REVIEWING THE IPAD2. I’ve had mine for a few days now, and I’m pleased with it — it’s really good for viewing video, and folks who’ve seen the PJTV videos on it, in particular, have been blown away; also, the Wall Street Journal seems to translate to iPad especially well — but I agree that if you’ve got a first-gen iPad there’s no real reason to upgrade. In fact, I’d say that if you don’t think you’ll use the camera much, you’re probably still better off buying a discounted first-gen iPad now if you don’t already have one. You’ll save some money, avoid a wait, and not really miss all that much. Two caveats: (1) Now you’ve got the option of getting Verizon 3G instead of being stuck with AT&T — if you get a 3G model; and (2) The camera will support cool augmented reality apps, but by the time there are a lot of those out there we’ll probably be on to iPad3.
