Further, the non-fragmentation of the App Store is nice, a 1G iPad can run pretty much everything a 2G iPad can.
Why would I want to buy in to an ecosystem where developers are worrying about developing to the lowest common denominator?
Funny how when Apple released the iPad2 they talked up how much faster it was than than the iPad, but I didn't hear a whole bunch of people talking about worrying about the lowest common denominator then. Do you think the iPad3 will only be as fast as the iPad2? The iPhone5 as slow as the 3GS?
Perf deltas are something people get an understand pretty well.
