iPad revision

1. Second generation came with increased speed.
2. Multitasking now enabled and incredibly helpful.
3. AGPS chip works OK on wifi version and performs equally to the 3G version if it is tethered to a phone.
4. While the SD card would be nice it is not an absolute deal breaker. Having owned an iPad now I realize you do not need that much capacity.
5. With coming changes to iOS I think the utility of a USB port will be diminished as well.
6. Over the air sync with desktop coming
7. Price is actually not that much from the real contenders and software makes up for the small difference.
8. Cameras on the device are so helpful that I do not think the device coils do without them.
10. No flash but still able to get a lot of video through apps and html5 enabled web pages.
