I was just about to write this. Tuesday's event will no doubt involve the iPad 3 announcement. That doesn't mean, however, that the image we are looking at must be the iPad 3. We have been "touching" the iPad for the past two years. What is exciting about "touching" the iPad 3, as the invitation tag suggests? Touching a television, however...
Fun stuff to think about.
Professional graphic designers have likely been using a wacom for years and are comfortable with them. Tablets and iPads are the way of the future, but it hasn't caught up to where it's a viable replacement for professionals in professional settings.
If you mean Graphic Designers will be using them on the go or at home to produce early drafts of their ideas, then yes I could see that. But when they are going to work on refining their idea and putting it in a format for final distribution, there is no way in hell they will fully depend on an iPad for doing so. Any design firm that replaces wacom tablets with iPads is going to upset their graphic designers as well as look amateurish in doing so.
In 3-5 years, I think the iPad could catch up and pose a threat to wacom's professional business. But right now, it's not happening.

It's true that you can't do much afterwards. But it allows you to see your recent notifications. Like if you just missed a call from someone or got a text message. Then you can decide how important it is and if you should take off the gloves.
Yes, nothing more innovative than having to get up and use a giant touch-screen that is fixed in the vertical position.
pressure sensitivity, pro quality apps, def the resolution which we ll likely to see updated, wacom also sells pens for ipad, trust me writing is on the wall, and once proven people will never go back to the primitive model of sketching stuff on computer, desktop is there and will always be but ipad is evolving and maturing
It's not as natural. In fact my home button only works half the time and I'm left using the power button to do exactly that. It irritates me a lot.
I really want to see the Apple TV 3 as well. I've been holding out on one until this new one comes out. Looks like 9to5mac may have confirmed my wish. Fingers crossed.
Gizmodo seems to think there is no home button (unless the device is possibly upside down to mess with people). The logic makes sense, but I'm not gonna believe anyone until the announcement on 7 March. http://gizmodo.com/5888989/this-is-the-ipad-3-hiding-in-plain-sight
That is interesting. I didn't notice that when I first saw the invite. A dark grey aluminum back? I'd really like that.

back then touch screens were joke, apple brought multi touch
at current hand gestures introduced by Ms kinect seems like a joke
what would u say apple will bring?
Typing on a touch screen isn't as natural either. Perhaps they should re-implement the QWERTY keyboards...
You do realize it's easier to "touch" a remote than it is to stand up,walk over to the TV and "touch" it right ?
I'm looking forward to when I can use an iPad as a Wacom replacement and use it to interact with the computer (as accurately as Wcom tablets can now).
"Not only that, but there seems to be NO home button, which explains the mention of the "And touch." in their invitation. How can we know? First, the photo they are showing is on portrait mode. You can't achieve that icon spacing in the landscape mode (which is the only explanation for the lack of home button)."
