I just bought my iPad 2 a few days ago...had it all up and running, when it suddenly shut down as I was deleting gmail messages. It's totally frozen now. Holding the start button down for 20 sec does not work.
Is there a solution for this?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content by doing it, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Same thing happened to me about 6 months ago, and a reset got it working again.

THAT WORKED!!! Thank-you! I hope this isn't going to happen all the time. Have you had it happen again?
No, it's only happened to me once (within a couple of weeks of buying it). Judging by the posts that I've seen on here quite a few other people have had the same thing happen.
I am not speaking for King Penguin but merely trying to put your mind at ease. The iPad screen can freeze from time to time. It has happened to me a couple of times in the six months that I have had it.
I would not be concerned about an occasional incident like you had but if it begins to happen with frequency - say three or four times each week - there may be a problem like a bad app or corrupt email that you will need to deal with. No need to fret.
Enjoy your new iPad2!
Thanks for your help!
Thank-you!!!
