I will be so incredible sad if there is not black/slate version at all
First world problems.
Man, I can't wait to get rid of my iPad 2 one of these little guys!

I think in general the average consumer will like the grey better than the black too. I personally loved the slate but I could see some people thinking its just too dark, too stealth fighter jet for them that's what I loved about it though: so stealthy looking.

I am sure Apple makes cost/quality/difficulty analyses daily. There is no shame in taking the easier route if you also feel that it will produce something greater than or equal to what you previously did. Early scratch tests show these new finishes hold up much better than last year's. It's very possible that it was "easier" to achieve this with the current color lineup.
I wish I'd see more leaks/confirmation regarding whether or not the new iPad 5th gen (9.7") will have Touch ID. I would love to have this on my new iPad.
But if they are really having production issues and are in short supply for the 5S, I could also see it being put off..
Has anyone seen or heard any solid rumors?

So I suppose the full size iPad will get TouchID and the mini won't? The mini will probably be to the iPad what the 5c is to the 5s, the 1 generation older processor without the new signature feature iPad. But retina display was last year's (or 2 years ago) signature feature, so that hopefully that will make the cut for the new mini.
I get that. Thats exactly how I feel about AppleInsider. Its FILLED with ads.

I've gata stay on top of things my friend.
Yes it looked awesome but have you seen how badly some of the iPhone 5 scratches were? Pretty bad. I'd like to not have to baby my iPad. My iPad 2 from 2-1/2 years ago doesn't have a single scratch on the back.

But those horrible bezels
The bezels were an issue for about 5 minutes. I've had the thing so long now I don't even notice. Unrelated curiosity. Outside of just taking a hammer to it, or "Kill it with fire", my iPad2 just will not die. Normal use and wear and tear does nothing. Anyone else have that issue? I know... first world right.
