If you're running an iPad 2 with iOS 6, you'll be fine from a performance perspective. But having a 1024x768 screen was never something I could live with... which is why I could never bring myself to buy one. I jumped at the chance to buy a 3, with 2048x1536 res... and sold it back in April for the rumored announcement of the 5 in May. Well, that never happened... and since my wife had a 2 before I upgraded her to a 4, sadly I got relegated to the 2.
When I upgraded to iOS 7, it transformed the 2 into a steaming pile of horse shit... and an upgrade to the 5 has been a long time coming.
The 5 is, however, a very nice device. Very thin, very svelte, sexy, sophisticated looking. Black... stealth like. It's the first time Apple has had a full line of similarly designed mobile devices... and I'm now fully impressed.
My biggest gripe when I saw the iPad for the first time was the insanely huge bezel. It was always unnecessarily huge, and greatly detracted from the aesthetics.
The 4 seems like a lead brick now, compared to the Air. You really can't go back.
I'm quite happy with it.
