Apple Reportedly Planning Orders for 65-70 Million iPad 3 Displays in 2012

Yea, the ecosystem with all the purchased apps is one thing. Another is that there has yet to come an OS running as smoothly as iOS without using up the battery in a jiffy. Same with cell phones: My wife had an andriod for 3 months. Boy, that thing looked spiffy! Animated background, weather and clock on the combined home and background screen - basicly just eye candy. Not switching off these features made the battery go down within 8h max if she or my son used one or the other app (on WiFi) even though there were not many calls made. In other words, if you use it as a "phone," you cannot even make it through a workday. The second month, freezes started where she had to restart the phone. The Android App Store is not as user friendly as the AppStore. I could go on and on. My wife has now the "new" iPhone 4 (the one with 8GB after 4S launch) and has yet to miss a feature or find something which is not satisfying on her current device - set aside that she automatically got tons of apps from our iTunes account instantly.

Exact same thing with me and my significant other. Bought us both galaxy's (the first ones), absolutely hated it.. Always dying in the middle of the day, always having to worry about charging, buggy apps, slow everything. Switched us both to the iPhone and never looked back, both of us love it. (ended up getting the whole apple ecosystem too, and love that too)
 
It's a conservative estimate, I believe.

Knowing the potential of the iPad and the potential of what the iPad3 will bring, this version might be the blow-out product if price remains the same. For 90% of the market, the iPad will be enough to be a sole computer/home computer. The third version of Apple products tends to be the leap into "oh crap this is awesome" instead of "oh crap this is cool". I've been waiting for this iPad.

In the back of my mind is the hope that the iPad3 will also be able to function as an Apple TV, but with 1080. That would boost sales, being a TV gathering device when around the world during the day, becoming a TV displaying device at night when hooked up to a TV.
 
Since they sold 15m units in Q4, this is a pretty safe prediction for 2013, though it's likely to fall short of demand.
 
will the iPad 3 tablet size be different to iPad 2?

im a bit worried about my iPad 2 case not fitting a new iPad 3

i wonder if they will be the same size?

hope so, i bought my iPad 2 case from iCasestore and they dont appear to any iPad 2 cases left so im not sure what this means
