ha! knew you would. how can you resist... and I'd say 75% of the ipad 2's i've seen are white.
surprised you didn't go for 3g though... was there a reason for that? with my original ipad and the 2 I couldn't think if having such a device out and about without data capabilities at all times. even though I have a mifi it may run out of power or whatever... the thought just scares me of not being connected

hi masseur,
yes, I thought about the 3g version too, and decided that tethering to my phone would be good enough. I tested it instore with my phone and was happy enough with it. I used my Galaxy Tablet during my last trips to Japan and Cyprus and was happy with using WiFi only on it.
Maybe I will be proven wrong..! wait and see! But I am almost fully retired now so will watch the pennies more!
Now thinking which apps to check out and more setting up to do!!

tomtom works great on the ipad 2. I've even bought a cheap car mount and cigarette lighter adaptor charger for it.
some of the mags are pretty good too, such as T3, Focus, igizmo and newspapers like mailonline, times, and even the sun!
lots of tv type apps like iplayer, 4 on demand, Sky go (if you have sky), ITV player, TVCatchup etc.
The lovefilm app is good if you use that service. actually there's two apps. one for managing your renatals and one for actually streaming movies.
I use the apple office type software quite a bit (pages, numbers, keynote)
imdb and flixter a great apps if you'e into movies/cinema etc.
I work in stock exchanges and news apps like Thomson Reuters News Pro and Bloomberg are pretty good in that area.
Star Walk on the iphone is great but on the iphone is brilliant! (its an astronomy type app).
music wise you've got Soundhound and shazam
I could go on but thats a start... and these are all ipad or universal apps

thanks masseur!
You reminded me to try out the Apple Bluetooth keyboard that I bought in Japan with Pages!
I have Sky and will download Sky go and the other players!
Thanks again, I will check these out and have fun!
Oh! Do you use the stock browser? I will research about it and other choices.
I found a cool design Japanese bag with a draw string that is perfect for my iPad even with the Smart Cover in place!
