It has been confirmed that next Wednesday iPad 2 will be revealed. So has or will begin preparing to buy it by selling their first gen iPad?
Based on what I am hearing, I can skip gen2 of the iPad... to wait for the retina (or near-retina) screen on the iPad3... the main addition of iPad2 appears to be the front-facing camera... ok, I guess... but my current iPad is good enough for me for now.
I'm more anxious to see the new MBPs tomorrow... and the iPhone5 in June.
Im waiting until Apple makes their official statement on the next iPad before i make any rash decisions.
Well from the rumors I can almost guarantee that it will be thinner and lighter even if only on paper. It will have a faster processor and more RAM.
Thinner means next to nothing since you need a case. The faster processor and ram only matter if you're seeing lag or if things aren't running smooth. Until we see iOS 5 on an ipad, we don't really know if this will matter.
But here's the reason to upgrade...
What really matters is what you can get for the old ipad versus the cost of a new one. The difference is what you're really paying which isn't all that much. 100? 200? To get another year of apple care on your old ipad will run 99 dollars alone. May as well sell old one and get a new one that has apple care.
I get really bothered by how easily people embrace the "Thinner is Better" trend without even thinking it through. Thin is good but theres a point where that 2mm thickness results in losing 2hrs of battery life. If they make the iPad thinner without losing battery life then thats fine, but in the end I wont notice because I keep mine in a beefy case to protect it.Thinner means next to nothing since you need a case.
Exactly. And lets not forget that Apple wants to win the Tablet war so they may even be more competitive with pricing.But here's the reason to upgrade...
