Am I bitter about driving to Syracuse for the IPad1? Yes.
I am wholeheartedly bitter about the IPad2 for almost every reason. Mostly, it’s because I want one.

A few months back, I drove allllll the way up to the Carousel Center just to buy an IPad1 from the shiny Apple Store–you know, the store that’s so bright it’s kind of like Steve Jobs wants you to imagine that he’s God and heaven can be found inside a shopping mall? And as much fun as it was that they ran my credit card through an IPhone instead of a credit card machine, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t worth the trip (and having to see those garish green walls). (PS: Nobody’s convinced that a mall is more environmentally friendly because you painted the interior.)
Then the AT&T Store at the Oakdale Mall started selling them a week later.
And then I found out you could always get them at Best Buy. *sigh*
Anyway, for those of you who haven’t read the 7000 tech blogs about it: the IPad 2’s got two cameras, is a bit skinnier, a bit lighter, twice the speed, HDMI (fancy fancy) output, and claims to be less breakable… (Which makes me feel like my IPad1 must be totally breakable.)
But that’s why Conan’s IPad2 intro video made me sooooo filled with glee…
For another opinion about the IPad2 from somebody’s who equally bitter, you should check out this CNN.com article. It’s all total bullsh*t. Seriously. This guy has nothing of value to say, but it’ll make us all feel better…
