iPad 2 - Announcement by Apple on March 2nd - Hardware & Software

Event is over I wouldn't buy one if I had a choice, but my Mom is begging for one, so I'll have to give in to her.

Come on, One more thing! One More Thing!!!

Steve Jobs runs back on stage "One mor-ooh where is everyone"

[QUOTE=Ezhik;28385754]Come on, One more thing!

[QUOTE=ManningQB18;28385768]Nope, everyone has already left the building[/QUOTE] Shit. What the fuck happened at the BBC event then?

[QUOTE=icemaz;28385766]Steve Jobs runs back on stage "One mor-ooh where is everyone"[/QUOTE] one day i hope they do 'one less thing' and they retract the product they've just announced.

Pleased with the iPad 2. I'll probably buy one.

Looks nice if you're interested in that Apple environment, still much more interested to see if anyone makes a decent Android tablet.

[QUOTE=toxicpiano;28385784]one day i hope they do 'one less thing' and they retract the product they've just announced.[/QUOTE] One less thing: Ipad 2 will not come out.

Oh yeah, fancy new CPU, still no flash.

I guess it was just a video stream on a giant screen..

No resolution change on the screen. Not suprised. Any word on the UI yet, I have just tuned in?

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;28385942]No resolution change on the screen. Not suprised. Any word on the UI yet, I have just tuned in?[/QUOTE] No fucking difference. Well, what would you expect from a company who haven't changed the UI of their main OS much, since release.

Will any of the new software be available on the 1.gen Ipad ?

[QUOTE=SvendseN;28386040]Will any of the new software be available on the 1.gen Ipad ?[/QUOTE] Should be. iPad 2 is basically the same thing, but dual core and 1080p instead of 720p

[QUOTE=Ezhik;28386063]Should be. iPad 2 is basically the same thing, but dual core and 1080p instead of 720p[/QUOTE]and cameras.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;28385959]No fucking difference. Well, what would you expect from a company who haven't changed the UI of their main OS much, since release.[/QUOTE] Marvelous. It literaly is an uglier iPhone 4 with a faster processor.

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;28386091]Marvelous. It literaly is an uglier iPhone 4 with a slightly faster processor.[/QUOTE] To be fair, I would call it a good deal faster, from the bennchmarks I've seen on the Xoom and so on. Still, yeah, more of the same old OS.

Aaaaaaaaand no 4g

Yeah, more like iPad 1.5.

I'm more surprised by Steve Jobs actually presenting it..

You know. I'm glad the Xoom has no apps. Upscaled iPhone apps on the iPad looked like arse. Atleast we are waiting for the real deal only!

The one upside (and downside) of having an ex-apple employee for a mom is that she [i]must[/i] and I mean [i]must[/i] have every new device apple makes. But hey I get her old iPad so its not such a bad deal on my end.

[QUOTE=meppers;28386179]Aaaaaaaaand no 4g[/QUOTE] 4G seems to be all hype so far. The speedtests I've seen haven't been an improvement. [QUOTE=Fatal-Error;28386371]You know. I'm glad the Xoom has no apps. Upscaled iPhone apps on the iPad looked like arse. Atleast we are waiting for the real deal only![/QUOTE] 65k apps that were iPad specific.

I realise that. I'm just pointing out that absolutely everything is tablet only for honeycomb tablets.

Why not just put some keys on the cover and turn it into something useful.

[QUOTE=jeimizu;28386583]Why not just put some keys on the cover and turn it into something useful.[/QUOTE] You can already use it as a paperweight, truely revolutionary!

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;28386630]You can already use it as a paperweight, truely revolutionary![/QUOTE] If I wanted a paperweight, I would buy the iPad 1, since it weighs more and costs less.
