Why can't some people here get it?
There is a vast difference between reviewing something from a technical standpoint and from a general usability standpoint.
I have read some UK magazines aimed at a typical non technical person, and they can skip over things I think are very important.
It seems important to me, as I know, but in the grand scheme of things, items that I may think are make or break may not ever register with other people.
Like why do people buy rubbish hi-fi's? I know they sound terrible, but for a group of people they make sound, they can play their CD's the price is good so that's all that matters.
For someone totally non technical (one could argue, the audience the iPad is most strongly focussed on) apart from the camera, there are no real differences between the iPads.
It's a tiny bit lighter, it's a bit thinner, and a bit faster. Whoop-de-do.
Tech nerds will say, oh, yes, but it's god dual core, and the textures in some games are a higher quality, and this app loads 2 seconds faster.
But none of that really matters, it's still an iPad that runs the same apps.
It's not like Chalk and Cheese. It's like Cheese, or a slightly stronger cheese.
I don't know who this magazine is aimed at, but fundamentally the iPad2 is just a iPad1 with a camera and a few small improvements.
As much as this may annoy people who want to shout about the specs in every review. some don't care. If they did care they'd not be buying up loads of iPad 1's
