iPad 2S

Could the iPad be the way of the iPhone and have an iPad 2S?

Think I would be pissed.

I don't think so.
I think that they do the iPhone like this because contracts are usually 2 years so they do a major redesign every 2 years then a spec,performance, camera, IOS bump every other year.
Edit:
and also the iPad, does not have a contract so yeah

With Apple anything is possible, but I'm with Wrinkster, it's very unlikely.

The iPad sales model is closer to the iPod Touch than the iPhone. I figure eventually they'll even drop the number from the name of the iPad and it'll just be named like the iPod Touch is, ex: "iPad (4th generation)".

But look at the iPod touch, it's followed the same patern as the iPhone over the years obviously the iPod doesn't have a contract.

And worse, this year it was barely even upgraded!

Why? is someone forcing you to buy the next release regardless of what it is? 😕 🙄

I don't think Apple felt the pressure to have a major upgrade of the iPod touch this year due to lack of competition. Yes, there's other alternatives, but quite frankly the iPod touch is a bargain at $199 with the A4 processor, camera, high res display, etc. Perhaps next year it'll have a nice upgrade that'll catch it up to the iPhone 4S or maybe the next iteration.

What difference does it make what they call it?

Besides both S upgrades on the iPhones were great upgrades. I don't care what anyone says.

Internal wise they were the biggest bump in performance of the iPhones.

It's cause I usually like to keep up to date with my products as many others do here. Some of us like to have a significant product upgrade instead of adding little additional features and basically calling it a 0.x update and then having to wait another year for a fresh product. I like to get new gear. Don't know what's so hard to understand. Some of us like to get more bang for our buck. Simple as that. Thread crap elsewhere.🙂

Times have changed and Apple has adapted. It's impossible to predict what may happen next. Having broken out of their old somewhat consistent patterns it's a more interesting Apple today.
