One thing learned from buying the first generation of any gadget is that you will not have the option to migrate the accessories to the second generation models. The iPad 2 is a great example of this phenomenon. Cases for the iPad allowed for a thicker body which the iPad 2 does not have. Stands may have more leeway between the two models but some will have snap-in type corners that are not shaped correctly for the iPad 2. Docking stations – although the pin connectors are the same are not compatible due to the location and angle of some ports.
