More Claims of Tweaked Full-Size iPad with Display and Battery Life Improvements, Potentially Thinner Body

Wishful thinking..
The iPad doesn't have any real leaked information coming out for it. And with only half way through the year since the last update, I'd be surprised if they wasted the last release to do another one so soon.

Everyone expected at least another year of OS upgrades, just like all the other iOS devices have gotten. Let's pray this is not a precedent, and only a fluke because of the limitations of the first iPad. I fear, however, that Apple really is setting a new precedent in order to encourage a LOT more sales.

How many apps require iOS 5? I still use 4.2.1 just fine and the only thing that I've come across so far is facebook which requires 4.3 and won't update. That's it. This is on a 2nd Gen iPod touch. Much older/slower than your iPad

the current iPad 3 takes forever to charge and does not charge at all when u use it at the same time. very annoying when u were used to the iPad 2

My first gen iPad didn't charge at all if you were using it either, nor does my Galaxy Tab. This isn't unusual. I don't find my "new iPad" takes any longer to charge than my original iPad did.
