So that’s the new iPad. We love the design and we appreciate the spec bump that will make it competitive on paper, but we don’t think these will be the key to the iPad’s success, not today at least. No, we still think that the eco-system the iPad 2 lands in is more important. You have it all on tap - music, movies, books and the widest array of high quality apps, including games. It is a closed system, but it’s still in the lead. If we’re a little disappointed in the lack of change in the UI (yes notifications we are looking at you), we’re still convinced by the package overall.
Is it worth running out to replace your current iPad, that’s still relatively young? Not really. The change isn’t as significant as it was from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4 with a strikingly different design and screen. But we know that people will run out and get the iPad 2 and those that have been holding off can now see exactly what is on offer. It may well be the case that 6-months down the line that dual core processor really gets to flex its muscles - much depends on how the app developers respond.
With prices expected to be the same as the previous models, and the premium Android tablets coming in a premium prices, the iPad 2 still looks like a pretty good deal.
