I bought an ipad 2 whilst in the states a few weeks ago and....................
Love it. Still a pain in the @ss having to use itunes to update it etc, but a fab piece of kit none the less (possible jailbreaking after warranty runs out(has anybody else done this yet to theirs))?
With regards to the release dates, speakting to the guys in Apple (and I got to know a couple of them fairly well as I was pestering them every day for about 6 or 7 days for a specific ipad) they dont even have a clue.
Question for you all... Is anybody bothered about possibly buying the next generation of apple (or any electronic) product due to the problems that Japan have had with regard to the Earthquake and lack of production etc... Therefore companies having to look elsewhere for possibly inferior products?
