I engaged two different friends yesterday in conversations about the new iPad 2. Both have been on the fence about a possible purchase and both were waiting to see what Apple would come out with. One is a certified geek. The other is not. After Apple’s announcement both have decided to take the plunge and [...]
Apple’s iPad 2 is one of those things that you have to feel to truly experience. To reiterate Steve Jobs’ reluctance on being dependent upon specs, the numbers–33% slimmer than the current iPad, thinner than the iPhone 4, and 0.2 pounds lighter than the iPad 1–don’t really do the device any justice. In reality, when [...]

I just finished watching the streaming version of Apple’s iPad 2 announcement. Too bad they didn’t stream the actual thing live.

The HP TouchPad was being shown off at the GDC 2011 in San Francisco just next door to the big Apple iPAd 2 event. The demo was of a fighter game called the Armageddon Squadron II.

Editing video has alwasys been a real pain in the neck.

Apple’s posted information on how you can buy the iPad 2 on the first day of availability. Apple will not be taking pre-orders for the iPad 2 as it has with other devices. Perhaps the reservation process was too much of a headache for both iPad buyers and Apple employees alike. If you want an [...]

The iPad 2 has a faster processor and some other internal upgrades. But most people who will buy an iPad 2 or any other tablet in 2011 simply don’t care about specs. The user experience is far more important than GHz and GB and it’s silly to focus too much on specs when comparing tablet [...]

The prediction that the original iPad would continue to be sold at a discount could be partially true. Apple has moved them to the clearance section of their online store and depending on when you check the price, they could have a discount of $100, making the 16GB Wi-Fi model just $399. Maybe.
A lot of people I know are ready to buy the iPad 2 and ditch their original iPads, all of which are less than a year old. Services like Gazelle.com and eBay’s buy-back program make it incredibly easy to get rid of gently used iPads for a good chunk of the orignal sales price. I’ve [...]

So the iPad 2 debuted today and it has a killer feature. It’s not the A5 dual-core CPU or the even thinner and lighter body. Rather it’s something far simpler yet out-of-reach for its would-be competitors: availability.
