Apple Makes iOS8 Available to the Masses
iOS8 iPad support
For sure iOS8 is available for the iPad2. I really didn't think it would still be getting the love from Apple.
It is often possible to put newer versions of iOS on older equipment, however this often has the result of making the older equipment basically unusable, like what infamously happened to the iPhone 3G is someone attempted to install iOS 4.0 on it.
