I also have the Archos 101 and between the two, I prefer the Ipad for websurfing. Plus the screen on the Archos 101 isn't as good as the Ipad. Although it can play flash, I think the Android OS still is too crude for tablets.

You are correct. There was no iphone 2; it was dubbed iphone 2G.  2G due to the fact that it only had 2G/Edge data communication capabilities....not 2nd generation.  

Wrong again; no iPhone 2, no iPhone 2G:

Just because it was named (by Apple) the iPhone 3G' doesn't mean it wasn't the iPhone 2...as in 2nd generation.  We are well aware of the nomenclature, but it is simpler to call it the iPhone2 because it seems clear they have reverted to this naming pattern with the iPhone4.
 
As I stated earlier, the iPhone2 (or iPhone 3G for the naming police) was not a big enough leap forward to get me to upgrade, hence I stayed with the iPhone1 (also not the real name, but easier in conversation) until the 3Gs came out.  Meanwhile, the iPhone4 was a much bigger leap forward and so I did not skip that generation.  I feel the same way about the iPad2 as I did about the iPhone2...incremental boost, not worth the hassle of selling and 'upgrading'.  I'll wait and see what they have in store for iPad3

went to ebay, found the original iPad with 3g two months old with full warranty for upper 300 bux and free shipping.  Bought it and on to better things.
 
DOn't need the camera or the other "enhancements" of the new one and couldn't see spending that kinda money on one.  Original iPad with 3g capabilities is all I need

Hence why I said Iphone was "dubbed" not named.  For instance, one would say "PS3 fat" to let people know you're talking about the fatter PS3.... when some one says yeah i got an iphone..... people don't know which one ur talking about.... all of them are iphones.  or how people say LED tv's.... instead of saying I got a LCD tv with LED lighting

The naming police lol. Okay, if you mean 2nd gen iPhone, it would be easy enough to call it that. Consider yourselves cited; just trying to avoid disinformation regarding the model names. You're welcome

So I should type '2nd generation iPhone' rather than 'iPhone2' why? Think of all the wasted bytes! There are children in 3rd word countries (pun intended) starving for those bytes! Reduce, reuse, recycle!

Does anyone know any awesome apps that use GPS other than navigation apps? I wonder if it's worth the extra money to get the 3G version since I won't be using the 3G service. All I want is the GPS.

Um, there are apps that help locate eateries nearby. In my country, I also use apps (on my phone) to check when the next bus is coming--those apps rely on GPS to pinpoint which bus stop I'm at.

Looks like sites are rolling out the reviews before the Friday launch: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/09/ipad-2-review/  I think I'll go this weekend to Best Buy to play around with one but at this point I'm happy with my 4th Gen Touch but who knows
