If I have an original iPad should I upgrade to an iPad2? My verdict.

No

I am a technophile.  I admit it.  I always have to have the latest and greatest of gadgetry.  That is why when the iPad2 was announced, I jumped on the bandwagon and bought one.  In fact, I sold my original iPad before ever having laid eyes on the iPad2.  And now 2 days into it I can honestly say that it didn’t really have that upgrade Wow! moment where I really feel like the $350 loss on the upgrade really made much sense.

The only difference is that this one is white and it has the cameras.  Now, I admit that I am a big fan of the cameras because I wanted to skype with them.  But if I were you, I’d think long and hard before giving up my original iPad unless you simply can not live without the cameras.

On another note, I now see why Facetime hasn’t taken off.  I can’t figure out how to use it.  Garbage.  Good for Skype though!
