Do you think it is worth waiting for the 2nd or 3rd generation of iPads?
You go ahead and wait while the rest of us enjoy our iPads right now!
But when the newer and better one comes out, ill have one and you will either have to buy another one, or NOT HAVE THE BETTER ONE!
But as of June 28, 2010, I have one and you don't!But when the newer and better one comes out, ill have one and you will either have to buy another one, or NOT HAVE THE BETTER ONE!
That's technology for you. If you're always waiting for the next thing on the horizon, you'll wait forever.
The answer? Buy the machine that fits your needs when you need it. It will continue to serve those needs long after the next big thing hits the market.
If you don't need it, by all means, wait and see what the latest and greatest is when you do.
I thought that because it was the first there might be somethings worth waiting for in the second. Like a camera, or a fingerprint reader.
Out of curiosity, what would you do with a fingerprint reader on an iPad? I want it to be equipped with a jet pack.....do you think Apple is going to add that feature?
Seriously tho, I KNOW YOU WANT AN IPAD NOW, so just buy it, and when they release a new one, sell the first gen and hop you are all set. Just buy it, enjoy it like we all do, and see what happens. You could be waiting for a long time...
But, i don't want to go through the whole "sell it and buy a new one" thing. It's too much work. Anyone willing to buy it at a fair price will want the 2nd gen.
Well if you think that is too much work, then maybe you shouldn't buy an iPad at all! You know you will have to take it out of the box, plug it in and register it in iTunes. That's work. The you will have to download a bunch of music, videos and apps. That's work. The you will have to periodically charge the battery. That's work. The you will have to clean your fingerprints off the screen. That's work.But, i don't want to go through the whole "sell it and buy a new one" thing. It's too much work.

Put it on craigslist and you'll sell the first gen within a day. There are many people that are willing to wait for good deals when a new product comes out. When I was a kid, I would sometimes wait 6 months after the release of a new game To buy it because I couldn't afford it brand new.
Nobody knows when they are going to release a second gen of iPad. Why wait? Maybe the first gen would be enough for you but you won't know till you make that step.
I love my iPad. I never had regrets with my purchase. Do it! Lol
