Currently, there are 4 "generations" (yearly-ish updates) of the iPad:
- iPad
- iPad 2
- iPad 3 (No official version number. Was known as "The New iPad" at release)
- iPad 4 (No official version number. Minor refresh of iPad 3)
There is also a iPad mini which was released at the same time as the 4th generation of the iPad.
All iPads starting with the second generation are capable of running iOS 6.0.1, the current iOS operating system as of November 2012. iPad 2 was also the first model that supported a rear facing camera.
