Until then, I’m fine using my laptop for such things. Facetime will excite me more when its more widespread and, honestly, when I can run a game over it.
Similarly, the addition of cameras are cool, but not compelling. As a practical matter, I’m fairly certain I’ll need to buy an Ipad3 when it comes out, if only because developers are lazy, and we’re going to start seeing games designed for the more powerful engine that will slog on the ipad 1, but I think that threshold is a ways down the road. Still, as a well documented ipad enthusiast who makes rigorous, daily use of his ipad 1, is it worth the upgrade? Honestly, probably not.Ī lot of this is because I’m still incredibly happy with my Ipad’s performance and form factor, so incremental improvements in both aren’t going to move my needle much.

I still look forward to other tablets pushing the market as a whole forward (and I’m definitely looking forward to HP’s WebOS tablet – that excites me much more than Android or RIM at this point) but I’m also glad Apple keeps coming out strong, because i think that creates necessary pressure. I feel like Apple has re-asserted its place of prominence in the market by once again being the price leader, something I still can’t believe I’m saying with a straight face. They’re actually really impressive from a technical perspective, and the promised increases in graphical power alone seem to hint at fantastic future uses.
Now, I don’t want to sound too jaded about these points. It’s thinner, lighter, more powerful, has cameras (front and back) and costs the same. Engadget has a good summary of the details, but there are really few surprises. So, the Ipad 2 comes out on March 11th, and we finally got to see what the fuss was about yesterday, in one of Apple’s now-standard presentations scattered hither and yon across the web.
