 By: ocwatching : March 2nd, 2011-12:04
click here I have been waiting for this upgrade as thought I am an early adopter and an Apple nerd, I usually don't get the first iteration, i.e., iPhone 3g. Probably going to go with the 32GB + 3G. Was hoping for resolution bump but I guess they have to ... 

Unfortunately ...

Are you aware that Apple is offering a $100 back in the U.S. to all those that purchased an original Ipad within the last few months....see if they are doing that in the E.U. also.....guess they felt guilty! Also I have seen a couple of articles (one auct... 

Hey Laurens !

I'll check it out, but i think Europe is a bit too conservative for things like that I'll give my regards to our Teddybear .. Filip

I see that there are 2 colors of the new iPad. I'm thinking of getting the iPad2 for my parents as they are having fun with the iPod Touch, for me I'm probably going Android. -MW

yeah...

that was what I was thinking about the ipad... it would be a pretty easy tool for the folks to get online.. maybe an old ipad 1 for the folks as well...for me..

Maybe or I may wait

for the next version that may be released in September. My guess it will have a major screen upgrade. JerryW

I kicked this around a bit too...

its chatter but who knows, most chatter has came true. But my wife was like, you have already waited a year, you are going to wait another 6 months? Then what, another 6 month based on another rumor? Then again, she was like, if there is another upgrade i...

do you have an iPad?

Hello octagonPower, do you have a iPad or other tablet? -MW

There was so much iPad2 hype. Let down if I may say so

 
 By: AnthonyTsai : March 2nd, 2011-20:38
What did Apple add to the iPad2? Seems like it just added cameras, a faster processor, and colorful cases for it. It still doesn't have any memory card slots like a SD card nor does it have Flash support. Not much of a difference from iPad1. I don't own a... 

Yeah...I have to agree the hype was way more than the product..

You can consider this a mid-year upgrade I guess. Did watch an Engadget video of hands-on with ipad2 and the speed improvements are impressive for a handheld. I am still blown away at how fast Iphone 4 is compared to 3G. Does anyone really need a tablet? ... 

it's suppose to be faster.....

 
 By: DRMW : March 3rd, 2011-11:01
If the changes are similar to the iPad Touch compared to the current generation one, the speed and slight mods is definitely worth the upgrade. I've yet to use face time but I can see how that would be a nice feature. -MW

Getting one for sure.

Haven't missed an iPhone version, and not about to miss an iPad.

what do you do with the old models?

 
 By: ocwatching : March 2nd, 2011-21:33
lol...

I love my iPad....

and most probably get the new one and give the other one to my son... he constantly asks for it... Cheers

While I was an early adoptee ...

... of the first iPad and use it all the time, there are not enough features in the iPad2 to make me upgrade, so I will be waiting for more significant models in the future. This news was devastating to my 9-year-old son who was expecting the iPad to be p... 

Maybe you should.....

 
 By: MiniCooper : March 6th, 2011-01:53
reconsider.... My son (8) is ecstatic as he is getting my iPad.... Some improvements for iPad 2 but the biggest advantage is that I ave an excuse to give the old one to my son so he can get more educated and practice with the new technology..... ( besides... 

I'll be getting one but not if I had ipad1 already...

 
 By: sidneyc : March 8th, 2011-15:10
The only improvements are thinner, lighter, faster, camera. The ipad1 is already thin and light enough to carry around. It's not like the difference between a DSLR and pocket sized cameras. The speed difference may be huge, but ipad1 copes with existing a...
