I predict one of these predictions may be right at least once.
I predict that your prediction will be correct.

All I want is the iPhone to come to T-Mobile.

It makes sense that the iPad 3 would be released in time for the holiday season. That's when a lot of competitors will likely release their best attempt at iPad imitations and might get close to the quality and performance of the 2. Best to hit the market with a brand new iPad leading into gift buying season that is unmatched.
Come to think of it, releasing the iPhone closer to Christmas doesn't seem like a bad idea either.

You have three different products, each using the same old connector that have usually been released months apart, now all three are coming out at relatively the same time. Just a hunch, but it seems like an old annoying adapter and it seems like a good time to refresh it.
The good news is that iPad's hold their value extremely well, good news for those who want the latest model anyway and have a 1 or 2 to sell.

Apple doesn't need the holiday season to increase sales. They'll sell every iPhone and iPad they can make whatever time of year they're released.

The main goal, I think, is to stay far ahead of competitors. Which means releasing a new iPad that is head and shoulders above their best products, when their products are released.
Have you looked at Ebay for iPad 1 prices lately? As soon as the iPad 2 was released, prices for the 1 tanked hard. I had a buyer for my iPad 1, but after searching ebay the fairest price I could find for a 32gb 3G was $400.
Well, this site is called MacRumors.Great, so to summarize.. no new news!
When you say "they won't release it the same year as the iPad 2" all I'm hearing is "they won't release it because the previous model is still for sale."
I predict that Ford won't come out with a 2012 F150 because the people with a 2011 F150 will be upset.
That's why I haven't personally bought an iPad yet. It's a new product that was a success and has created a new market at the expense of notebooks.
Until market saturation is reached you can expect there to be regular refreshes as companies compete for market share. Projections for tablet sales into the future are sky high, so expect short refresh cycles and rapid advances in technology as companies compete to establish their tablets.
For now my MBP serves as my tablet because I don't need both and I think it makes sense for me to wait until tablet growth has slowed some and the product isn't refreshed quite so often.
Can you stop using that picture that makes it look like an official announcement?
