Depends on what you need it for. I actually just upgraded from an iPad 2 to the "new" iPad, solely because of the new display. With few exceptions, I stopped buying dead tree books quite some time ago. So, having a device to read on away from the computer is great; the iPad 2 was great, this new iPad is just that much better. Schematics and technical drawings are absolutely razor sharp, I don't even have to zoom in on my PDF's anymore. With that said, I won't be upgrading for probably 3 years or so. Unless the battery technology changes significantly, which I sincerly doubt, there's nothing really worth upgrading for.

Ever since Star Trek introduced me to the idea of tablets with their incarnations, the PADDs, I've always wanted one. My real computing is done on a desktop, the tablet is the invaluable companion to it.

Well for me it holds no purpose.

But I'll tell you that it has a great variety of apps, good graphics, 1080p res, HD Movies and gaming, multimedia support, great social networking on the go, great for traveling, comfortable on the hands, and a great display.

Now if you're a hardcore gamer, I wouldn't recommend it but if you travel a lot and want to take pictures, play video games, and do all that neat stuff then I'd get it.
