That is exactly how I feel about Apple product. Once I bought the first ipad, there is no going back. Iphone4s follows and in future will be iMac once my PC konk out. Apple product is just amazing and its the experience that keep me coming back. Forget the spec... for apple product although lower in spec vs competing product,but somehow always beat them in terms of real performance and usability. that is why APPLE is the most valuable company!!!

It's not only important. It is the most important as without great apps, hardware is only good for nothing.
One more thing...
Would you pay RM300 more for all these thing:
1. Retina display(2048x1536)which is four times the old ipad(1024x768)
2. 1 GB memory vs iPad 2( 512MB)
3. Quad core Graphics chip vs dual core on ipad2
4. 5 MP camera with 1080p video recording vs 0.7 MP with 720p video recording.
Let me share with you why it is not worth buying the New iPad, at least here in Malaysia.Added on March 20, 2012, 6:29 pm

The only significant improvement in the New iPad over iPad2 is the Retina Display and 4G LTE support.
1. Retina Display
It has over 3 million pixels. So far there are not many websites containing such a Hi-Res JPEGs. Apple Inc. is just about to develop some websites for the New iPad users to surf.
So for the next 6 months to 1 year, you are not going to fully utilize the 3-million pixels of your Retina Display. That's almost 1/3 of the value of what you would pay for the New iPad. Even there are already some websites designed for the new iPad, you may not be interested in the content.
OK, let's say 6 months later, there will be enough websites designed for the new iPad for you to surf, it will take longer time to download and display it on your browser because of our pathetic bandwidth here in M'sia. Unless you have TM unifi at home. Forget about using 3G to download the 3-million pixels picture.
2. 4G LTE
Simple reason. We don't have it yet in M'sia.
Other issues from the new iPad users from around the world:
- It gets warmer after about 30 min of using, at the bottom left corner of the device, because of the new CPU and video processor. Looks like Apple has under-estimated the heat dissipated by the high-performance chips.
- Since the the battery is higher capacity than the iPad2, means it will take longer time to be fully charged.
- If you are running or playing a resource-hungry apps/game during charging, it will drain more power than the charger can charge.
Just my humble opinion to share.
By the way, I am very happy and satisfied with my iPad2, in reading news, e-magazine, e-books.
