On Wednesday, Apple announced a new high-definition iPad will be available with a faster processor, a better camera and a display screen that promises to be dramatically sharper than the current model, the iPad 2.
The new iPad will be available in the United States and 9 other countries March 16 and cost the same as the iPad 2, from $499 to $829 based on storage capacity and Wi-Fi capacity. Pre-orders were opened at Apple's online store on Wednesday. The new iPad will be the first to run on a 4G wireless network and doesn't have an official name yet such as "iPad 3."
The price on the iPad 2 will be slashed $100. So, a 16GB, Wi-Fi-only model will sell for $399, making it more competitive with the lower-end tablets.
This is really annoying because I got the original iPad two Christmas' ago and it has the medium data plan so it cost about $800. I also pay 25$ a month for unlimited 3G access. Newer and better is always coming out, and now the prices are significantly cheaper which is really really aggravating. I don't want a new one because I paid so much for the one I have and I feel like it should still be new! I never win.

There's no way i'm spending $500 on this.
Technology evolves so fast that it feels impossible and overwhelming to keep up with the value of such things.
My dad works for Apple and the entire family always upgrades when a new phone comes out...while I go through all of their old phones. I usually go through about 4 to 6 phones a year. (That is why hippies cannot have nice Apple things! lol)
