HUGE update but some things like HD and speaker location and screen res stay the same.
Give them enough to have it be a fucking GAME CHANGER and sell like hotcakes.
Then, in the fall, hit 'em hard again with the iPad3.
Motorola is weeping right about now.
Yeah, I have to agree that Apple kind of smoke and mirrored us on this one and then further third railed us with OS upgrades that will actually be available on the first gen iPads as well but the presentation would lead those less astute to believe they need an iPad 2 to take advantage.
Brav-fucking-o.
Exactly.
I like the cameras on the new one, but don't NEED them.
I like the dual procs, but don't know if I NEED them.
Gyroscope... probably don't NEED.
Memory... that might matter.
Having a little scratch pad that exports projects that I can turn into "real" projects, with enough hard drive space to make this sensible on a month long trip out of the country... THAT I NEED.
Kinda thinking about getting one of the refurbs at this point.
The 64GB iPad1 is $529
The 64GB iPad2 is $699
Not a HUGE difference in price, but given what I'd expect to use it for regularly, it sort of starts to matter.
Dunno, though...
It IS my birthday, after all.
