///NWIE89 · 11-07-2011, 02:10 PM

i sold my iPad 1 today, debating whether or not to go pick up a new iPad 2 after work or not?? your thoughts? i here rumors of a numero 3 coming out next fall...but thats just rumor of course, and possibly this march a updated iPad 2 but seeing what the 4s brought us, it wouldnt suprise me if its just a updated iPad2 with SIRI....

please comment...thanks!

all rumors point to a new iPad in march, now what will that be, no one really knows

I doubt is the next update just adds Siri, as they are already finished testing on Siri on the iPhone 4, so it looks like Siri will be added as part of iOS 5 at some point.

iPad 3 (so called) is suppose to add a retina display but many stories of troubles in manufacturing lately. So unless you absolutely need an iPad, I would wait but I personally wouldnt have sold mine

the 3 is coming out... LOL wait.

MetsFan · 11-07-2011, 02:27 PM

Get it now, sell it when they first announce the iPad 3. The common person won't know a new version is coming out.

Wait it out and you'll enjoy the new one more when it finally comes out...

I love my ipad 2 and use it constantly. I also see quite a few of the first gens on the train. I'm amazed, on my commute to the city, I would say more than half of the commuters have either a kindle or an ipad.

I've been debating getting one.... only as a tool to help motivate me to study more for the GMAT

There are some nice apps on the iPhone..but the screen can get small at times, especially when you want to actually work the problems out on the iPhone itself

but also thinking I should wait for the 3...

or buy a used 2..

I love my iPad2 but if you dont need one for a few months, then just wait

persian54 · 11-07-2011, 03:52 PM

Damn I checked craigslist, and people are freaking asking top dollar

$500 for a USED iPad 2 16 GB Wifi... "save tax"
wtf?

Best offer I saw was $470 for a sealed one with a case.... $30 savings and a case? wtf.... not worth it really...

I'm glad I was able to get my iPad 2 from my college for $250.

I would just wait until the newer model comes out and either buy that or get an iPad 2 for cheap.

NYCGP · 11-07-2011, 04:14 PM

No.. But you should definitely buy one tomorrow.

About 90% of all Apple rumors are false. The only accurate rumors are the ones that exist right before the official launch. Just get the ipad 2.

BayMoWe335 · 11-07-2011, 07:56 PM

Look at all the iPhone 5 rumors that were billed as iron clad. Basically everything was wrong.

wtf?!

$250?

what school does that...

cloakster · 11-09-2011, 10:36 AM

Or get Asus's Transformer Prime when it comes out soon

dawiyo · 11-09-2011, 11:05 AM

If you really want one, I wouldn't think twice about picking up a refurbished one from Apple. I've never had a problem with their refurbished products, can never tell they've been used, and save some cash.
