Maybe Apple will make me eat my words, but...

As a current iPad owner, I'm really not that fussed agout iPad 2. Two cameras and an SD slot? A screen that is better that the current one, which already seems more than fine for me?

Feels very much like creAting a new version for the sake of having a new version to sell, not because it will be significantly better.


The iPad's screen is /really/ low resolution. I mean, yes: it is "fine". But frankly, so was the non-retina iPhone screens. However, now that I'm using the iPhone 4, everything, and I mean absolutely everything, from my iPad and old iPhones to my laptop look like they are made out of horrible blocks, and reading on any of them is frustrating. If that were the /only/ difference between the two units, I think that would easily be enough.
