I have and love my ipad2 so I really didn't need the upgrade but... My husband who does not usually care about technology was thrilled when he found out about the new iPad release. When I asked him why he rubbed his hands together, grinned broadly and said, "cause now I'm getting an ipad2!" he thought I would get the new one and pass mine down to him. So, my new iPad 3rd generation says "I Love My Husband!"
