iPad 2

This should be interesting. iPad 2 is faster, thinner, lighter; same battery, display resolution.

It has a camera for facetime and photobooth but no retina display. Also the metal edge around the iPad is ever so slightly more thin.

Also the new case looks interesting.

I picked up my friend's iPad and the first thing I noticed was that it was really heavy. I was thinking, how are you supposed to hold and use this? But I think the lightness will make it better for everyone.

So anyone going to by iPad 2? (including the ones who haven't bought the first iPad)

    Nope! Because the next one will be coming. This is likely an in-between model which is going to have almost nothing new except the camera.

    I don't get the tablet thing, when I have a laptop and a smartphone already, and a tablet seems to be the worst of both.

    "Apple says its processor is twice as fast, yet it offers the same 10-hour battery life as today's iPad. "
    wonder how they did that with the same battery?

    And the functionality really doesn't wow me either.

    It does look very interesting, hmm but as for buying it.. I'd wait for reviews first. Even then I'm not sure, it has quite a hefty price tag for a student such as myself -_- Following, looking forward to see you posting more ;D

    Definitely not. First of all, it's really expensive! Second, it won't let me play around with the interior of the OS or other things that Apple doesn't approve of. I'd rather just get a nice netbook for that price.

    iPad2, a few more things than the iPad, but only 50% of the features they have ready, they'll release another 10% for the iPad3 next year.

    Apple is evil.

  35. AndyMarch 3, 2011 at 10:08 AM

    I dunno, I felt like the heft of the iPad was well deserved. It made it feel substantial. The only thing that bugs me about the new one is that they made the display the same resolution. I mean, the iPhone almost has the same resolution. It's not really pixel dense, they could have at least bumped it up to 720p compatible, you know?

    iPad2 seems like the most pointless purchase ever, I loved Apple 'til I heard they were yet again dragging a failure on.

  37. ErasmusMarch 3, 2011 at 10:21 AM

    I still don't really see the use of the ipad. Everyone I know, (girlfriend included)just uses it like a toy. If she has to do anything serious, she uses her macbook. Ipad is basically just used for Bejeweled, which is how I figured it would be used when I first heard about it.

  44. ColinMarch 3, 2011 at 12:12 PM

    It's still not something I'd buy. I'd rather have a netbook with a tangible keyboard before I got an iPad. Also, I own an iPhone so it seems kind of redundant for me. Until they have features that the iPhone doesn't (don't say CPU/RAM, they will probably be included in the new iPhone in June/July) I won't be buying one.

  66. Toast BurntMarch 4, 2011 at 2:51 PM

    This is yet another (although the MAIN) reason I do not buy apple products. They keep coming out with something better, which is fine...but the older stuff becomes obsolete. If it wasn't so ridiculously expensive, it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal, but they charge insane prices all for looks. I can understand a version 2 and MAYBE a version 3... I like companies who make their products better. But much past that is too hard on the consumer.

    I follow and support those who do likewise.

    I can't imagine an original iPad owner would also buy the iPad 2. Such expenditures...

    Apple need to keep pushing themselves every year, though. I think a lot of people were hoping for an iPhone4-style design on this one. Hope it delivers on other fronts.
