Projexions #3: To iPad 2 or Not to iPad 2?

        

With the unveiling of Apple’s second iteration of their immensely popular tablet device, iPad 2, and with the increasing usage of the device amongst producers of electronic music, we thought a nice link post covering a brief round-up of iPad 2 stories is in order.  While the next generation is (reportedly nine times) faster, slimmer and is packed with more features (welcome to Apple Marketing 101), the price has not come down from its base starting point of $499.  While iPad 2 will most certainly continue to dominate the market for producers/DJs in the absence of the Lemur, does the refresh qualify a rush to replace last years’ model?  Here are a few links to help you make the decision.
