Feb 24 2012 is a Friday. No way they'll do a major announcement on a Friday.
It would be like a Chinese company coming to the USA and saying we want to limit your time off at Thanksgiving / Christmas / New Year so we can meet a deadline.
Going to see a new 7" iPad before a 10"
I want the iPad 3 but as soon as I buy it... the iPad 4 and then the iPad 5 rumor mill will start.Well, been away from macroumors for a few months until the last few days and I see a normal post has been hijacked by folks having political auguments and auguments over food
And it used to be a usefull site!
Anyway, many people automatically just buy the next model in line regardless of release dates. You usually get a good resale price on apple products.
Oh wait, the last bit should have gone onto the "buy now or wait post" nevermind!

I don't want to let go of my original iPad 1 for some reason.
Do I really need the iPad 3 though? Well, it'd be nice to have the latest and greatest.
I hope this story isn't true. I don't want to see another Playbook or Touchpad type of product that could've been brilliant but ends up tarnishing the company's reputation. They just need to bring it to market when it is perfected. That would be the best way to honor Steve Jobs.
Lets see, new iPads, little iPads, big iPads, stevejobs bad, steve jobs good, america good, europe bad, europe good america good, hitler bad hitler good, hitler bad poster bad...
great thread everyone. Covered it all in 206 comments.
Since we're veering, happy amalgamated pantheistic winter solstice celebration! ...imported from egypt, scattered and mutated, sloppily reunited by the Ceasars and pinned on a drifting Dec 25th, then rebranded as part of the official Roman religion by the Council of Nicaea in 325AD, spread by Constantines bloodthirsty soldiers for another 1200 years, until Pope Gregory sorted it out in his his "accurate enough" (if not a little shortsighted) Super Happy Friends Forever Calendar, which we still use today out of sheer complacency. It's been a long two days of dedicating feasts of abundance, gathering around a decorated tree, a symbol of life persevering through the cold dead winter, the midnight mass to celebrate the night after which days and light and warmth grow longer, the ordained giving of gifts to the poor and downtrodden, telling stories of St Nicholas/Santa Klaus, the magical elves of the north, and waiting for Odins 8 legged reindeer-pulled chariot to streak across the sky delivering sweet treats to the kids who left out sweets for his steed.... a wholesome, traditional, american "christmas".

I just tend to upgrade each year regardless.....i sell my "older" model usually on ebay. A bit like buying a car then part ex-ing it every year.....works for me. I usually get a decent price so between buying the ipad and iphone updates i usually spend about £300 a year out of my own pocket, not bad really!
What you write is complete rubbish. First the difference that more than 99% of all the people who care about Steve Jobs are absolutely free to state their opinion of him, whatever it is (company employees are usually not allowed to say things that reflect negative on their company), while 99% of all the people who care about Kim Jong Il would be in deep trouble if they criticized him. Second, Steve Jobs actually made Apple a very successful and rich company, while Kim Jong Il was responsible for millions of people starving. Third, your opinion that "Steve Jobs is being deified" is complete and utter crap.
