So the thing that most excites me has nothing to do with the iPad, its the iOS 4.3 release which makes my iPhone a 3G hotspot. The iPad hasnt changed enough to render the current one "old." A camera and a faster processor isnt really that much of an improvement and its already thinner than carrying an actual notebook (you know, the old ones that contained paper).

Theres some other bits and pieces, nothing all that great other than a faster safari (I dont think its slow anyway)

eh.. my iphone is jailbroken. and im using an app called MyWi 4.0 that lets you do the 3G hotspot, usb tethering, or bluetooth internet

ah. Not going to jailbreak my iphone. Its been a long time coming for this feature, Apple is WAY behind on that one. Right now I use a Verizon card for work to do it.

yeah its kind of sad that i need to jailbreak my phone to get features that would be called standard on other phones.. like back when we couldnt even have a background photo, multitasking, or *gasp* Multimedia messaging!

It's pretty pathetic, but then again they come up with alot of things that are copied by those other manufacturers, its pretty give and take. Since this was just an updated iPad (you cant fool me jobs) I am guessing the iPad 3 will be the full redesign with the retina screen and some actual new functions.

SHOCKER! Steve Jobs misquotes Samsung:

samsung-misquote-2011-03-02.jpg

Hey, remember all the fun last month when Samsung's Lee Young-hee said that Galaxy Tab sales were "quite smooth" but everyone heard "quite small?" Yeah, well, Steve Jobs doesn't. Before unveiling the iPad 2 today the man in black and denim listed that early misquote -- which was widely and officially corrected -- as evidence to prove that the iPad's competition was floundering.
