Don't do it Poppy! Wait for the 3. They should hopefully be out next month or shortly after. The 3 with speculation is suppose to have retina display like the iPhone 4/4S
Just this once listen to you son please! I am a serious apple freak too...the only products I use anymore. He is right. My hubby bought me a iPad 2 for xmas and it went right back. The only thing it has pretty much except maybe a few little things are it is smaller, lighter, a little faster and camera. Hopefully we get retina display, larger storage (oh please apple haha) and a much better camera. My camera on iPhone is way better than the iPad 2. These are my opinions, some are fact, and I think your son has hit it spot on in my opinion. Besides the day you buy a electronic gadget they are all ready a thing of the past so newest out will always be your best bet. :thumbs:
