I'm not too concerned with the size/weight, is it really worth an extra $130 to wait for the new one, especially considering memory, resolution, and batter life are the same?
Other than imovies which I wouldn't use anyway, is there really much difference for an average user?

It's quite a bit beefier in the cpu and gpu department. I don't know how much RAM the iPad2 has though. I would hope that it would at least be double the original's paltry 256MB. It wouldn't surprise me to see apps that are iPad 2 only (The new iMovie is one such app) , just because of the better specs. The cameras are a meh situation for me. I just don't see myself using them at all. It looks like the airplay and HDMI out features will be available on the original iPad as well, so you won't need to upgrade to take advantage of that. In the end it ends up being faster, thinner and with cameras. I have no desire to upgrade the iPad that I already own. If I were new to the game, I would shell out the extra cash just for the upgrade in speed alone.
