Meh. Should just shell out the extra 100 for the new ipad.

Would've considered the Ipad 2 as a cheap upgrade if it was like 299.

It's just going to be the iPad going forward, this one that you watch today is the "new iPad", it's not the 2.

I think they are trying to make a statement that the iPad is more of an everyday computing device by taking away any desginations (2, 3, HD etc..)

Just like the Macbook Pro doesn't get a new name with each update....

Yea no siri just voice dictation.


They should put it on all their devices. Mac iPad iPhone iPod. And then use iCloud so the devices will be in sync.

So it'll be with you where ever you are.

Kind of like Jarvis in Ironman.

Looks like I should be able to get a nice deal on a refurb iPad 2. Then I can get into arguments with people, "What do you mean your iPad is better than mine? Yours is just iPad, mine is iPad 2"

I get a voicemail from my tech sales rep asking if I'd like to reserve the new iPad..."I know I'm asking a retarded question...but, just making my calls...and in case you WANT one..."

I e-mail him back: "Mitchell, you like asking rhetorical questions?"




I suppose I can get one. Who wants to pay me an inflated amount?

I'll start off at $1500. It'll help pay the winter tires I need for the Countryman.




Miz...I know you want it. PM me, baby.

Well there's no CF on them, so I guess the amount won't be that inflated.

Steve's dead. Like Whitney. Who cares what Steve thinks.


But, I like the direction of not numbering them anymore.

That or wait for the 2's to drop in price. I'm sure they will discount them somewhat soon.

Amazon lowered the trade-in value from $460 to $415 for the iPad2, Black, 64GB, Wifi only model as I expected them to. Glad I secured the higher rate last night, now I just gotta hope they still honer the higher price.

^^ It has face detection.

If you are Hot it is FaceTime HD

If you are ugly, it reverts to just Facetime.
