What will the ipad sell for when ipad2 comes out? - ChillSound - 01-30-2013 05:58 AM
I want to buy an ipad in the next week, but I am afraid when the ipad2 comes out, I won't be able to trade up for the 2nd one, without having to bite the bullet hard when selling the first one. I don't mind paying a bit extra even with the ebay commission but I don't want to have to basically pay for an entirely new one over again if you get the point. Thanks. D

Hey, ChillSound, they'll probably drop iPad1 price by $100 when iPad2 come out as they usually do.
While iPad2 is going to be good and on par in features with Galaxy tab, it'll probably cost the same $500 - $800 as the current iPad or even more. However, for $249 you can now get Android eReader/tablet hybrid device which combines the better parts of both eReader and tablet worlds. Such device is Nook Color from Barnes & Noble which has USB port (unlike current iPad). Nook Color has a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight and for reducing eye strain than current iPad's. The screen is one of the best and sharpest on the market and it's viewable at wide angles. It is great for PDF's, much better than Kindle. From the cost side, while more expensive than e-Ink Nook or Kindle, you can buy two Nook Color's for the price of one iPad. Nook Color has several apps that already come with the device (Pandora Internet radio, QuickOffice, etc.) Also, Barnes & Noble recently released Nook SDK and Nook Developer platform that will allow most of the existing 100,000 Android apps be ported to it.
Also, you can use the Social Settings screen to link your NOOKcolor to your Facebook account and your Twitter account. You can also import all your contacts from your Google Gmail account. Once you have linked to Facebook and Twitter and set up email contacts, you can lend and borrow books, recommend books, and share favorite quotes with your friends.

It really depends on how many new features the new one has. If it has a retina display, cameras, video calling, FLASH, faster processor, more RAM and a better battery, than you probably wont even be able to sell the iPad for 1/4 the price you brought it for. If it only has a better battery and a faster processor, than you should still be able to get about 3/4 the price you brought it for.
