iPad2

Today is the official Europan iPad2 release date. Anyone plan to get one?

I skipped the 1st edition but I plan to buy an iPad2, not sure if I'll get one today, store start selling them at 17:00 which is very inconvenient for me.

I have an Ipad, getting number 2 seems a bit redundant when it doesn't do *that* much more. I don't really need to take pictures with it and if it's anything like normal iphone standards it'll be crappy quality.

Apparently the iphone4 has better picture quality, so go figure.

Better picture quality or better camera?

It does have quite a few less pixels per inch than the iPhone4 but the total screen resolution is higher.

I was referring to the camera. It's not the ipad2's strong point.

The camera on it is utter crap, my last Nokia mobile (bought that 4 years ago) had a much better one already and that was just a run of the mill phone. But I really don't care about the camera. I mostly want to use it as an e-reader and for games for the kids. I like the fact that it has a backlit screen so you can use it light poor conditions which isn't really easy with e-ink readers. Drawback obviously being that it's useless for reading outside, but I'll just take my old-fashioned books outside.
