Pads ... funny if you read the comments in that article there are two sides to the FLASH debate. I know the issue as it takes horse power to run flash and Apple didn't adopt it - so a lot of stores (to get traffic from iPad users) have had to redesign their intro to be non-flash. Yet in the comments one says it is old stuff and people need to move on. Another interesting comment was the inference of iPAD 1.5 and I tend to agree. The resolution didn't change, the camera specs are not stated - it really didn't change all that much. But with further Xoom comments, one couldn't get much working as it was still in its infancy -- which is really my bother with non-Apple. SD cards that aren't linked to the software and a ream of other issues (with Xoom) - that is my primary bother. I am not please with the iPAD 2's updates - but at the same time I think the others will be a year or two away from being something "good enough". Have to think about it but part of me wants to just get one and worry about the "better Pad" a year or two after. It has been a year since the first iPad - didn't get it, waited for the 2nd and now what? Wait for the next what? Costco has something around their notebook kiosk and if I am not mistaken Viewsonic has something as well. If only there were a "Pad ETF" stock we could buy ... chuckle. Sort of like a COW or MOOOOOOOOOO. B

Well I also have been waiting and reading. Will buy an IPAD2 when out at end of month but since everyone in family wants a tablet, will probably get a second tablet (android??) also. But it not about the hardware. Read this excellent analysis. [url]http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/editorial-its-apples-post-pc-world-were-all-just-living [/url] just got an iphone4 after months of comparing and reading, as opposed to an android and am very happy, its all got to do with linking properly with outlook.
