any thought? i was considering one of these and now i am thinking there will be alot of new 1st gen for sale? i want to buy one, but 1 or 2??

DetroitSportsFan · 03-03-2011, 02:42 AM

iPad 2 looks nice, but not enough to get me to upgrade. Maybe next year.....

cheaitsjustin · 03-03-2011, 02:48 AM

If you're going to buy an iPad, buy the second one because it's only $100 more.

BStecke · 03-03-2011, 03:03 AM

I'll be at the Apple store to get mine as soon as I can get there after work next Friday. Hopefully they have some left. I was REALLY hoping for a preorder.

ylerT · 03-03-2011, 04:30 AM

Best Buy is going to have them available on release date as well. I'm going to purchase mine there for RZ points.

I also have a 1st gen 64gb 3G I'm looking to unload cheap if anyone's interested

BStecke · 03-03-2011, 04:37 AM

Does anyone know if you can buy an iPad at Best Buy and get the Applecare from Apple? I don't want Best Buy's service plan.

somchair1 · 03-03-2011, 04:39 AM

yes you can buy applecare 90 days after you purchase your apple product

BStecke · 03-03-2011, 04:48 AM

That's cool . . . probably easier for me to get to Best Buy, and I can get RZ points

SonOfArathorn · 03-03-2011, 05:24 AM

Sold my old one already and will be getting this one ASAP... looks so sick and the fact that we'll finally be able to use our iPhones as hotspots with iOS 4.3 means I won't have to get the 3G model. Bonus!

,deeii · 03-03-2011, 06:23 AM

I will be getting one, will probably get one from the US since they are much cheaper there!

sfmarine · 03-03-2011, 09:58 AM

I'm not sure yet. I was surprised that they didn't up the ram and storage. 16gb is extremely small. Once I see it in person I'll probably get it though. Another downfall is no retina display.

MaCruz · 03-03-2011, 11:51 AM

I haven't read the specs between the 1st and 2nd one. What's the main difference?

I remember when the 1st gen was sold last March and during our local news, someone stole a display iPad from our Apple store.

EDIT: My coworker just told me. Looks pretty neat

The 2nd generation of the device was just announced yesterday. It will be released next Friday.

The ram hasn't actually been officially announced yet. The 1st gen device has 256mb and no one knows what the second has. Everything you read is strictly a rumor until the device is actually benchmarked.

Also, 16gb is plenty of space for the normal consumer that the product is aimed for. For the price of the iPad and the features it has, nothing can beat it. As far as retina display goes...why? The iPad screen is absolutely gorgeous. Would you rather pay double or maybe triple the price just to have a higher dpi? I know I wouldn't.

yes i know that, i started the thread about this. he stated the second one for $100 more?? they are the same price as 1st gen are

ylerT · 03-03-2011, 03:40 PM

I'm assuming he meant don't buy a 1st gen device now because the 2nd gen will only be $100 more next week.

Tom Hiddleston · 03-03-2011, 04:18 PM

I may get one. My parents said I could maybe have one for my birthday. I'd mostly use it to watch movies, but it'd be good to take class notes on.
