    Apple iPad 1 or iPad2 what should I buy

    ok Im gonna buy a iPad probably the 16gb Wifi. (I can tether from my iPhone)

    I have seen the refurb iPad1's for £289 and the iPad2 is £399. I will never use the camera feature (I have a iPhone4) so I cant decide is the iPad2 worth the extra £110 or not....what do u think.

    Just make sure u can teather bud , some iphones have hot spot feature turned off by provider and charge fee to use . Which is unreal if ya ask me . Just in case it sways u towards a 3g version with gps . Or a android phone :-) lol . I in your case would get a mint second hand 3gs iPad 1. Depends if u worry bout warranty I guess .

    Get the iPad 2. It's quite a bit slimmer and a lot quicker and when you come to sell it it will hold more value. The camera is good for FaceTime as well.

    iPad 2 is faster, jailbreak your iPhone and install MyWi if you phone can't act as a hot spot.

    Simply Electronics seem to be cheaper than anywhere else by about £30. Check them out before you order as I have never used them.
