Hi Lynn,

If you are not in a great rush, perhaps might be worth waiting a little longer. 
I still have the original 64GB Wi-Fi 3G iPad and waiting for the iPad 4 ;-)

There have been reports that Apple will launch two new tablets during 2012: a 
smaller "iPad Mini" September 2012 and "iPad 4" October 2012.
Will Apple do this? Well we don't know for sure... :-)

Do a Google search and you will find "Rumours" & "Reports".
Her is one:


Cheers,
Ronni

Re: difference in ipad2 and new ipad

[Lynn Koh]

thanks carlos.

that article just reminded me that ipad2 is only available in 16gb... am 
wanting 64gb, just like my old one...

so looks like ill be forking out extra (again!) for my ipad - got the 1st one 
just before ipad2 came out and it dropped in price.

*back of hand to forehead* to wait or not to wait, that is the question... 
hehehe

Hi Lynn,

Here is a good article comparing the two models:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/252964/new_ipad_vs_ipad_2_which_is_the_better_deal.html

Apart from the screen there is a difference in the graphics processor and of 
course 4G if you are getting the mobile enabled model. I personally would go 
for the new one.

Carlo

Re: difference in ipad2 and new ipad

[Carlo Margio]

Hi Lynn,

Here is a good article comparing the two models:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/252964/new_ipad_vs_ipad_2_which_is_the_better_deal.html

Apart from the screen there is a difference in the graphics processor and of 
course 4G if you are getting the mobile enabled model. I personally would go 
for the new one.

Regards,
Carlo

difference in ipad2 and new ipad

[Lynn Koh]

hi guys 



thinking of going to garden city on sat to see what i can get on opening day 
(for those thinking of going, could make a field trip outta it??). 



but my main purpose is to get my ipad. 



for those who have had ipad2 and new ipad, is there any difference you found 
with them? 



as far as i can tell, the only difference is that the new ipad is HD (does it 
make a difference to your viewing?) and a faster chip, which doesnt even make a 
difference in speeds in Aust. Correct me if i am wrong and feel free to add. 



if there is not much of a difference, will get ipad2. 



thanks. 



regards 

lynn 


P/S: yes i have read the tech specs on the ipad section of apple website 
already.
