The editors didn't like
Poor camera quality

Design
The first thing that stands out about the iPad 2 is its beautiful shape. It is noticeably thinner than the original iPad
At 241mm tall
186mm wide and 8.8mm thick. It is worth noting that
No Retina display
Doesn't get all features of iOS 7 and likely to fall further behind in future
May struggle with demanding apps and games
Three years old
Now discontinued
Dated Screen
Cameras are poor and let the tablet down
New Model Released
Apple-only applications
Limited connectivity
Sub-standard cameras
No removable storage
No Flash support
Complex tasks are fiddly and take time
Difficult to transfer noniTunes content back and forth
The omission of Flash video is a big issue
ITunes is dated and it’s hard to transfer data without iTunes
Where's the innovation?
No retina screen
Still no Flash
Negligable performance boost
Still expensive
Not enough new to tempt existing owners
Poorquality camera
No builtin SD card reader (optional adapter only) / No USB port / Single proprietary connection
No Flash compatibility for web browsing
Can't play DivX files without a special app or file conversion
ICloud can be intrusive in its interaction with other iDevices
No display resolution bump
Trouble with backlight bleeding
Not quite worth the upgrade for iPad owners
Closed shop for content
No Flash
More features elsewhere
The biggest problem with the Apple iPad 2 is its lack of ports. It's a shame that there's no USB port – making it impossible to easily hook up other devices without buying peripherals
And the need to use iTunes to copy your music across is also frustrating.
Fast performance, Super-thin design, Support for FaceTime, Superb media-sharing, browsing improvements in new iOS
Poor camera quality, Still lacking Flash support, USB port, HDMI, SD-card adapters cost extra
The iconic iPad is now thinner, faster, and just plain better. Seamless hardware and interface design, plus an unparalleled ecosystem of apps, keep the iPad 2 a step ahead of the emerging tablet pack. ...
Great battery life; super thin design; very bright and clear display; dual-core processor for graphically intensive games and apps; color choice; name your price with a selection of different models.
Some are experiencing light leaking issues; poor rear and front cameras; same capacities as the old version (16GB, 32GB, and 64GB); iOS is needing some updates to freshen it up a bit.
Considering lag was never an issue on the original iPad, the new version is sure to keep up the pace with double the memory and a dual-core processor. Even though the cameras are less-than-spectacular, it's nice to have at least the front one around ...
