I am a person that appreciates technology.\u00a0 I am not, however, one of those people that camp out overnight just to be one of the first to have the latest gadget.\u00a0 But if there’s anything that might make me rush to retail on opening day, it would be the new iPad2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

My love of all things Apple was solidified when I got my iPhone4, and the new iPad is just the icing on the proverbial wedding cake.\u00a0 It’s release today was met with much anticipation and fantastic reviews overall.<\/p>\n

I won’t bore you with too many technical details (you can check out specs here<\/a>), I’ll only say that it’s thinner, lighter, faster, has two cameras, and is just all-around more awesome than the first one.\u00a0 For anyone that might wonder why they would ever need such a device, if you have a smartphone, e-reader, and\/or a laptop, you need<\/em> such a device.\u00a0 The iPad2 is practically all of those things in one!\u00a0 And even if you’re not that technically inclined, if you use a computer at all, you’ll be amazed at how much more productive you can be.\u00a0\u00a0 With an advanced touchscreen, wireless printing, over 65,000 apps, and sooooo much more, I can’t think of anything else I’d like to get for Christmas this year.<\/p>\n

The iPad2 starts at $499, and even though it still only comes in basic black or silver, the iPad Smart Cover – which is highly recommended – comes in a rainbow of colors to suit your style.<\/p>\n
