Finally bit the bullet and purchased two iPad 2's. Turned in my first generation towards a black 64GB 3G model (tan leather cover) for myself and also purchased a white 32GB WiFi model (red leather cover) for the Mrs.
The following are my thoughts from about 4 days of use:
(a) photos of the new iPad on the various websites, including Apple's don't do it justice; the thing looks smaller and the thinness is absolutely crazy
(b) the white version is absolutely gorgeous; I've always been a black gadget guy but I am getting seriously envious of my wife's white model, LOL
(c) the smart covers weather quickly, my tan colored one is looking older than the darker red one; I suggest getting one of the darker colors as they will probably "last" longer
(d) the magnetic switching on and off of the device is indeed a magical user experience; it feels more natural, rather than having to press a button and then swipe before using
(e) my wife's iPad has the gestures turned on and I have to say they are awesome; I hope Apple turns this feature on very soon - again, less button presses
(f) there is no huge speed bump from everyday use so far, so don't be expecting one; then again, I've not done much gaming
(g) the back of the devise scratches quite easily; I've been quite careful with mine and there are already a few small scratches (ouch)
(h) the angled sides do make attaching cables a tad difficult; noticeably more difficult, actually
(i) button access is also more difficult, especially when the iPad is lying flat on its back, which means some additional maneuvering is required
(j) speakers on the back, as opposed to the bottom, leads to muffled sound, or simply less sound as it is firing away from the user
All in all? What an awesome device!
