I received mine as a gift fir my birthday.....64GB......blk.....with the magnetic blk leather skin which puts my device to sleep. I am happy I got this but I need FLASH! There are a lot of sites I cannot access without FLASH.

Funny I have been using an ipad for 10 months and iphone 3 gs iphone much longer I have had no need for flash on any of the hundreds of sites I visit further more I have flash blocked on my Macbook as I donot want any slow down accessing sites. I have also more than 100 customers whom have no issue with not having flash on the ipad....all of my clients are business customers. Only 4 said if they really need to access a site that requires flash they use their desktop or laptop. Please understand Flash will not happen on the ipad so either use Puffin App or alternative apps or move on sell your ipad that was a gift and buy a buggy Android tablet. Its your choice simple as that

Now back to the topic ok

I purchased my first ipad and will purchase the new ipad2

My husband gave in and bought me mine for my birthday. I am a very lucky girl! Unfortunately for him, i'm on it more than he thought I would be. He still loves me, I think!

Well my wife has a wee bit of technophobia so I don't have to worry about her "stealing" my iPad (that she gave to me!). I recently put an HD radio in one of our cars and she said it sounds lovely, but I would prefer a radio where I didn't need to read the instruction manual to learn how to change the station!

Technically both.

1st gen iPad was a gift, sold it and used the money for an iPad 2. Since I downgraded from 32gb to 16gb there wasn't a noticeable loss of money in my eyes. I didn't even use up 16gb on my 1st gen so I'll be just fine.

Trying to convince my wife to buy an iPad last July I finally just went out and bought one. I wasn't thru the door and she took it over. I got the iPad2 for myself and will not let my wife near it! :)

If you are lucky! We women have our ways you know! I'm just grateful my hubby isn't very technically minded, for goodness sake he couldn't start watching one his The Good Life tv programs without me having to do it for him. I love him, he just doesn't care, just give him a spade and he's out in the veg garden.

I had my wife purchase the 1 for me at our VZ store when they were on sale since I was out of town for a few weeks. However, she got to open it and play with it first, really enjoyed it, so now it is her's. I am still waiting for mine, I will will either hold out for the 3, or hope the 2 goes on sale when the 3 does come out.
