doubt it will be more revolutionary and the original, probably just address the flaws of the original design.

still getting more tempted by a tablet, despite hating them

I can barely contain my ambivalence.

But this is how Apple do it. Release a product with many things missing, people buy it any way, then they release the version as it should have been in the first place and people buy it again!

Why would anyone look forward to the release of a boring overpriced piece of technology. Hardly revolutionary, it is just a shinier version of the 1st with another bell and whistle.

As for the fact that the price will come down, reading up on this seems it will either not drop the price and drop the product or only drop it $100 or so...

decent read here - https://techcrunch.com/2010/11/24/ipad-2/

Thumbs Up

Apple’s much anticipated iPad 2 was announced Wednesday, and the specs to both the original iPad and Motorola’s recently announced Xoom Android tablet.

I'm far far more interested in the NoteSlate I posted about in another thread because it is actually innovative and interesting. iPad? That's so 2010.

They're nice, but I can't think of anything I'd possibly use it for.

This. Im sure some people could make use of it, but it wouldnt fit into my lifestyle at all. I would much rather but a netbook for a couple of hundred with a much better spec.

Acer do one with 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM etc for £200.

You don't seem to get much bang for buck with the iPad, plus you HAVE to use apples operating system, can't be modified, install your own programs etc.

I would rather have a macbook air because I am an apple whore and I like it.

Ipad 2 meh, Iphone 5 will be the same spec when it comes out.

Ipads and tablets are usually for people who dont have decent smart phones IMO

They could release a pile of turd and as long as it had an Apple logo on it everyone would pay stupid amounts of money for it.

I have to say though the smart cover thing they are releasing for it gets top marks for innovation, its brilliant.

Im thinking of getting the Dell Inspiron Duo Tablet PC.

It folds down quite small, and rather funkily, and I have windows 7 on my finger tips, rather than a shitty OS that can't really do much with and get bored of after a week.

Granted it doesn't have 3g or a camera, I don't know about you, but I don't know many people that actually take their Ipads out with them....

Not only that but the Laptop is probably cheaper too, with more functionality.

According to my facebook, 6 of my friends have already bought one. That was before the spec was even released. No doubt once they actually get them they will be showing me all the features to explain why they just HAD to buy one.... before they knew about those features...

If you want an Ipad now is a great time to buy one second hand. If you want an ipad 2, you need shooting in the face as it's not much of an upgrade and you now know for a FACT that this time next year the ipad 3 will be out. And you'll just HAVE to buy one for all those amazing new features you know nothing about .... Rolling Eyes

I hope this isn't just that bit that can fold to be a stand? If so, that's not an Apple idea...

Whilst this doesn't apply to me for an iPad 2, if I took this approach, I would never buy anything...

Why would I not buy the first, then when something better comes along I sell the first and buy the second? I've been through 4 phones over the past 12 months and you'd be surprised how cheaply you can do it with some wise trading.

I wouldn't know, but I saw cases on eBay quite a few months ago with that design.

I've been waiting for the 2nd to be released.

I'm an Apple Slut anyway, and this'll be easier than carting my brand new (£2300!) MacBook Pro around in a rucksack, or passing it around my mates to look at stuff on the internet, or whatever.

NVIDIA's Tegra Supertablets look interesting. Any one of these will be superior to Crapple.

Speaking to someone last night say basically said that apple were awesome because if you buy a PC you get locked into using windows.
Forgetting of course that you can run mac OS & linux on a PC too, but when buying a mac you're locking yourself to apple hardware AND software.

I'll buy a tablet some day, but i think i'll wait for the honeycomb ones to get a bit more universal.

Yeah, because you can't install Windows on Intel Macs...
