> you make me question your judgment Let me explain where I'm coming from: 1. The iPad was and is a discretionary purchase, a luxury. It is not something I personally need. YMMV; 2. It is something I use because I find it useful but, more to the point, I enjoy using it; and 3. With a certain nebulous budget for tech purchases the iPad has more than justified it's cost in terms of my own criteria; and 4. Apple being Apple, the upgrade is highly unlikely to be purely cosmetic. Sure if it's the same processor/RAM with the a slightly thinner design, there's no need for me to buy but I see the tablet market as being like PCs in the 90s: the pace of technology change is still huge. Compare the iPhone 4 to the 3GS in terms of display, CPU, etc. So I don't mean "no brainer" as "I (will) need the upgrade". Rather I'm fairly certain it'll be something I will want and can easily justifying buying, even considering the switching cost (cost of a new one - cost of selling my old one).
