We Gave People an iPad 2, Told Them It Was the New iPad, and They Loved It

I read a veritable shit-ton of comic books on my iPad 2 and damn, the iPad 3's screen is so much better for reading comics. It's night and day. There are certain instances where the difference in ppi isn't only noticeable, it jumps off the screen and smacks you straight in the face. Graphic-based art that includes text is one of those instances.

But it's still not enough to get me to upgrade. The screen is really the only thing noticeably better about the iPad 3 and considering how I spent $800 on my iPad 2 and would only get about $500 for it today, that $300 isn't worth a super-nice screen. I'll wait for iPad 4 when almost everything will be better than my iPad 2 and will justify the rather hefty expense of upgrading.

Yeah, see, that's exactly the kind of thing I don't want to read anymore. Trying not to upgrade here.

Honestly, comic books and web pages are the only places where I feel I need more rez. Other places would be nice, but I'm pretty content with the old screen. It helps to know that my model is lighter and will run games roughly as well (maybe even better) than the new model.

So seriously, stop telling me how good my comics would look on the iPad 3. :P
