iPad 2

Big news for the Apple product fans this week. This will will be the release of the iPad 2. This is something alot of people have been waiting for since the successful release of the original iPad. Even I was anticipating news to see what the new iPad would have over my original. But you may be disappointed with what I have to say.

I believe the iPad 2 was unveiled last week, and talks about it had begun long after that. Many people, including the people I call "iPad Owner Wannabes" had a close on it in hopes that this release could drop the price of the original. With the unveiling, they showed a slimmer version with a black and white option. This one is promised to be faster than the original, plus a front and back camera.

But there was some disappointments. The rumor of a SD card on the side turned out to be false. After hearing the rumors, I felt that it was a good idea because it could increase the GB storage. And for other people, it was a disappointment because of no significant changes.

For me, there was nothing about it that would make me drop my old one for a flashy new one. I actually like how thick mine is. It gives me the feel that I am actually holding something. I don't like the thought of having something so small that it could slip and break in a second. I also don't see a need for a camera on a device that big. For me, I don't skype, nor do I do any sort of video communication via the internet. So I am content with what I have right now.

I have many friends and co-workers that have been dying to get their hands on one, whether it is the original or new. I have been doing some research, and just found on walmart.com that they are selling the originals $100 cheaper. I have told everybody to rush and buy it because I fear that as soon as the 2 comes out, the original, plus the cheap prices will be gone.

So unless you are a buisnessman and see some great purpose for those cameras, I would recommend you go ahead and buy the original. Because I don't see many carrying their iPad into Disney World or to the Zoo for some family photos. And other than that one feature, I don't know why you want the original anyways. So go with that while it is so cheap!

So with the release coming in a few days, will you be buying it? Who will be trading their original in for a new one? Who will just stick with their old one, or buy the older one? Comment and tell me!
