Detailed review
I love the form factor and portability of the iPad 2. I use it more than my phone or computer these days, even at work and at a friend's house. The wealth of apps is lovely as well, but there are still apps I'd like to use that do not take advantage of the tablet UI.

It is iOS' simplcity that is my problem. As an avid Android user, I like to customize my devices to give them a fresh look and feel from time to time. I also like to use some non-stock apps because they are better than the native versions. However, one cannot set an alternate browser as the default, and it frustrates me; nor does it support flash content that I love to enjoy on the web; nor am I able to download a file from the web, which just sucks as a go-to, internet-connected device.

I will be selling my iPad 2 to return to the world of Android. I got to use a Xoom and loved it.
