I have had an original iPad for 10 months now and use it everyday. With the iPad2 being released last Friday I looked into the idea of upgrading , and decided I could live with mine until iPad 3 comes out in 2012 with the Retina display.
Interesting note an iPad2 sold for $4000 on eBay on Sunday !
With shipping delays increasing to 3-4 weeks, others are turning to eBay to get the tablet computer of their dreams, spending up to US $4,000 (with free shipping!) for the privilege. The $4,000 auction is for a 64GB model. Others are trying to sell iPad 2s on eBay for up to US $200,000 (including $0.01 shipping), although that looks like one Buy it Now price that may not result in a sale. Others are more realistically asking a US $200 premium for most models, promising full availability of all models.
