I recently took advantage of substantial discounts on first-generation iPads to buy one before the release of iPad 2 in Australia. It was my first purchase of an Apple product and followed frustration with the delay in getting quality Android tablets onto the market at an affordable price. I have no regrets, and while I’m still watching and waiting for an Android tablet, I’ll probably stay hooked on iPad for some time to come. I’m in no hurry to get an iPad 2. If I do, I’ll trade in the original or give it to one of my kids.
