Just an update

I decided to wait for the iPad 2 and now that more and more rumors are popping up I am glad I did

I can't wait for you new thread after the iPad 2 is released: "Should I Get iPad 2 or wait for iPad 3?"

So excited waiting for and need the Ipod 2.

I guess you can still find some iPod2 devices for sale 2nd hand on Ebay, but not sure what the battery life in one would be like by now.

Any reason why you don't want a more modern version?

I was thinking the same but I got an iPad 16gb wifi last week so I say go for it

The features of iPad 2 may not be interesting for you but I'd never recommend to buy a product at the end of cycle when a new one's going to come out. iPad 2 is 2 months away, its recommended you wait. If you cannot wait at all, then get it.

At this point, I'd wait for the iPad2.

At this point, I'd wait for the iPad2.

yup, it's not that far off, i'd get by how you've been getting by for now and wait.

psft, wait for the iPad 3, or iPad 4, or iPad 60.

playing the waiting game will get you no where, there always will be something else around the corner eventually. it only pays to wait when history shows that an update is days away, if then. if you need/want an iPad now: then get it. if you're not sold on it, then don't. no one can tell you how to spend your money.

This is where the buyers guide comes in handy.

When you know there may only be a month or so till the new version of whatever you want comes out it makes it a lot easier to save and wait.

I've owned a few iPads, and the most recent purchase was just after new years, I'll buy the iPad 2 when it comes out and sell this one, or give it to the wife if she wants it. Point being, If I was in the market for an iPad even today, the 23rd of Jan I would buy it knowing I can easily resell it if I needed cash to buy the 2nd gen one. I've bought and sold several iPad off the local Craigslist and made a nice profit from the impulse buyers.

Even once the 2nd one comes out I'll still be able to get 60 to 75% of my purchase price. I update computers on a yearly basis and Apple products retain better resale value by far than any other pc of electronics I've ever purchased. It's not an investment, but it's the safest hardware buy you can make knowing the "latest and greatest" is just around the corner.
