I have some familiarity with iPad2 as my son uses one. My understanding is that there were 4 iPad versions/generations before the current new iPad Air. Do you group members know of the basic differences between the iPad1-4 generations (or of another source, perhaps a table or list) to aid me in deciding which to purchase? Also, any suggestions about where to look for the best price would be much appreciated. I may not necessarily need the latest version, and I need it to be as inexpensive as possible.

You've gotten some good replies -- I think that one factor in your
decision should be a careful consideration of what you use the iPad for.
If you read graphic-intensive books on it (I use it a lot every day
for reading scanned PDF files of sheet music) then you should consider
at least an iPad4 because of the big increase in CPU speed and graphics
co-processor speed over the previous versions.
If you mainly use it for text-based things such as e-mails and reading
novels and such, then an iPad2 might be just the ticket for you.
And also consider your storage needs carefully -- I would love a 128GB
iPad because my 64GB iPad4 is crowded and as I add more sheet music I
frequently have to remove some other apps to make room. And I don't
have any mp3 files nor video files on my iPad4.
