Does anyone agree with me that buying an iPad 2 is the most pointless thing right now? After yesterdays launch of the iPad mini and the iPad 4th gen, I cannot see the point of buying the iPad 2. The iPad mini has a better camera, 4G, with the same resolution and processor as the iPad 2 and is cheaper than the iPad 2, and the iPad 3 can be bought for RM1379. Why would anyone buy an iPad 2 new right now?

because its cheaper. and if you wanna give your toddler an ipad, you wont give them the ipad4 mahh

the ipad mini is cheaper than the ipad 2 with a better camera. The camera on the ipad 2 is just pathetic.

Slowly ipad2 will become legend like first iPad

True, the market is going complicated

Without Jobs around, things are getting worse. yesterday Apple's event, is most likely a heartbreaking event.

1) iPad 4 launched and iPad3 just obsoleted(just 6 months in the shelves)
2) Macbook 13" w/ Retina - The price is the issue here.
a) Compare to MBP 13" non-Retina : Why would one topped up extra 1.6k for a better screen and double the RAM?
b) Compare to 15" Retina : Just merely 1k and you get a better spec of 15". Don't you wanna do saving for another month to get something better?

You see, without Steve Jobs, things are getting complicated in Apple, unlike before things are simple.

very true...Apple is different without jobs.

i think instead of buying ipad 2, top up a little bit, and get ipad 4 with new A6 is way way better.

Yeah, Apple product line is getting a lil' complicated without Steve Jobs. Who knows next year around March Apple may suddenly introduce the new iPad 5 or iPhone 6?

steve will come out from grave wrack 'em all...

ok, now i cant wait for next year..

I think iphone 5s would come out march next year...haha

Apple is not 'unique' anymore, sad.

It's like Apple when to the grave with Jobs after yesterday launch event

Correction: The 13inch Retina MBP has 128GB of Flash Drive, which is a SSD btw. SSD cost more than standard HDD that are found on the normal MBP. That explains the vast gap in terms of price comparison.

I've overlooked on that. Thanks for correcting me.

it's not pointless if that's only what u could afford

if you compared ipad 2 with ipad 3 or 4, you will not like the display of ipad 2

I think that iPad mini would be a better buy cos its cheaper and has better camera

yes pointless

Yes it's pointless plus Ipad 2 is obsolete product.
