. Is my feeling the same?

Actually, it’s even stronger."

    iPad: A Huge Sucess  
   

Here are some articles worth reading to get an idea about what this new device is good for. But remember, like the iPhone, it will only get better. In fact, after these articles were written, Apple announced a new version of the operating system for both the iPad and iPhone, due out this summer. So some “missing” features are not going to be missing:

    Microsoft Office on the iPad? No... But try these...  
    Most of us want to open and create Microsoft Office documents on the iPad. So far, Microsoft doesn't want to play. So companies came out with apps that did most of what Office would do on the iPad, and recently Apple brought in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. See Macworld's article called "The iPad office suite."
