i wouldnt get an IPad 2, wait for the Ipad 3... It should be out in the next couple months, and will have the retna display.. 2X the resolution of the ipad 1 and 2.... it will also have the A6 processor or an A5X as the rumors are saying.. instead of the A5... Don't buy an Apple product right before they release the next version, you will pay the same price for "old" technology, as their price point always stays pretty constant they just add a bunch more crap into the new version at the same price. The ipad 3 is also rumored to have an 8mega pixel camera as well....

A lot of the current topics relate to the ipad 3 since it is seculated to be released in the next month or so....


How immediately does she want a replacement, if she can wait a month or 2, i would say ipad 3, if she has to have one by the end of the week (or so), then i guess ipad 2 is the only "Apple" option.
