The iPad 2 was sure looking good to a lot of people about a year ago when it came around to replace the original iPad.
Well, guess what? It still looks pretty fine right now for 100 extra reasons. After introducing its new iPad model, Apple has cut the price of the iPad 2 by $100 to $399.
PC World reports that the iPad 2 is currently available for less at Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack, and the Apple store.
They mention that Amazon and Target have not dropped their prices yet, but should do so as March 16 approaches. BestBuy is reportedly selling its whole iPad 2 catalogue for $100 below its usual price.
The upgraded camera and the improved 2048-by-1536 at 264 pixels per inch Retina display are the biggest differences in the third generation device. The screen size remains the same at 9.7 inches.
SlashGear recommends going with the new device if you must have fabulous photos and your mobile data that much quicker. But they point out that despite the upgrade of the battery to 10 hours, the improvements in the new iPad will use up the extra juice just as quickly.
