    what're the new features? camera this time around i hope? i'll wait til they finish that cool projected keyboard technology... i dont care for touch screens and if i'm gonna plug in a keyboard then i might as well just buy a laptop

    dual cameras

    dual core processor

    those were the highlights that i saw.


    the mobile docking station set up for the atrix phone looks pretty cool, until you look at the price.

    Not me. But this just proves the "never EVER buy first generation anything from Apple" theory. iPad 2 has a ton of improvements and is the same price as the first one, which was introduced less than a year ago. Not sure what's in the kool aid that they make in Cupertino but there sure are a lot of people drinking it...
    I smile, but who am I kidding...

    oh yeah, i saw the commercial for that... awesome idea

    $500 is pretty steep tho... especially for a motorola...

    wonder how long before apple follows suit with a similar dock for the iphone

    They wont. They don't want to cannibalize sales of the iPad which already has a keyboard dock.

    dual cameras

    dual core processor

    those were the highlights that i saw.

    Add to the list:
    HDMI 1080P video mirroring output with additional @$30 adapter.

    HD rear camera.

    CPU does up to 9x better/faster graphics.

    Gyroscope.

    0.2 lbs lighter.

    1/3rd thinner than iPad 1.

    Available in black or white.

    Pretty innovative cover.

    User preference mute/orientation lock button.

    Available in CDMA variant so no more MiFi necessary for Verizon coverage.

    Drawback: Same screen resolution as iPad 1.

    Same pricing/Hard Drive space configuration as iPad 1.

    looks like you have to get ATT's 4 gig data package w/ tether to use the phone with the dock.

    wow.

    so it's an extra 360 a year to use the station.

    :roll:

    i wonder if you can root the atrix to get the tether and skip the upgraded data package? 2gigs is a lot of data, unless you are a heavy downloader/streamer

    all this technology is obviously for your chronic masturbator-on-the-go

    all those gigs are totes necessary

    I am considering selling my iPad 1 on eBay this week to get the new one. It seems that they are selling for about $450 for my 32GB WiFi model. I could then just pay an additional $50 out of pocket to buy the new one. That would be the only way that I upgrade to the 2. I am perfectly happy with my current model but if I can score the new one for pretty cheap, why not?

    i would think, if you are going to do it, better do it soon. i would expect prices to crater when the new one is out next week.

    i plan on doing the same thing in july with my cell. i can upgrade my evo for the reduced rate (199 or whatever the newest phone is going for) and make a small profit. last i looked, used evo's were going for 350

    anyone have a trade in place they can recommend?

    does radio shack do ipads? or is it not the same as the iphone 4 deal they had?

    THIS is why the ipad is better than the rest...

    http://www.apple.com/ipad/from-the-app- ... movie.html

    These look crazy good, they are nearly as good as the mac versions. iMovie and Garageband for the ipad? Sign me right up. I'd honestly rather have this than the new macbook pro.

    I pad 2 looking good, I think the Motorola Xoom is also a solid choice.

    this thing is really fast. I love how you can manipulate the effects on the photobooth app in real time. I would've never thought of that.

    No doubt this thing is pretty cool, I also dig how they cut the width.
