the Android honeycomb operating system on the zoom is meant to be alot more slick the iOS on thr ipad2.  Plus the IPAD 2 isnt compatible with all adobe files yet, they have their own version which can convert most mot not all pdfs.  From what i gather the new xoom is fully compatible plus has a higher resolution screen.

these are the stats for the motrola xoom

I've had £300 of Apple vouchers burning a large hole in my pocket since Crimbo waiting for this. It had better be worth it now all these young pretenders are coming to market!

The developments aren't enough for me to upgrade my current iPad to the iPad 2 TBH.
Apparently the same insider information that leaked most of the iPad 2 updates before the conference stated that development work on the iPad 3 has already begun, and that it will be a bigger upgrade then the iPad 2, with more drastic changes rather then a speed boost and a thinner design.
The bigger news is that the ipad3 will apparently be coming in the final quarter of THIS YEAR!!!

Apple (like most) are always going to be working on the next model, official release today and being shipping in 7 days - you dont think this one got completed months ago to get the production run sorted...

I very much doubt the next iPad would be released this year.

If you have an iPad then its like the 3GS to iPhone4 upgrade but if you dont have an iPad then the 2 is the one to go for.  I like looking at other makes but the iPad/Ipad2 does have some nice features and a market leader for a reason - ok its not the best but neither is the sh1te phone side of the iPhone4 - I still have one though as the email and interface is great.

Nobody knows Stefan

At some point you have to bite the bullet and buy one (if your intending too) As soon as you buy a computer it's 6 months out of date anyway with the pace of tech development.

Their will always be something faster and better come along. The beauty with Apple Products is they don't get left behind as quick as PC's do. I know people that have got 7yr old iMac's quite comfortably running Snow Leopard. You won't see a 7yr old PC/Laptop running Windows 7  :laugh:

It just depends on what you want a computer for.

Exactly that. I use an old MacBook happily and run an iPhone 3GS, I'm waiting for iPhone5 to upgrade to.

I wanted the iPad V1 but knew any limitations would be addressed with V2 so have had a painful year long wait to finally own the tech

If you (like me) had decided in past few months an iPad would be nice then its been worth the wait, if your always waiting for the next version you'll never get one!

As for a 7yr old laptop ... well I have a hp laptop which I have had for 6.5 years now and thats running Windows 7 with 2GB RAM and works perfectly, in fact it runs it pretty damn well and I work with brand new laptops/desktops every day.  Someone recently mentioned to me it was an old model, I told him I didnt see the point in shelling out hundreds of pounds on a new one when this works perfectly, he had to agree.

I have to say reading the Keynote !

It did not excite me as much as I expected it too ! I was hoping for some biigggg changes, but slightly smaller, faster, lighter and with cameras ? ios 4.3 will work on my Ipad now.

So why would I want to upgrade, as surely that is the idea of updated products, get new customers and get the current ones to spend more money with you ?

Im confused  :confused:

Xoom will be a fair bit cheaper than the iPad (32GB+wifi is £450). wonder if that will make Apple reconsider the price?
