Updated a couple hours ago on my iPad 4. Download was fast but I was stuck for a while on validating the update, probably due to Apple servers getting hammered.
I'm loving it so far, with two exceptions:
1. I'm not thrilled with the dock background. I think I would have been happier with a transparent bg or solid black, but it just doesn't fit well with many wallpapers.
2. Safari doesn't show the full URL, you have to tap it to see the complete line.
But, I can overlook those two things.. I really like this update.

Sorry, but you are correct. The "original" iPad (the very first generation) only goes to iOS 5.1.1. It cannot run any higher iOS version.

No problems with battery drain on iPad mini. However, they was a significant drain on my iPhone 4S because I chose to use the Background App Refresh. Once I turned that off, everything was back to normal.
The parallax wallpapers are not a drain at all. The movement is very subtle and nothing to worry about IMO.

. IS IPAD 2 able to get this new down load or Not??
Yes, iOS 7 can be installed on the iPad2.
And - a reminder, please. This thread was created because the original poster wanted to get member's initial impressions of the iOS by those who have installed it. So, please, let's all stay on topic and talk about impressions only in this thread. Thank you.

Overall I quite like it.
But, as usual with every major version update of IOS, the keyboard gets less responsive. (had that happen from 4 to 5, 5 to 6 and now 6 to 7. I'm starting to think it's by design to make you buy a new device)
I don't like the 'folder' view with the 9 icon grid. It works fine on an iphone as that grid fills the whole width of the screen width a usable icon size, but on an ipad it feels ridiculous to have to swipe to a new page to get to 1 extra icon.
It looks like the background for folders and the permanent icon 'bar' on the bottom is taken as an average from the background image. It can lead to some vile colours though...

woe is me!
as yet i've to update to iOS 7 and iTunes 7, tried last night but no new update available which is typical of UK users treatment.
reading others threads 3 hours at best to carry this operation out, it's going to be a sleepless overnight job mixed with impatience, anticipation and the darkest fears of shredding my beloved iOS devices, starting with my own iPad 3, and then i have my iPhone 4s and the wife's iP4 and iPad 2, which if her devices go's South it will be all MY fault of coarse, and i get my half of the divorce settlement immediately - the outside if the hose!
.
i wonder if Apple realise the impact on and even have the powers to destroy married bliss that they have?

I too am having this issue. When selecting a photo for wallpaper, you get a prompt to move and scale the image, but I can't find a way to do so.

If you took a backup via iTunes you could restore and then get your old look back. Apple will hardly do a redesign.
