Bottom line, if you liked the first iPad-you are really going to love the iPad 2.
For those that avoided the first iPad because of the lack of Flash or the curated vs. open experience thing, then nothing here will change their mind.  |
Thanks, looking forward to getting it. I was going to hold out for iPad 3 but realize that the resale vaule of my iPad 1 would only go down with time, so decided to sell it and use the proceeds towards the purchase. I should net more than half of the cost from the sale, so not too bad.
Upgrading to the lastest model is no worse than upgrading your home computer to the next level. May not look that much different but there's always improvements inside.
Funny, folks are going "wacko" over the smart cover! Course, I ordered one too. Will be nice to have "instant on and off" with the cover. Very clever on Apple's part. For the back, I have ordered a Ipad 3 Gelaskin. I have one on my Ipad and it looks great and provides protection from scratching the shiny metal back.
Finally got my confirmation email from Apple today for order placed Friday morning @ 1AM. They must have really been hit by online orders! I look for items to start shipping tomorrow as the cover is suppose to be here on Tuesday and the ipad shipping sometime this week.
