no, didn't have the original. wanted to wait for one w/ camera, sleeker design, etc.
I'll be buying it when they're available in the stores. not in a rush.
the cameras suck on the ipad2
it does 720p movie, so it's fine for that, but for photos the rear camera is probably on par with the iPhone 3G
still cool though.
having had both, i'd say if someone already had a first gen it's not worth the upgrade. I just need a writeoff, plus i like having cool new stuff
the only "tangible" things i like about the new one is the thinner, curved back design -- no sharp 90deg edges, so it feels better in the hand, the HDMI out, and the new processor = faster operation and browsing, but i don't notice it _that_ much.
i went down from a 32G to a 16g because i never even got close to filling up the 32g -- i just stream everything online or over airvideo if im at home and want to watch a movie over my network off my desktop or NAS.
