I've become addicted to the touch screen interface and my Ipad2. Folks say there was no reason to get the Ipad2 but I disagree. Just the form factor alone and lighter weight has me reaching for it more often than for the old Ipad. So much so that I can't justify buying an Imac for home though I'm tempted so I can develop apps since I don't get the support I need here to be able to download the software onto the Imacs we have. (They got Imacs at my recommendation but put them in public areas where I can't download anything to them or keep others from accessing what I download.)
