“Since I bought [my iPad 2] just under 2 months ago, that means it’s new enough to still have that ‘new car scent,’ but old enough to have to given me enough time to have a bona fide opinion of it,” Stephen Chapman writes for ZDNet.
“Alright, so, I know I’m a little bit late to this party and the iPad 2 is old news to many of you, but I’m only just now discovering the sheer awesomeness of this device and exactly what it is that every other tablet manufacturer out there is up against,” Chapman writes. “My iPad has shown me that I’ve been making uninformed statements for far too long now where anything coming close to competing against it is concerned.”
Chapman writes, “As some of you may recall, I wrote a fairly definitive piece a while back in regards to why I’m not a tablet guy. I came to that conclusion after deciding to get into the tablet market on-the-cheap by purchasing a Nook Color, installing CM7 on it, and seeing how I fared from there. If I felt compelled to step up from there cost- and hardware-wise, then I would have. Well, after about a week-and-a-half or so, I found myself not using it at all. As such, I sold it and said, ‘That’s it, I’m not a tablet guy!’ Then, I bought an iPad 2.”
