iPad 2 (or iPad 1.5 as some say) Announcement
The iPad 2 was announced last Wednesday in a surprise appearance by Steve Jobs, who is on medical leave from Apple.
There is a good summary and commentary by Richard Gaywood.
The iPad 2 is what the first iPad should have been-- a light, sleek device with dual cameras and FaceTime video conferencing (not necessarily with dual CPUs as the iPad 2). I won't be buying the iPad 2 for myself. I will be getting one as a birthday gift for my sister, whose kids have been in love with my parent's iPad.
I have held-off upgrading the iPad to iOS4 but will definitely will upgrade to iOS 4.3 as it provides a performance boost to the Safari Javascript engine.

Reverting to an Older App
If you upgraded an App and found that you preferred the older version, you can revert to the older app (as long as you have a copy of it via TimeMachine, etc.).
