Errr.... carbon fiber, polycarbonate, or LiquidMetal case would be an all new design, y'know.![]()
Those are materials not designs. So by your logic, a Liquid Metal case in the same shape and color as the 2's would be a brand new design.

how do you use 6 to 12 months to pay for something
Resorting to personal attack. Very mature.
"Today we're introducing iPad 2. All-new design...not tweaked, not marginal improvements."
What is not tweaked? What is not a marginal improvement? Please tell me how copying the back of the iPod is an "all new design"
Please tell me Apple..
Why do you say stuff like that to get your audiences hope up, when you're only going to reveal you're lying off your b-hole 3 minutes later?
Furthermore, I dont see why jobs thought it was necessary to show up for such a lame event. Maybe to save it ?
I swear. If the iPad 2 had cured cancer people would be in here complaining that it didn't cause world peace.
Oh please, this is just pure flame bait. Can we all agree to just stop responding to such nonsense posts. Let's make a deal, no one should respond to this thread after this point.This is Apple's business strategy. Dish out a new model at least every year with just enough to make many want one. Then release the next slight upgrade about a year later. This is why they are making so much money.
The speed is irrelevant since no one will put out an app that won't run on the original iPad at least for a long time, (most apps aren't even designed for retina display yet) and there's no speed issues with the current iPad.
I admit I'm not that up on the device, but how do you call home on an iPad?Facetime is no gimmick. I use it all the time...from all over the world. My kids love to facetime with me, but their biggest complaint is they wish they had a bigger screen (like my MBP). The iPad's Facetime is actually the #1 feature I was hoping for. This will make calling home so much more enjoyable for my family while I'm overseas. For the same price, this feature alone is worth an iPad 2. Of course, I don't own an iPad 1.
Also, any iOS improvements will be able to take advantage of the more powerful iPad. With the launch of the A5 it should be a no brainer that the iPhone 5 will carry this as well. Since Apple likes all their iOS devices to carry similar functionality, expect more innovation to take advantage of the hardware increases on both devices.

Quote your source for more RAM? None was mentioned, nor is there any indication of it on the new Apple iPad spec page.
Doesn't look like a "slight" upgrade to me...
It's called a generalization....
I have no idea how many make impulse buys using credit cards but I am sure it is high.
Don't want it? Don't buy it...This is Apple's business strategy. Dish out a new model at least every year with just enough to make many want one. Then release the next slight upgrade about a year later. This is why they are making so much money.
It so funny how some of you say this is just a small update. The thing was completely redesigned. This was a major update.
