I have an iPad 3, and my wife has an iPad 2. The thing about Apple products, yes like Venus said... they're simple devices. But on the flip side, they're very polished devices. Everything is very smooth. All the transitions are flawless, etc. Android devices have a strange stutter to them that makes the transitions herky-jerky. Like when you scroll a web page, it stutters for a second... and then it starts scrolling. And it's quite noticeable.
There was a Jailbreak for iOS 5.1 released about a week ago that removes the dependency on the iTunes App Store.
The other thing is the screen of the iPad 3 is better than sex. 2048 x 1536 is quite a sight at 9.7". The problem with the iPad 2 is it's 1024 x 768 resolution makes small text literally unreadable, and I hate being able to see the pixels on the text I'm reading.
Remember, these tablets are meant to be replacements for books and magazines, and meant for surfing casually. Clean looking text is critical, and the only device currently on the market that gives you clarity similar to an actual book is the iPad 3.
The reason I never owned an iPad 2 was because the pixel density really sucks... I strongly suggest avoiding it for the higher resolution model. It will be money well spent.
