[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5985234, member: 8835"] good questions. I have an iPad 1, iPhone 4 and my wife has an iPhone 4s. At home, I'd rather use the iPad than the iPhone. Bigger screen for looking up Wiki stuff while playing a game, etc. I tend to leave my iPad at home when I'm out and about, as I have an iPhone so I have emergency lookups solved. Screen-wise, the iPad 1 is good enough, so iPad 2 or 3 is better enough. However, Apple has an expiring generational support schedule. Meaning, my iPad is about to fall of the supported hardware kist for the newer versions of iOS. That'll mean less apps I can run when they get upgraded to support iOS6 and only iOS 6. That doesn't make an older model worthless, but it does diminish its potential usefulness as new apps come out. This is the conundrum you'll face with the iPad 2 vs. iPad 3, which is why I babbled so long about the iPad 1. If my iPad 1 is falling off the ladder this coming spring, the iPad 2 will be falling off a year later. Get the newest model you can, for the longest supported lifespan of the device. That's my generic iThing advice, based on my experience with the products, and my experience working in the tech industry. For your case specifically, you have an iPad 2. why spend more money? The new screen will probably look nice, but its not such a game changer to warrant a single generation jump. Wait'll the iPad 4. [/QUOTE]
