Im sorry antiprotest. I mis read your orginal post. But... I still dont understand how my girlfriend plays a part on me getting it or not. Just some people i know have said just to wait till 2nd generation since this is so new... 2nd generation will be so much better. why waste it now? Thats my point

Are you really this stupid, or is this a joke? You said you were a senior? No wonder america is falling behind.

It was an ANALOGY. Google it.
 
Next March. Please close this thread now.

Wow... Why are people so rude on mac rumors? 2nd thread ive posted... and ive gotten rude replies back.

Antiprotest. I under stand now what you were saying now.

I am planning on getting the Ipad. I just think about uses to much and think about the long term. All the major products i buy.. I have to think of long term. All of my nikon lenses ive invested in this past year are mostly the updated lenses.. And i see that i could have the best for the next 6 years till the next replacement comes around. I think long term on any thing that costs alot. Im about 99% sure i want the Ipad, and get the 64gb wifi version and just simply sell it used when 2nd gen comes out at a bargin rate. Maybe cover half the cost of the 2nd generation.

everyone else... Thank you for your input, I am sorry if this thread has been posted before. I tried searching to join in on a thread simular to my problem.

Not rude but to the point. The thread was answered many times in the first page. It will probably be about a year as that seems to be the standard with most apple stuff. Nobody can be more specific than April 2011 really.

HOOligan.... What the hell?

i am simply trying to get help not be some "example" in your book why america is falling behind.

I under stand it was a ANALOGY. I know what an "analogy" means. What i dont need in this thread is some arrogant foreigner bashing on some american senior trying to seek help on getting apple gear.

Sorry that i dont know everything that has to do with apple... and sorry i didnt read antiprotest post correctly the first time.. its clearly such a big deal on this forum to bash whenever the oppertunity comes

You arnt rude. Iknow the thread has been answered and i am satisfied with the comments ive gotten back about the subject of the 2nd generation Ipad. I understand that it is only a guess of time.

You should definitely wait for the 2nd gen. Of course by the time that comes out, it won't be long until the 3rd gen, and the 4th gen won't be far behind. Probably best to just skip the whole thing and stick to pencil and paper...it's still on version 1 and going strong.

You sound like you are socially inept.
 
But... I still dont understand how my girlfriend plays a part on me getting it or not....

Its an analogy.

Its going to be a year before the iPad updates, buy it now or wait.

Enlighten me then on what Inept Means

It means they are baiting you. I'd recommend leaving the thread alone as you've received several answers. Otherwise you'll look like a fool trying to defend against every little slight on a message board.

If you don't I'll pick on your capitalization errors. :D

I suggest walls and rocks in this case. Don't want to take a chance on getting a pencil and then a better, maybe some sort of mechanical pencil coming along...
 
One thing I wonder about is whether Apple will stick with the aluminum case in the future or go to plastic like they did when they updated the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G.

I doubt we'll see a plastic case for an Apple device like this ever again, given the radio-transparent ceramic they will apparently be debuting on the new iPhone this summer.

Dude, just go buy your ipad and enjoy it u're wasting your time. Just buy it now, use it for a year sell it, and buy the new one. Most Apple products hold their value pretty well. I sold my 13" MBP for $1150 a week before the newer one came out, so I spend a few hundred bucks every year instead of waiting 6 years and having to pay full price again.

Stop thinking long term with electronics, they are like dogs, they grow old quick.
 
2nd Gen iPad?

Since Apple has, surprisingly, left out a camera in the iPad, this leads me to believe that they will soon release a 2nd Gen iPad that does have a camera along with increased functionality. I have therefore decided to hold off on the iPad as I plan on getting the new iPhone HD when it comes out. Has anyone else restricted their thirst for the iPad in order to get a camera?
 
A camera just isn't a selling point on the iPad for me, I hardly video chat, and I don't want to use a 10" tablet to take pictures.
 
Thanks for sharing, we are certainly comforted by your decision and hope you enjoy your new phone, the one that has not even been anounced and with no release date in siight, and while enjoying that while waiting for an Ipad custom made to your specifications that may or may not ever be released!
