As an update, Jobs hosted the iPad 2 keynote today.

As expected, nothing major. (Although, from the keynote it sounded like they reinvented the wheel)

Again, the same screen pixel density kills it for me. Yes, the iPad will be lighter and faster, but I want to use my tablet as a portable media device so this just won't cut it for me.

The cover looks very interesting, but at $39? Sure, the iPad costs much more but the cover is basically a piece of plastic with magnets... (It's always the accessories that they get you with)

I'm waiting for a USB or no deal, I hate how Apple tries to keep you from sharing your files/music etc with any device not made by Apple

New iPad 2 got better processor, camera... it's lighter and has fancy magnet auto-aligning cover :roll:
Hm... 9 times faster graphics but why not Retina display.... costs? I would pay more for better display.

I'm not sure I would bet on that. Imagine the complaints from iPad 2 owners if iPad 3 comes out only 5-7 months later. It might be refreshed for LTE but probably nothing major.

For me, more memory and retina display would be nice. But the price is just too high - especially in Europe.

It has to be cost, stability or ability to create the display at that size. They clearly have the retina display as the objective, but scaling it up that big could easily kill battery (iphone gets destroyed by calls, maybe partly display but secondary) whereas the ipad needs to post pretty long life.

ipad3 will have the retina - if not, they have some series problems on screen support.

Its just a camera upgrade and shifting to different component suppliers. also its the apple battery/lifespan dance.

I think i'll get one.
