Sure, it's evolutionary, not revolutionary. Who cares? What's wrong with it being an incrementally better version of an existing product? Does every product release have to utterly blow away everything in the history of computing in order to be worthwhile? Personally, I'm not going to buy one because of the caché of owning something amazingly innovative, I'm going to buy one because I think it will be useful. I don't own an iPad yet because I was waiting for one with the retina display, and I know a few other people who've done the same. Seems to me Apple gauged the market pretty well with this release.

There's nothing wrong with incremental upgrades until you remember that Apple markets nearly everything they sell as 'revolutionary' (or 'resolutionary' in this case) and act as if now that they are using a technology (4G, quad core, high-res) it is finally cool.

  I've been using Apple products since the Apple II, so I guess at this point I've learned to take the hype with a grain of salt or two.

  Is the resolution not revolutionary? I don’t think you can seriously argue with that.

As a first-gen iPad owner I gotta say, two "increments" and it sure looks revolutionary. The same $500 I spent two years ago would now buy me a radically improved device.
