I've had an iPad 3g since it came out last year and use it for 2-4 hours every day. I watched the introduction of the iPad 2 today and I'm trying to see if I will bite. The highlights are:

    Faster processor
    Faster graphics
    Dual cameras
    Screen that is pressure sensitive
    HDMI out
    Thinner
    Same battery specs
    etc.


Are you looking to buy one?

Well my quest to get an iPad last Friday was a bust. A balancing act with my wife who was ill and my 3yr old daughter got me inline by us somewhere around 200 people. After about 150 people it was sold out. I placed my order online and the estimate is for 2-3 weeks.

I hope your wife is well, and that by now you are enjoying your iPad 2.

I stood in line for about 4-5 hours and was number 32 in the queue, so got what I wanted: white, 16GB, WiFi. By the time I made it to the storefront the Black 16GB 3G had sold out.

Totally worth it! The lighter weight was the definitive selling point. The cameras are so-so, even the HD one is not the quality I would have hoped, but the back camera just plainly sucks.

I've got an ipad v1 and my mom just bought a v2. The only difference is Facetime, but I don't use it so...
