Today was the much anticipated iPad 2 announcement day, and I've got to say that I actually want one now. I've learned from others and their mistakes that it's normally not the best idea to adopt a 1st generation Apple product, as the 2nd generation is always MUCH better. I think that this also holds true with iPad 2. You're got great features like the dual-core A5 processor which Apple claims is twice as fast as it's predecessor; front and rear cameras; the iPad 2 is thinner than an iPhone 5 (!!!!); it weighs less now; and when you consider all of that, the battery still lasts 10 hours; AND it sells for the exact same prices as the 1st gen iPad! That seems to be quite the feat, especially considering that the only thing that qualifies as a competitor at this point, the Motorola Xoom, is hundreds more than the cheapest iPad 2.Initially I wasn't on the iPad bandwagon because it just seemed like a giant iPod touch and that wasn't enough to convince me to buy one. After playing with one though, I realized the potential that it has and how cool it actually was. Now throw in that you can actually use the iPad 2 as a content creation device and there's not much holding it back (or me back from buying one).
I'll save you from all the crazy specifications and tech talk that you can find elsewhere. Just head over to Apple.com to check out all the juicy details on the new beauty. Oh, and don't you think the magnetic cover for it is freaking awesome (excluding the fact that the price is ridiculous...)!? Sound off in the comments if you completely disagree, or if you want to join me on the Apple fanboy bandwagon.
