iPad 2 One Week Later: Still Worth the Upgrade?

Darrell Etherington of GigaOM:

The iPad 2 is a great buy, there’s no denying that. Buyers looking for a tablet won’t find a better option on the market today (or likely even a year from now, if the situation continues on as it has been in that space). But is the iPad 2 really a worthwhile update for owners of the original iPad? Despite my initial inclinations, after a week of use and given the limited stock of available software specifically tailored to the device, I’d have to say no.

I think it depends on what you’re doing with your original iPad. If you’re planning on selling it and only have to spend an additional $100 or so for an iPad 2, I’d say it’s worth it.
