Ipad 1, Ipad 2, and all future Ipad will get out of date. Technology is changing so fast that all tech stuffs will be out of date as soon as it hits the market.

For a bargain, hell yeah.

If you don't mind those new cameras, slimmer body and a tiny bit faster CPU & GPU.

What's more 64GB 3G iPad2 is going to be hella costly.
Make your choice.

The most thing that I love is that is just slimmer.

The ipod touch 1 came out like. 3 years ago so i think it's safe to say the iPad won't be obsolete anytime soon.

my rule of thumb.do you need the ipad 2?if your worried about the trend of having the latest gadget,that's gonna kill you.
if you need the ipad as a tool to use,yes.get the ipad 1 as the ipad 2 honestly,isnt much of a fantastic upgrade.

I would go for the iPad 2 simply because its much faster and smoother with the dual core 1 Ghz cpu. The graphics performance also much more powerful(7 times more powerful according to Apple). I do feel my ipad 1 is slow and laggy at times.

It also have cameras and you can do video calls with facetime or skype. And record 720P video.

Smart cover is so cool to have too especially the on/off features built into it.

All this adds up to a very difference experience in the long run.

When you buy a technology, which in your case is ipad, there no point of looking at the resale value- it won't be appreciating, same apply to other technological product as well- market will pressure them to introduce a new line (or generation) in the next few months.

So your question whether the ipad is absolete or not- yes, it will, maybe in next 2-3 years, esp when they will come out with another gen (eg ipad3) or other tablets can offer something better than apple's ipad (which i doubt in anyway). If i were you, I'll wait for another month or two, until the ipad2 is on the market, since there's no urgency of getting one at the moment.

people still use last seasons macbook pro, imac and stuff.
same goes for iphone. people still use iphone 3gs.

they are good hardware and rarely we see Apple products price falls down like other brands.

True, I bought MacBook Pro 2010 model a few months ago when the 2011 model was announced... because DO NOT WANT Intel rubbish GPU. mad.gif

Sold my iPad 1 last week for way too cheap for 32GB WiFi + 3G... but the benefit was a very fast sale not too much negotiation and messing around, particularly since I was concerned iPad 2 is coming so asking price of iPad 1 would have to be lower... Plus I didn't want the seller to feel, "Ah, dammit should have just waited for iPad 2". Good deal for them, quick cash for me.

iPhone 3GS is still good. My mum is using mine. I may have to use my iPhone 3G as I need to RMA my iPhone 4 sometime in the next few months before warranty expires, due to home button losing sensitivity to clicking.
