Tomorrow is the unveiling of the new iPad (maybe iPad 3 or iPad HD). The iPad 2 came out just a year ago, so is this one going to be worth upgrading so soon? I guess it all depends on what you’re looking for in it. The retina display, better camera, longer-lived battery, Siri? These are all speculation at this point, but a new iPad would almost certainly have all these or there wouldn’t be a point in upgrading just yet. In less than 24 hours, we’ll all know for sure.
Will I be getting one, you ask? No, I still can’t justify the cost of one just yet, but as my wife uses one pretty exclusively instead of a laptop now, perhaps I’ll inherit her iPad 2 in a bit. I’d like to try out Photoshop Touch for the iPad. And I have some ideas about some educational apps for our son. Again, that doesn’t really justify spending a minimum of $500 on an iPad (assuming the 3 stays the same as the 2, but that isn’t for sure). But I’d be happy to inherit one.
For a pretty good rundown on what is expected, head over to CultofMac. It’s a good read and it’ll be interesting to see how much they get right.
