IPad 2

I hope it's lower, like they did when the introduced the next generation
iPod Touch.

That would be nice.

A third iPad in the fall does not fit Apple's business model at all.

Agreed, but here's the article of speculation:

and if you google there are lots of articles on this topic.

Many websites are saying that Apple is announcing their new OS and and IPad 2 the same day - which is supposed to be Sunday.

As far as the IPad 3, it makes no business sense to release a new version less than 6 months after the IPad 2. A lot of people who have patience will wait - I know I would

What all the rumors can be is a Spring and Fall Release is the Ipad 2 with WIFI for Spring and Ipad 2 with WIFI & 3g/4g for Fall.

We will just have to see!

Its Coming Soon, At&t started clearance on the Ipad 1 accessories at 50% off. So they are gearing up for the release!

Everyone is now reporting it will be announced next Wed. Of course, that is still not confirmed by Apple, but they are saying a few sources have confirmed it.
I sure hope this is finally it!!!!

It looks like next Wednesday, March 2 is the announcement.

All Things Digital reports that Apple has scheduled a media event for March 2nd where the company is expected to introduce the next-generation iPad.
To those who intensely cares about this kind of stuff - which would be pretty much everyone in the tech ecosystem - Apple will hold its much-anticipated event on March 2, where the tech giant seems poised to unveil a new version of its hugely successful iPad.

As in, iPad 2! Or, as BoomTown is now officially nicknaming it: iPad Too!

According to the report's sources, the scheduled date is firm, and the event will take place in San Francisco. Apple has generally held its San Francisco media events at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
It's not clear when Apple will begin sending out its famous invites for gathering, but I am guessing soon, in order to get the Apple faithful to the proper level of froth.

Late yesterday, a rumor surfaced claiming that the second-generation iPad would not launch until June, but multiple sources have refuted that claim today.

Update: Reuters has also updated its earlier story refuting claims of iPad delays to note that it is also hearing that Apple will introduce the next-generation iPad on March 2nd.
One person familiar with the matter said recent speculation about a delay until June was "simply not true" as Apple is planning a launch in the same seasonal schedule as the first iPad, which went on sale in April 2010.

Apple will host an event on March 2, where the company is expected to take the wraps off the newest iPad model, an individual with knowledge of the situation said. Apple declined to comment.

Update 2: The New York Times is also pointing to a March 2nd date for Apple's iPad introduction.

Well, last year the IPad went on sale Saturday, April 3rd. I'm hoping that it follows the same timeframe. In this case it would be Saturday, April 2nd. Just in time for Easter!!

I was hoping for sooner!! Like March 5th LOL!! Last year they announced it so far in advance cuz it's brand new, seems like the new Ipods are out almost instantly after announcement now.

And, will they sell it right away at other retailers? I have a very LARGE Target gift card I would love to use for it (and my mom gets a discount )
