Really, the major selling point of the ipad 2 is that its thinner.... Seriously? :stupid:Quote:
But the two things that have wrecked the heads of the competition the most seem to be that the iPad 2 is 33 percent thinner and that it costs the same as the old one. I reckon the reason this is a big deal is that most people are going to buy tablets from shops
maybe I should start up a business of making things thinner... anyone want to join me and take turns with the sledgehammer? It seems there is billions to be made out of selling thinner items to idiots.
Being thinner and lighter is definitely a big advantage for a handheld device like the iPad.Quote:

I'd heartilly suggest that you don't buy an iPad 2 then and leave it for people who do like it for what it is :mrgreen:Quote:

Give me a light tablet with a decent battery life any day!Quote:

Current iPad(2) is a big "meh" for me - far too restricted for the price tag. But like the article author, I'll tip my hat to Apple for uprating the specs, but keeping the pricing the same.
PS - re the Conan O'Brien skit (after the damned advert) ... I'm cleaning the coffee off my keyboard and monitor. :mrgreen:
