Will do.. beginning of next season.
**** balls ......can you do trade ins? I see battery life isn't increased though. You get a few extra ports (external mic port and mini HDMI is good), the interface is simplified (no more stupid codes to learn) and the angle of view options in a few modes has increased.
EDIT: Any idea if version 2 fits in version 1 housings?

The big differences to me look like the lens angles, photo modes and the 4 LEDS to show that its active. That is a nice change. The vids from the H1 are so good that if these are better it will be pretty amazing....
Please tell me you can easily connect it to external power (i.e. MY BIKE)?!?

Can record AND charge at the same time!

U can do it now if you have last firmware - says my manual. I plan to get extra housing, drill a hole and route a cable through.
I just picked up mine on Sat from GP Bikes and already spent extra 100 to get LCD bacpac.
Will probably get GoPro 2 as a second cam - so I can do different angles at the same time!

Looks like it has a 12V input now, but no mention of it accepting xtinal ...errr external power.
In the FAQs though, it says it goes into USB mode when a USB is plugged in. http://gopro.com/support/faq-hd-hero2-cameras/#no-live-feed-via-USB
So, I'm a bit unclear what it'll do exactly with external power..'
EDIT:
Never mind, according to this there is no 12V input, but you can record while connected to USB with all models of GoPro

The problem with that is that the casing doesn't have holes for the USB so you'll have to record naked or drill a hole in the case.
tell me about it! I just picked gopro itself and lcd bacpac for it!
I am still happy - very cool cam and I will probably get gopro2 with wifi remote in spring.
Or try to modify a USB cable so that it has an ultra low profile?

When it slows down, is that 60FPS? or is that the new 120FPS (Quality seems a bit too good for VGA though)?

It must be the new 120fps (slow-motion setting). Otherwise, the advert would be incomplete as it would not have displayed all the new features.
Keep in mind tho, low-res shot on a good camera can be (much) better than the full HD video captured on a crappy/old-gen cam. I think that's the situation here.
Yes but i'm viewing it in 1080p on youtube on my monitor with a resolution of 2048x1152. No matter how good the video quality is, VGA video (640×480) will still not look as good.
But then again, my videos never look as good as the ones shown in the demo's (GoPro HD)
