I don't know if you people already considered it... but there simply isn't a product cycle for the ipad. There has only been 1 version and you absolutely can't make any predictions on future cycles.
We have a loser! You seem to misunderstand the difference between a prediction and what somebody deems as fact.I don't know if you people already considered it... but there simply isn't a product cycle for the ipad. There has only been 1 version and you absolutely can't make any predictions on future cycles.
So, my prediction is that we'll get iPad 2 in April 2011, and iPad 3 a year later. There, and you said you absolutely can't make a prediction. Well, I just did, so... If I'm right or wrong, it's still a prediction.

An iPad 3 in September. Not a chance in hell.
An iPad 2 with a "special" feature (iPad 2.5) in September. I can see that.

It isn't about predicting product cycles
As seen in the Buyer's Guide, these can vary widely at times from product to product
It is about marketing strategy
My feeling is, all the speculation about a fall release for a 3rd generation iPad is more wishful thinking by those who are underwhelmed by the rumors of the 2nd generation's updates and feature set, and hopeful for yet another upgrade sooner rather than later

Holy hell in a handbasket made of cheap synthetic wicker. That account is as fake as a 3-dollar bill.

You can, but in the case of somebody saying you can't make a prediction, they will lose. Anybody can make a prediction and base that prediction on anything they like. The accuracy of those predictions over time is irrelevant.Can't argue with a confident man!
Well, you can, of course!
But let history be the referee!

I was thinking the same too "not going to happen" Then when I read Gruber wondering if there will be a "HD" version of the iPad 2 coming later this year that was somewhat intriguing. It corroborates well with all the hoopla we've heard about the high resolution display and it solves the cost question: that Apple will charge higher for iPads with higher resoution by offering them as the premium iPad.
Still not convinced, but interesting one nonetheless.
What Gruber is saying is that a new device will appear in April.
And another new device will appear in September. And BOTH will be on the shelves at the same time.
