Add a retina display and faster CPU & GPU and it will sell like butter in Norway.
This sounds like the iphone 4S upgrade. faster, but pretty much a boring update.

I'm thinking the same thing. I love my iPad 2, but I read a lot of comics on it and would really benefit from the Retina Display. There is no way I can afford to keep my current model and purchase the iPad 3, so I may have to put it on eBay. I think I'll mull it over a little longer.
I have £180 in Apple vouchers and cash ready for this bad boy. I'm hoping it will be at the same price as the iPad 2![]()
I would wait until Feb before doing anythingRumors should be more clear by then

Was the iPad1 price the same as the iPad2?

It's worth pointing out that the iPad 2 is actually thinner than the iPhone 4S, 8.8mm for the former versus 9.3mm for the latter.Once again - why would the design be slightly thicker? If an iPhone 4S can fit an A5 chip, Retina Display, 7 hour battery and an awesome camera, why couldn't the iPad, with more room width and height wise do better?
You're saying a retina screen upgrade, upgraded cameras, faster processor, and Siri is a boring update?? You are one tough person to please.

Apple is making a tidy profit by selling iPads and the market is growing. Like with the iPhone in the smartphone market, Apple is raking in the lion's share of the industry's smartphone profits and media tablet profits.
Once you see the dollars, you'll understand why it is naive to expect the iPad to be discontinued in the foreseeable future.

iPad 2 was cheaper in the UK.
iPad was I think £429 (16GB WiFi)
iPad 2 £399
So your gonna hold your iPad next to your head to talk to siri?If its the same size, even slightly thicker, it means it will be well packed!
Retina screen, of course, and let's hope for a better battery and Siri (proximity sensor)

Three features I wish the iPad had but know will never happen:
-Better stylus operability. I have a stylus for my iPad, but it's still to thick for proper handwriting/art input. It's the size of a pencil eraser; I'd prefer the size of a pencil point.
-Recognize different levels of pressure
-SD card slot so I can have more storage
I know, not gonna happen, but one can hope.
I'd add retina display, but that's gonna happen anyways.
