The first generation suits my needs just fine. I did just get it three months ago, but I think even had I gotten it last April, I would still wait until another generation. That said, I am more than happy that Apple has moved forward with the 2. The other platforms have cameras and faster processors, etc, so I can understand staying current and competitive, especially as people use tablets for different things. I don't need the faster processor speed for graphics, and I have no current interest in the camera, otherwise, then yes, I would consider selling the current to buy a new. But for my uses, there is just absolutely no reason to, so I'm not going to. In a couple years from now when the battery dies, I imagine I will probably then replace with whatever the latest generation is.
