Probably not. I got mine for Christmas, and I don't want my dad to fork another $800 just so I can have a camera on the back, haha. Maybe iPad 3 though....

I was thinking about waiting for the iPad 2 but decided to buy a galaxy tab which is great. But still love my iPad

I'm waiting until we see know for sure what iPad 2 is offering, before making a decision. And also, whether it's going to be compatible with iPad 1 accessories (especially the case/cover.)

That's the accessory that will probably not work. The iPad2 should be smaller. I wouldn't pass it by Apple that they won't change button placement either... But as you say let's wait until we know for sure.

Perhaps - we'll see what has to offer. I just got mine at the end of the year and still working with it to make it fit between work and "not work"

I'm actually also curious as to how long Apple will continue to sell and support iPad 1.0 after iPad 2.0 comes out, and what kind of price difference there will be between the two - e.g. is iPad 2.0 going to cost more? Is iPad 1.0 going to drop in price? etc.

We've been told right from the start that iPad owners had one free software update, which was 4.2, and that the following would be charged. Until drastic hardware changes make it impossible to run updates on gen1 that is...

We know that iPod new gens means 10 to 20% markdowns on the remaining preceding gen. I expect that too with iPad...

For me there is no potential for upgrade to the iPadx in the near future. In fact, until Apple quits crippling the iPad with updates only through iTunes and neither USB nor flash, I don't see any more iPads in my future. Right now I call it a near computer. But I still enjoy using it.

Got the first, then the second.
