For a product that's suppose to be released in early February, which is this week, the number of rumors or even comments on rumors on this site has been essentially zero of late.

Even if this isn't happening for a while, a major update like this generally has threads that go on for hundreds of posts. Just saying; it's been awfully quite.

The rumor of early Feb. is a dart on the board. A total guess/hope.

I just threw a dart which says last week of Feb. Apple definitely doesn't need to hype people up for the iPad, like they did in the initial release year when the product was seen as a roll-of-dice gamble inside the market. They just have to release it when there is something to ship.

If Apple is set to ship it in late March, look for a media event in mid-March. There is a lot of production news going around, so it is probably ready sooner than later, possibly even late Feb.
