Love the faster processor, HDMI out and better Safari performance. However, the main reason I'd upgrade my iPad would be for better resolution. Going from my iPhone 4, the iPad's screen just looks like crap. I primarily use the iPad for reading websites and Instapaper, and my guess is that I'm not alone.
All in all, goalposts shifted once again. Can't wait to see what sort of games hit the AppStore (although I suppose backwards compatibility will hinder the uptake of the '9x better' graphics)

He's talking about 4.3 now. No apparent huge updates, but things like making the mute/rotation lock switch a preference will be appreciated. Improved AirPlay support (can work with websites now), shared hotspot on iPhone, etc etc. Probably the biggest news for this crowd is Safari's JS boost with the Nitro Javascript Engine.
Wonder if they'll keep the 4+ finger multitouch gestures. I've kind of gotten used to them on my 4.3 beta.

I really want to be able to do a timed mute on my iPhone. I keep on putting my phone on mute to see a movie, then my girlfriend is mad at me the next morning because I don't answer the phone.
If Apple let you load the apps you choose on your phone this would be easy. It's a solved problem on Android (Locale).

They use the accelerometer.
I wonder if it has to be on your lap or some surface that has some give for the accelerometer to properly pick up how hard you tap.

The piano on Garage Band is touch-sensitive (dynamic volume depending how hard you press)? That almost is, dare I say it... magical. All in all, goalposts shifted once again.

EDIT: In fact, it does. See thread below.

Isn't that a problem on the Kindle, which has an even lower resolution? (I've never seen one in the wild here in Europe). I'd love a 200ppi Kindle, but maybe such a high pixel density is unnecessary with e-ink?
