A friend of mine works at the Apple Store and got a chance to play with the Ipad 3. He said the screen is absolutely beautiful, saying once you look at it it's hard to go back to looking at the other models. Other than that he said he doesn't feel it warrants selling your IPad 2 for less than 1/2 it's value on some of these sites that offer a certain amount. He said if you have the IPad 1 it's a no brainer but if you have the IPad 2 then unless money is no issue you might want to control your impulsive emotions after drooling over the screen and just be very happy with the model you have.
