Thanks for the Push
I totally agree with you, In fact that's what I was waiting to get me convinced to get one. From here to the Apple Store (Online 'cause there are no stock)... . Thanks for pushing me...
Yeah. Wait for gen 2 iPads while not having the gen 1 experience with one right now. That's the moronic advice everyone should ignore. The only morons are everyone who hasn't already ordered one but could. Only reason to not get an iPad now is if you can't afford the expense. Otherwise the idea of not having the current edition while waiting for the next one is just plain dumb. You will be able to sell the current model for almost the price of the next one when it comes out. Current ownership will probably cost you $100 when the next one is delivered to you. Get real.
If you think $100 is too much money to spend to have an iPad now as well as when gen 2 ships, then you clearly can't afford to own one in the first place. And as long as the current model ships faster than Apple can make them, there's no reason to expect a revision anytime soon. Sure I'd like to see a camera and retina display etc. But that doesn't make the current model any less compelling than it already is. I'm a triple dipper. I carry all three devices with me wherever I go. I listen to my iPod Touch while I read my iPad as my iPhone keeps me in touch in other complementary ways. I love to use them all at once.
