I am thinking about buying an iPad but I think I would go for the iPad 2 over the iPad 3. As I have read numerous times the new version is an "evolution" of the previous model and not a "revolution".
I have held both versions next to one another and I noticed the iPad 3 was heavier, much hotter, thicker and more expensive. Ok, the screen is sharper and the graphics are said to be better but how good do they need to be as it's not supposed to be a portable gaming device - the graphics are currently good enough. I have also reently heard that some are having trouble with Wifi speeds which would be a serious disadvantage in my eyes.

I can pick up an iPad 2 for sub £300 price so I think I will. I'll see what the iPad 4 has to offer :-P
