Just bought an ipad3 16gb a month ago..love it, the screen is pin sharp. Never had a tablet before. I just use it for web browsing, sky go, tv on demand, mail etc.. It does everything I need. Watching tv, films is surprisingly good.
Love the fact it boots up quick, my laptop takes an age and now only gets used for work. The battery life is also very good, I believe better than the ipad2.
Read all the reviews and the ipad3 always comes top.
The ipad2's are still £299, spend the extra £100 and get a 3.
