    Ipad 2. Believe me the new ipad will be a waste of money it'll just have new features like better graphics or better camera, you don't need that cuz the ipad 2 already has awesome graphics and an awesome camera

    Get the iPad 3, if it's not impossible to pay back. Despite their not being many differences, the new screen is fantastic. But the main reason is that Apple will support the iPad 3 for a year longer than the iPad 2, which doesn't sound that important but you'll realise how important it is once your device stops receiving updates. You'll lose out on quite a few features

    if u wanna use it longer, than buy iPad 3, cuz there later may be the newer version, and it'll seem to u that u have the oldest iPad, if u buy iPad 2. but if u can change it in a year, than buy 2 one.

    Not wanting to sound bitter but you should be happy with any of that very expensive technology you receive .

    but to answer your question there's really not that many new things with the iPad 3 its just get bigger few features are added and called 1,2,3 verbatim for each new thing Apple comes out with.

    Source(s): I bought the first I pad and im still happy with it .
