Well said Sieghard, someone earlier was asking if you are a first iPad owner, which one you should go for. Personally, if you are getting a new iPad, and if you are a first time user, i will suggest either you wait for a month or so to get an iPad mini 2nd Gen, or an iPad air. Reason why i said so is that, like iPad first gen, iPad II will soon be unsupported, with the next iOS or two. However, if you get the air or the mini 2nd ge, or even the iPad4 retina, you will have at least a good run for at least 3 or 4 iOS before it fading out. As far as if you should upgrade from iPad II to iPad air is like asking if you should upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 8 isn't it. If you are happy with what you got, without lagging too much, then, i don't see any reason why you should upgrade. My housemate use an iPad 2, and running iOS 7.03. It is amazing how moderate fast it is. Even with VO turn on, i don't seem any laggish sign. I would say, iPad 2 on iOS7 is much more smoother compare to iPhone 4 on iOS 7.
