An iPad mini is smaller, but cheaper. It might just meet your needs?

Korale4kq,
Did you use a specific app for speak therapy? I understand our son (almost 3) most of the time but others do not. I need to encourage him to announciate properly. I know he hears what I say but he does not repeat it very well. I will discuss this with his Doc at his 3 year appointment also.
 BTW: we do not have an Ipad yet but these threads convince me it is time to invest in one soon.
Thanks,
TY

I have used many apps. One of the first apps that I used with my son was a free app by preschool university called ABC magic. It is a very basic app tha teaches phonics. At this point all my son file only say  "ga."
He was engaged and responded to the children's voices and started copying the sounds. 

He responded very well to the preschool prep apps  And in fact he  was reading those words before he was saying  anything spontaneously.

Bob Books apps helped him break down words.

I used an app called articulation (I think) to be able to isolate beginning, middle an ending sounds. I believe that is the app ith the recording feature.

Just having him sit in front of the iPad and record himself helped too. He was able to pay it back and get a better idea of  what sounded wrong.
Any ABA apps, or other apps created for children with autism are likely going to be beneficial with speech. We used a lot of those.

I know there are more, when I have more time I will have to go through my account and see what apps we used and liked. Most of the apps we used were articulation apps. But we have little need for them now.

However I do need to start searching for apps to help with his stammer and his semantic pragmatic issues.

Thanks Korrale4kq! I just feel reluctant to spend $500+ for a toddler's need. My goal is to get her to know technology and, at the same time, get her engaged through the many wonderful apps that you guys post here (esp. EuroMath). My worry is that if my kid somehow doesn't take fancy of the iPad, it would become an expensive toy for her mom. But I trust you that it's worth it. I'll find a way to buy one. Thanks.

Frankly I bought the  iPad for my son to use... That was the initial reason. But in the end it is mine. He borrows it with supervision. And I trust him with it. But I would never give him free range.
If your 2 year old doesn't like it now, she will most certainly grow into it.

The major problem with technology has always been obsolescence. If I buy the iPad now and my kid doesn't like it, by next year there will be a newer iPad with about the same price point. If I rather wait, I would save some money and will either get the new iPad for the same price, or the older (the then-current version of) iPad with a reduced price.

BTW, for iPad: which storage capacity do you guys have? 16GB? 32GB? 64GB? or 128GB?

I have 16gb with absolutely no issues. However I don't have many movies or music on mine. I have over a  thousand photos and hundreds of books and PDF files.  I do put apps back in the App Store frequently and when I retire them so I have limited apps at one give time. Never more than 4 pages of apps I think at one time. 3 is better. I like minimalism.

 I have an ipad2 and I have absolutely no desire to upgrade anytime soon. I don't think the technology and the capabilities are going as obsolete as fast they do with a PC.

I agree with Korrale.

My iPad is the first and so far almost every app works fine.
