Why I won’t buy New iPad

To buy, or not to by: that is the question.

It is a New iPad day. My guess is that millions of people will pre-order the New iPad, and many already have. First of all why the name “New iPad” and not iPad 3? Is there something that Apple does not tell us? Looking at historical data, Apple always has something up their sleeve, and I want to know what that is prior to upgrading my perfectly functioning iPad 2.

While most New iPad features sound appealing, I don’t find them particularly useful, for example, let’s take new 5 megapixel camera. I use my iPad 2 almost daily for several hours a day, and over the past six month, I took 10 photos and 2 videos. Would you take an iPad to the beach to snap those cool, turquoise water photos?

By introducing new, faster processor, is Apple saying that iPad 2 is not fast enough. I have not noticed any lag time using it.

And finally, RetinaTM display. This is a very cool feature, but how many of us would be able to spot the difference between that and iPad 2 display?

Bottom line: I’d rather wait for the next generation that offers revolutionary technological advanced compared to the previous versions.

I look forward to your comments.
