Mari, I use Bragg for Health Drink and seasoning salads as well. My children also love it too. I also use just plain white vinegar for sanitizing around the house! So yes, Vinegar is strong stuff :)
If it's the same price I'd go with the new one. The only downsides I've heard so far is the battery drains faster than iPad 2, and magazines don't render well on the retina display.
Definitely the new one. Battery life is virtually identical on both model, but the display is just plain killer. Once you have seen the new one, you won't be touching the 2.
New one, no doubt about it. The screen's gorgeous, and the battery life is great. I use mine for a couple hours every night and I can go several days without a recharge.
Get one with more space on it, too. It's not like you can expand later; get a 32gb or 64gb and load up on movies and apps without worrying about space.
Thanks for all the comments, folks. Please keep 'em coming. Sounds like the $100 difference for the iPad2 doesn't mean much to those of you who have the new model.
