I purchased one of these a few days after the iPad 2 was announced. The only flaw I detect is a static "click" through the loudspeaker when I turn it off with the power button. I assume this is not normal, but doesn't much matter because I typically have the volume off or very low.

It is awkward to use (without a hardware keyboard) for Flyertalk moderation, although that can be a good way to practice the Copy/Cut/Paste routines. Also, I have had problems losing composed text in one browser tab when switching to another to copy a link to another thread or a rule.
