well i wrote an article about it http://figurethingsout.com/blog/2011/03/… But that main things are its speed and camera system that allows for video conferencing. Everything else is aimed at people who dont know any better and just want the latest cool toy which is the iPad2. if your more into specs look at the xoom or playbook.
I sold my iPad 1 and bought the iPad 2. To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend peopel to do the same because there isn’t any killer feature that you should consider upgrading.
Although if you like to read e-magazines or e-books on it, the slimmer and lighter iPad worth to upgrade, I guess
I just wish I never bought ipad earlier I should have waited longer… now I’m having trouble disposing my old Ipad 1…
