Must I Upgrade To The iPad 2?
Say you have not used the previous generation of iPad and have an idea of going for a tablet, and then the iPad2 is just for you, no second thought in that. A very inventive, intuitive device with loads of app at a price which is affordable, they make a must buy. But if you own an iPad already, then the reasons why you should be upgrading are not that compelling enough. Yes, it comes with an added camera for video calling but you cannot be carrying around such a bulky device for capturing video.
