Just spent some time reading about GarageBand and I am very impressed by it.

However, during the presentation it was mentioned that GarageBand can determine the dynamics when playing on the virtual piano keyboard, i.e. whether to play piano or forte, by using the Accelerometer. Will this work on iPad 1 too, because that is simply an amazing feature.

The iPad 1 has the necessary accelerometers. The question is, will they release Garage Band for the iPad 1 at all? If Apple decides that the iPad 1 isn't going to do a good job of running it, they may not.

From Apple's presepective pissing off customers by not giving them a product is better than giving them a product that pisses them off.

That is a good point. They have a tendency to leave out things, if they are not working 100%.

But Apple has not made any requirements available for GarageBand, as opposed to iMovie, which could possibly mean that it will run on both iPads.

I share your hopes of this, even if I do plan on upgrading. The more people using it the better; the more tricks, tips, and really wacky things we'll have to read about and try.

A semi-official confirmation:
'Apple tells CDM that the software is compatible with both the original iPad and the new iPad 2.'

Excelent!

I personally can't wait to get this app! This is the most excited I have been about an app, ever!

I am excited to try Garage Band. On the computer is it a pretty fair accompianist? We have a PC, so, no GB at home. I am also considering Band in the Box. Thanks.

I have Garageband in the iPad 1 and it seems to work fine.

If you like GarageBand then you would be amazed of the KORG iMS-20 and KORG iELECTRIBE.
