Re: [apple-iphone] Is it worth getting an iPad 1?

 

Julie, I have to disagree with you that there is no difference in iPads.
The biggest difference I see are speed and screen clarity. From the
original iPad to the iPad 2 I noticed the speed difference when editing
photos. Between the iPad 2 and the new iPad, I notice the speed difference
in everything I do on the new iPad. With screen clarity, I notice it most
looking at photos and reading. Anyway, it's just my opinion :-)
