| Bottom line | The
iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
| The latest
iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply. | If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the
iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money. |
