Why are most people selling their iPads?

I can see a LOT of current iPad's being passed onto other family members.

As this update it going to be so minor, we think, apart from one having facetime and perhaps a tiny bit smoother/quicker in some areas, they are going to be about the same.

It's not going to be like, OMG this old one is so bad compared to the new model.
 
Just for the record, I'm keeping my 16 gb wifi-only iPad. For me, it is a great device that I take most places. In contrast, my 15" mbp is a better and more powerful device that I take less places. Both are a joy to use.
 
Sold mine. I lost a grand total of $40 for a year of use by selling now.

No intention of buying a ipad 2. Maybe an iPad 3?

I sold mine this past week because I use it less and less every day. I use it less mainly because I got an insane deal on a new 13" MacBook Air on craigslist. I love the iPad for web browsing, but at the same time I hate the browser limitations. I don't like it not supporting flash and also the ****** amount of ram limiting the number of open pages I have. And I wanted to get the most money I could selling before a new model comes out. I don't even know if I want another iPad but at least I've had it since launch and only sold it for a hundred less than I paid (not counting tax). I don't really miss it that much to be honest. Besides, I got more than my money's worth out of it in the past almost 10 months.

Yup, pretty much what i'd expect from an oversized iPod touch. Now if it had a retina display, I could justify getting one because then I could read all of my books/papers on it and it would really fill a hole in my life. Right now it's just a big ipod touch.

There is a new model coming, but it also took most people a while to find out that the iPad is actually good for nothing except for playing a few games with touch interfaces. It's a device that serves only very few purposes and most people realized that they bought themselves an expensive toy for which they have no justification.

Almost everything I buy is a toy. What's wrong with that? If you can "justify" any purchase besides food and basic clothing, you're lying to yourself. What a dumb word to use.
