If I was daft enough to buy an iPad, I'd feel pretty sh*t on right now.
Really? I'm not sure why people are that bothered, or if many actually are?
I don't see why a company shouldn't release new products? It's like saying to intel, no we don't want a new processor and getting pissed off when they do? Just because its apple there seems to be some need to see this as negative?
I've got an original iPad and it still does everything I want it to do?
Imagine you'd bought your original iPad. Shelled out £400 and 6 months later they released another iPad, same price, much better specced.
Basically wiping off a massive amount of the resale value before it's time...Kinda like buying an Alfa Romeo.
Using the intel analogy is flawed. They are releasing new stuff all the time. They aren't just refreshing one product over and over every other month.
They release new products, faster and more expensive than the last.
So it would have been fine if Apple released a new product if they charged more for it? The only people I see losing out on this are the people who must have the latest apple product, who have more money than sense anyway?
Damn Apple providing a better spec'd product at the same price

Oh no!
But I expect despite that the resale value will still be high, it's an Apple product they always are! And when I buy a product I don't really think about how much I'll get for it when I re-sell, I think how much bang for the buck can I get, and I couldn't care less if they released a subsequent version, it's like buying a computer, there's always new components and machines coming out?
Buying an Alfa isn't a like for like comparison either, and I'm not sure of the relevance or even what comparison is trying to be made TBH?
Didn't intel also release Nehalem and Sandy Bridge processors? one replacing the other?
To be honest if everyone released better spec'd products more often then it'll only drive the tech forwards, and most of the people that are moaning about the move are people who don't own the product
