I am getting it because I have the OG iPad and thought that it was not enough to upgrade to the iPad 2. Now it is for me

I know a lot of folks are chomping at the bit to get their hands on the latest and greatest. but to tell you the truth, I won't feel so anxious until I have a chance to see the new iPad up close and personnal to make sure I'm getting value for the amount of money it'll cost. I currently have the iPad classic, but no 3G/4G and I know I want that much. So here's the deal, the new one will have to be quite noticibly slicker and quicker or I just might hang and get an iPad 2.
Anyone else out there hanging back so they can wait until the fenzy dies down and they can take a more objective look at the new iPad or are waiting to buy-in for some other reason? I'm curious what the thinking about this is out there....
I have the iPad2, and won't be upgrading... the retina display would be nice, as would the processor speed and extra RAM... but not for what I use it for... it's just not something I can justify, financially....

And now my pet peeve... I wish to God people would stop making up names for Apple's devices. There is NO such thing as an iTouch (it's the iPod Touch) and WTH is an 'iPad classic'? If you have the original iPad, THAT's what it is - the original iPad... not sure Apple even calls it the "iPad 1", but it DEFINITELY IS NOT 'the iPad Classic'. *SMH*

With you on that. Thanks to the price drop, I opted for the iPad2 last weekend and am happy with it. The Retina display is nice but that, RAM, and 4X graphics aren't enough to justify it. Saved the hundred for gas in the car (GRUMBLE).
I'm in the same boat. I've the iPad "classic" with 32GB wifi+3G. I no longer use the 3G as I decided to use my iPhone 4 as a Wi-fi hotspot when away from home (4GB is far more than I ever use for both devices).I know a lot of folks are chomping at the bit to get their hands on the latest and greatest. but to tell you the truth, I won't feel so anxious until I have a chance to see the new iPad up close and personnal to make sure I'm getting value for the amount of money it'll cost.

Yeah, i suppose a device on which the screen is the main deal, double the resolution isn't justifiable. No matter how the device is designed, or what guts it has, the screen is what you look at the whole time and how you interact with it.
You've saved a hundred but your ipad experience isn't nearly as great on a fuzzy screen. It's like going to the eye doctor and spending 399 on a pair of glasses with one frame when another hundred will get you both frames.
I've got to be honest ladies and gents, I think I'll stick with the iPad 2 as awesome as retina is, and use that cash to put towards my first Mac. When does the MBA refresh?
How long was the iPad 2 take from the launch day to get back in stock last year? I am gonna wait for all the reviews coming in the next few days and decide which iPad to buy.
Thanks
