iPad March 9th event. Any iPads?

Watch only.

I think the event will consist of the watch and at least one other product announcement. Currently I'm thinking a 60% chance of a Retina MacBook Air and a 30%-40% chance of an iPad "Pro." I don't think there will be any other iPads announced.

Watch and maybe Pro/Air news. Too early in the year for iPad related news, I feel.

I know it's unlikely, but I would love to see the iPad mini 4 released.

Me too.

That and the Apple Car that you drive using the Watch 😀

It won't take 2 hours to talk about the watch.
I hope they do release 3 new iPads. Maybe its a bit too much to ask, but I'm anticipating an iPad mini redesign (since the mini 3 was a tiny release) an iPad 4 like release for the iPad air, and of course the iPad pro

Ummm they did a pretty piss poor job last year of explaining why anyone will want/need this product. There will be multiple app demos and a lengthy explanation on pricing/why this is the best Apple product to go out and buy. Along with the typical updates this will easily go to 2 hours.

Instead of people wishing for iPads (that were just updated), lets use some logic. The only other things they MIGHT talk about would be a long awaited Apple TV update or price drop or the new iTunes music service coming out.

Watch only. Which means I have zero interest in it whatsoever.

Ditto, very few people care about the Watch. Who wears a watch anymore?

The Apple Watch will appeal to those that love Apple products and who own an iPhone. I don't own an iPhone and haven't worn a watch in 35 years. There were a lot of doubters saying the iPad would be doomed to failure. Look how that turned out. So no one can say how the Watch will sell.

I suspect the early adopters will buy them in droves. After the initial sales surge is when you get a better idea if the product has legs or arms (pun intended) 😱

I originally thought there was an outside possibility of an iPad Pro announcement, but now I'm pretty sure we won't see any iPads until the usual October time slot.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. That's only 8 months from now, which will fly by for most of us. It just means that Apple has more time to perfect the final product.
