Line Already Forming in Texas

Some people may call me crazy for being so excited about the Ipad 2 but I am no where near close to crazy when compared to Justin Wagoner of Texas who is already on line. He packed up his tent and has been outside the Apple store since Monday. I was debating going to the store a couple of hours early but 5 DAYS early is a little much. At first I said more power to him for being able to live with nature for a device we have come to love, but after reading some comments from people who had interacted with him at the launch of the Iphone 4, he seems like he has the wrong intentions in mind. Some are saying that he talked about how many news crews have been talking about him and how much of a celebrity he has become. If I am going to try to become a celebrity I am going to do something other than pitch a tent in front of an Apple store. I really hope he does not have small children because I would hate to be his wife explaining to their kids that daddy can't tuck them in tonight because he is camping in front of the Apple store for an IPad 2. Now don't get me wrong if he has nothing else to do why not go sleep outside, just don't be a jerk about it. I love my Ipad and I am sure I will love my IPAD 2 but where do we draw the line?

Ipad is Announced

The IPad was announced Wed, March 2nd and at first I must say I was not interested. I just got my IPad for Christmas and love it. I told myself that I would not give in to the hype but now I find myself dreaming about the IPad 2's launch. (And I seriously had a dream about it last night) Apple reports that the IPad 2 is going to be lighter, slimmer and faster than the IPad. I don't know about anyone else but I love the speed of my IPad therefore making the IPad 2 faster is just icing on the cake.

Another plus is the addition of VIDEO MIRRORING. I was debating about getting my Ipad jailbroken to get this feature from Cydia but now that the Ipad 2 is going to come with it I do not have to debate anymore. I am going to love being able to plug my Ipad 2 up to the television so others cam see what I am doing.

Forward and rear facing cameras bring FACETIME to the Ipad which really does not come as a surprise sense Apple is putting it on every one of their devices. I am not a big Facetime user due to not knowing a lot of people who have Apple products but when I do find someone who can Facetime or Skype it will make my IPad a great tool. Also Photo Booth will be a built in app for the Ipad 2 allowing users to make funny pictures for hours with their friends.

IMOVIE and GARAGEBAND are two selling points of the IPad 2 even though you can use it on the Ipad since it will be available in the App store. I have been reading on some websites that the experience will not be the same so if you use these apps regularly on other devices getting the IPad 2 might be worth your while. If you have Imovie for the Iphone 4 you can get a free upgrade when you get it on your Ipad or Ipad 2. You will have to buy Garageband for $4.99 but from the preview during the keynote it seems worth it.

Gaming is suppose to be great on the Ipad 2 which will have 9x better graphics. I play a lot of time-management games so I will see if those games seem any better once I crack open the box on Friday, March 11th.

So I plan on getting the Ipad 2 because I love the Ipad so any upgrade is well worth it in my book. Let me know what you guys think.
