What do you guys think about the "upgrades" on the iPad? I'm not really a fan of apple but it's undeniable they're the front-runners in the tablet industry. I do think that the upgrades they made on the iPad are a bit pointless, like two cameras instead of adding an sd slot/usb port. But what do you guys think about the iPad 2? Worth it? Or wait for iPad 3 to come out?

Don't get me wrong, I love the iPad and all of its features, but the additions on the iPad2 just don't seem worth it to me. Why the heck would I need a camera for something I mostly use like a laptop? I guess if you want to be able to take a picture while you're exploring the net it's a good thing. Me, I don't see the point.
The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.

I would like it more if it had a keyboard, mouse, windows, 192Khz/24-bit sound card, flash...ect.
An "entertainment" computer that doesn't function as a computer just doesn't do it for me considering my laptop has none of it's limitations and even better capability the tablet is known for. I know how to use hot keys in windows to get things done instantly.
If I want to watch a movie, the laptop has better resolution than Blu-Ray.
If I wanna listen to a song, the card can reproduce up to 192Khz, 24-bit audio easily in any format.
I just don't see these things being able to outdo a laptop other than playing games that specifically require a touchscreen. I think they are the Nintendo Virtua-Boy of this generation.

I've read reviews that stated this iPad is more of an iPad 1.5 than an iPad 2. I think they should have given some more time for them to develop it and then released it with more useful updates...

I'd like to see a couple of USB ports rather than 2 cameras. PLUS - I'm waiting for the price to come down - I reckon that in another year the price will be close to the cheaper end of the notebook market.
