@Apple, Whatever, I don’t want your shiny new iPad2.


Yeah, yeah, new iPad. Great, and rumors have it that there will be a 3rd gen iPad by the end of the year! Steve Jobs (bless his health, he’s only 50!) made a surprise appearance yesterday and says, “Everyone is coming out with tablets, will this be the year of copycats?” I can’t help but think OK, yeah, iPad 2 and hearsay has it there will be a 3rd gen before Christmas.

iPads in the same year can only mean one thing: Jobs must be getting a little nervous. After all, how do you beat perfectionist products? While all the cool kids still wants to get their hands on a new shiny, iPad, there was still some (muted) excitement around the Samsung Galaxy tab. I am reminded it of it every time when I get an announcement in my Gmail box.

I admit, you can only ignore glamor for so long, but I am determined. So how much was it again for a Galaxy tab? At 50% the price of iPad, I can afford the running costs of being Always On in my social networks, too.

    I got an iPad 1 and didn't upgrade. There wasn't enough changes. However, I think Steve is right when he's getting out of the spec wars. It's about user experience and in my opinion, Apple is second to none. Sure, there's no true multitasking, no hardcore tweaks and hacks, but it simply works. Even as a tech geek myself, I really enjoy spending more time reading blogs and sending emails than trouble shooting installs.
