Ipad vs Ipad2

A colossal battle is on the way between Apple and Apple.  As most of you are aware, the IPAD2 made its debut a little bit more than a week ago and the hordes as always have already purchased their new Ipad2's.  While there is already a long waiting list for those that were not there at ATT stores at 5pm on March 11th and other selected retailers (Apple Stores), the big question still at hand remains, is it really worth it to purchase the IPAD2 versus the old IPAD (less than 1 year old mind you).

Quick Answer, if you don't have an IPAD, purchase the 2nd generation if you have any intentions on using its robust video features, and multi processor capabilities.  If you don't care for either, than I would say that the IPAD1 is more than a good buy, however if you have waited this long, I would say give it a couple of months and I would be shocked if they are not selling the 16gb wifi version for $300 or less.

The latest report on the IPAD2 shows that the cost from manufacturer is around $330, the rest of the markup pretty much goes into the hands of retailers that are carrying the ingenious devices.  If you are looking to get the 3g service than obviously your only real choice is AT&T or Apple Store, and possibly Bestbuy.

Whichever way you look at it, the cost will be about double the manufacturer's cost which will put you out of $500+ for the 16gb version and up towards the $900 level for the 64gb 3g version.  God it must be nice to have that much expendable income.  Nevertheless, I am waiting for another price break drop which will surely happen, however for those that can afford to buy a great entertainment tool as well as a handy Internet machine that is very sleek, capable and portable than go at it and enjoy it. 

You can buy from the link below at a discounted rate through our affiliate link to Bestbuy, and it is safer than buying it from some 3rd party store due to potential issues that you may have with it.  The big box retailers are good for something, returning it if there is problem...
