Sorry to say but this is a massive upgrade, if you were wanting more you obviously don't have a clue how apple and other companys work- at the end of the day they need to keep products flowing, they could have put a retina display and 4G in the ipad 2 (*I think - example*) but they didnt, for the simple reason that there will not be any upgrades to do for the next year unless there is new technology that's out. I was amazed that they had the retina display, I though it was just going to be upgraded a bit, but no- a retina screen.. I was more shocked when they announced 4G, do you guys realise?! Its awesome 72mbps.. Wth?!

Well anyway I hope you understand what im edging at

Agree wth OP. It's a nice incremental upgrade.

Yeah right, it's in incremental upgrade. A TWO FOLD increment in RESOLUTION.

If tomorrow you logged into your computer at work and the screen resolution was doubled you would not be say 'Meh'.

I hate to say it but I think you're going to be waiting a long while for an sd expansion slot on an iPad. NFC- on an iPad? I don't see the use. iPhone I get, for sure, but not really for the iPad. Yes, Siri would have been nice but I'm positive that could be addressed with a software update.

Anyways, the iPad 2 is still one hell of a device so as long as you're happy with it; that's really all that matters!

NFC is not only for mobile payments, you can also hold it up to NFC-embedded posters to load up websites and things like that. It can also be used as an additional way for two i devices to communicate.

The uses are endless.

iPad 2's resolution is not bad, but defenitely not as good as the new iPad's.
Not only, it's far better. That means you won't strain your eyes as much as now when using it.
That is by itself a big improvement.


There was nothing wrong with the 3GS until the iPhone 4 came out with its incredible Retina display.

Ive never looked at an iPhone 4 in the flesh because non-retina screens look perfectly clear to me.

I can read books perfectly well on my extremely low res galaxy s2.

Some people are nevet satisfied...get over it... If you are happy with the device you have, dont upgrade... But to call The new iPad a minor upgrade is just wrong... - if I were paying for my next iPad myself I would stick to my iPad 2 32wifi - but I'm not..so I'll look forward to an upgrade...

It is a minor upgrade for me. I'm not really a heavy gamer so the improved performance and graphics is not a biggy for me.

Just posting my opinion on a discussion forum, no need to get so defensive

You've never actually looked at a retina display before? That right there is your problem. Check it out in person and you will see the huge, huuuuge difference it makes on the iPhone 4.

Please let us know if the increased screen resolution showing off your great photos will translate into more business for you. Or if it just turns out to be eye candy....

yes
