The front facing camera would be good, i.e for skype. Cant see myself using the rear facing one a lot though. It would be easier to just use your phone camera, or normal camera rather than lugging an iPad around.
I suppose if you watch movies on it, the HD video would be a plus, but personally I reckon the current model is good enough.
Dont think Ill upgrade just yet...

ive got one too and i love it, spose its just something fresh to keep up the hype because the orignal one is like you said good enough..Originally Posted by willhouse
Will be getting one
2013 Ford Focus ST

Good to see they are implementing some sort of peripheral features such as the mirrored display hopefully in future releases they add more features... Unless it's already capable and they havnt written the software for it yet...
Whats its still lacking is connectivity though...specifically USB. It cant be that hard to add a port in. Oh, and flash!
What are the prices expected to be? Anyone know?

Yeh that's what I was talking about features like that would make the device so much better. Thing is they are more focused on making things thinner and lighter rather than more practical...
flash is never coming to Apple as far as they are concerned.....
Okay, so the list goes:
* More CPU power, more graphics power
The iPad is sorely in need of these. It can get quite laggy at the moment under normal usage, and as someone who has been involved with game development on the platform, it is really hurting for RAM and graphics power. What we've been able to do with the Tegra platform is way beyond what the poor old iPad could handle. The chips are also not new - this is just an iPhone4 with a big screen. This is purely apple playing catchup to the Tegra based devices - it's not about pushing boundaries at all.
* Front and back camera
Again, the iPad should have had at least a video conferencing camera from the start. A surprising omission in the first release, which they've now fixed. Can't see the real functionality in trying to use it as a camera myself - it's just a little too large for that, but nevertheless, it got slammed for not having one last time, so they've added that in too.
* Thinner and lighter
Well duh, a year has passed, if they hadn't managed that I'd be surprised.
* Still the same battery life
I'm sorry - if this non-feature has made the list of features, they must be really struggling for things to say about it.
... and that's it. No increase in screen resolution a la iPhone 4, as was predicted by various places.
It really is iPad SP1 - what they should have done last time.
just enough changes to keep the sheep baa-ing and Stevie rolling in a shiteload of money as the new generation of sheep go crazy over getting an LibraPad 2
Of course USB isn't included - that's coming in iPad ver 6 where Apple will relaunch it as a "new" connectivity technology.
