In certain courtrooms, I&#8217;d have to turn the iPad just so to get a signal.  Verizon&#8217;s network is ubiquitous.  While AT&amp;T is purportedly faster, I&#8217;d prefer ubiquity and decent speed, to spotty coverage and top speeds.  <\/p>\n<p>The iPad 2 is noticeably faster than the iPad.  It&#8217;s lighter, and since I use the iPad as basically a book at night in bed, the weight difference is nice.  I thought the new cover would not stay on, especially in my bag.  But once it closes, it doesn&#8217;t move.  <\/p>\n<p>The cameras on the iPad 2 are shockingly lousy.  And Face Time is basically useless since no one I know has Face Time. <\/p>\n<p>I posted a 10 App list on my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chetson.com\/blog\">Raleigh criminal blog<\/a> and thought I&#8217;d share it here, taking out one application which is of use only to lawyers.
