this doesnt sound like much but its a major differense in gaming, video playing video/photo editing and basic auto cad work and art programs ... if all you do is read books or surfing the internet and texting then yes its not much of a difference.
What is incorrect?

Besides the obvious hardware improvement, at the moment of the release, the iPad2 was very similar in terms of operating system and apps.

The jump in hardware is not a big one, not in my opinion or to justify getting rid of old iPad to get a new one. As a matter of fact, there is a thread here were most iPad1 users decided to wait for iPad3. On my case, I returned and exchange because I bought mine few days before release.

The axis gyroscope could be great for you, but not a big difference on most common or regular users. The CPU was the biggest improvement.

But as a reading device, which is why most people here use the iPad, there were not major differences in screen and/or weight.

If you use your iPad as a game device, not reading, then I agree with you. But my comment is in the context of reading devices, not a game tablet.

Now, this is my personal opinion, but for content creation I still prefer a regular laptop or notebook. I do not believe tablets are good enough for serious content creation work, like photo editing, autocad, word processing ... no yet, at least ...
