The iPad 2

     Apple held a little event today in San Fransisco where they announced a little thing called the iPad 2. It's largely a feature update of the original iPad. A dual core processor along with dual cameras were the big improvements announced.  The battery life, screen and storage all stayed the same. One of the best parts is the price point which stayed the same with the lowest tier starting at $499. They also dropped the price of current models by $100 as well. You can now order a refurbished wifi only 16 gig for $349 with free shipping. That's a help of a bargain. I believe if you have a first generation iPad its not worth spending the money to upgrade but if you don't and have any interest in a tablet the iPad 2 represents the best value for your money today.
