At the beginning of the year I posted a number of (mostly political) predictions, among which was this one:
The Ipad will be updated, and I will find a reason why I absolutely need one, but Lon Seidman will get one first.
Well, the Ipad 2 was announced today. I was disappointed to hear that the only improvement over the Ipad I have now is faster processor speed and two cameras I will never use. On the other hand, how can I resist the attraction of increased processor speed and two cameras I’ll never use? I’m being torn apart here. This was, after all, one of only two prediction I made in which I have any ability to influence the actual outcome. It may be my only chance to get one right1 .
As I see it I have three choices:
1. Buy the new Ipad as soon as I decently can, and enjoy the benefits of increased processor speed, two cameras I won’t use, and the satisfaction of knowing that I correctly predicted the future.
2. Wait for the already rumored IPad 3, which is probably coming this September. If the rumors are correct, then I still have the chance of making my prediction come true, and I’ll get an Ipad with faster processor speed, two cameras I won’t use, and some additional features I don’t need, but, for some weird reason, want anyway.
3. Wait to see what Lon thinks, and I hereby invite him to give us his take on the new Ipad, available on February 11th, assuming he’s not going with option two.
On the other hand, if I really want to help Obama stimulate the economy, I could go with options one and two, but that risks a nasty divorce.
- Not quite true. I have already finished all the Doctor Whos, unless you count the “Classic” series.?
