iPad 2 rocks
Just one more reason that the iPad 2 appears to be superior to other tablets such as the Motorola Xoom on the marketplace: http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/03/02/hands-on-with-the-ipad-2/ Go check out this video that features the new magnetic cover for the soon to be released iPad 2. As is usual with Apple products, there seem to be no end to ultracool features that are actually somewhat helpful. Not only is the iPad 2 a great piece of hardware, but accessories developed for this tablet are cool as well. In this video, you see an incoming call as well. Although the iPad is not designed to replace a mobile phone, a user can use a wired headset or the built-in speaker and microphone and place phone calls over Wi-Fi or 3G using a VoIP application.
Only downside I can see so far is the proprietary nature of Apple and their products. Developers need a license to develop apps for the iPhone and iPad. There are also some claims that you don’t have good file access on the iPad, even with the installation of iFile.
So it would appear that straight out of the box tends to lean way towards the iPad 2. If you have the desire (in this case – NEED to) modify the tablet and OS, go ahead and pick up a Xoom. Just be ready to have to do a lot of changing to get it to work the way you want. That in addition to the price you will have to pay, need I say more? For the mass consumer, iPad tends to be a better experience.

Endomondo says 2.5 miles. Not 3. Did he fulfill obligations?
