I don't like the tarred edge as much. The original iPad was a perfect design for the back, but who knows maybe even more of a tapered edge will feel right.
Got a tip for us?

iPad 3 with More Tapered Edge and an 8 Megapixel Back Camera?

If they're going to bother putting an 8 MP camera in it, why can't there be a flash?
Regardless, I think a camera on the back of a tablet is ridiculous. I keep recalling a wedding I went to about a year ago. Some guy had some tablet with him trying to take pictures during the ceremony. It was almost comical.

a very pessimistic first post; isn't it ... but you could be right with that guess. We will know is three weeks
Seems like Apple is going all out on this iPad.
Retina display,
8mp camera
Quad core
and LTE?
Either the price will increase or I don't think we'll see ALL these upgrades in 1 generation.
Time will tell though
Apple could take a slight cut in its profit margin to retain the current retail price.
haha
lol your right, it seems like a retina display and camera upgrade is enough for a iPad 3 release, then later on quad-core processor.

it won't be iPad 2S unless it does have the quad-core processor. It could just be iPad 3 with retina display and upgraded camera, no speed bump yet.
maybe it's real and also photoshopped?
They published it in their print version too.

I can think of many instances where one might have an iPad but not a dedicated camera to hand. People used to think you were an idiot for taking pictures with a phone not too long ago. Those people that thought like that have since been found to be idiots
I have to agree that 8 megapixels seems to be huge jump up from current specs but you never can tell.
does seem like a big jump, but if you assume the iPad 3 does have a Retina Display, a camera upgrade seems like it has to follow. Otherwise you are shooting 720p on 2048x1536 Retina display.

Apple really messed up on the cameras for the iPad 2. I'm not hell bent on a beefed up rear camera, but the front facing camera needs a real boost to keep up with the rumored dpi increase. Id be over the moon for a 3MP front facing camera (new aperture) and a 5MP rear.

Still, that Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 looks pretty freakin' sweet.
What else does this thing have ?
The screen alone is not a deal closer

I would say it's realistic. Apple needs to give people a reason to upgrade every year. This means they will always hold back on something, like the CPU, screen, camera, etc.
Typically, you have to wait for the 3rd generation of an Apple product in order to get what should have been there in the first place.
- A vibrant app ecosystem
- Silky smooth operation
- Accessories
- Cases
All the stuff that makes an iPad great... now better
Thanks for the commercial there bud,
But all that stuff is available on Android too.
I'm talking about "What (Other than a crisp screen) makes this special ?"
How could I even forget about that.
Noted.

iPad Retina in September with iPhone 5 with a higher price-point ($150 more) with a bigger camera sensor and 8MP camera.

Agreed. Apple could sell this thing for the same price as the previous generations because it will keep customers from jumping ship to a competitor with a tablet with lower specs at the same price.
