RE: OT: Anyone going to fork out the $$ for this?
They are saying faster processor and better camera. Also maybe Siri being added. I just bought the ipad2 as well. The thing is your gonna be happy witH the 2 and won't know the big difference if there is one cause you can't miss what you never had. The 2 is very nice so don't sweat it bud.

Sell the iPad 2 since you can still get almost full price for it and then use that money to get the iPad 3 lol. I cant wait to see whats different in it.I heard they were gonna have the 10inch and then a 8 inch screen one too to compete with the other smaller tablets.

It's not worth doing this. The 2 will serve you fine. The 3 will release in March but unless your lucky or wanna fight for one it will be a couple moths before you put your hands on a 3 likely. Plus with any new item comes little bugs.

I just got my ipad2 for christmas and I love it. Sometimes I hate the auto type feature and I'm not good at the copy and paste thing with it, but hey, I also hate I can't hook it up my printer but I kept my pc for those things. I used to work on that base as a chef. I live in Cheyenne now, small world .. I will not be jumping on the new one, I will keep this one until it doesn't work anymore..lol...

+1, auto type saves my butt a times but it's a pain for names etc cause it thinks your wrong and corrects but if you slow down a hair it's cool. The copy feature is tough at times but does work once you get used to it. I have my PC for the important stuff like shipping labels etc. I mean this is a tablet not a PC so we have small issues we can't use it for. I am more than happy though.

I think we all need to advance as technology does or we will be left behind in the stone ages...lol At least that's what I told my parents years ago, then I finally bought my mother a blackberry phone and she was lost. lol
I'm only 34 and trust me, I'm still learning myself. Not saying anyone needs to go out and get the latest gadget or what not, but IMO I think we all at some point will have to "Tech it up" eventually, even if it's not by choice.
I love that if I take a picture on my phone its on my tablet too. This saves a ton of time for me and makes life easier. If you have kids its a HUGE plus for sure. It's the same with music. Anyone knocking the Apple products has likely never had them. Once you go Apple it's not easy to go back. So if your not into that then steer clear. I warn you if you get I one you will likely love it and always want Apple products for the convenience.
