No iPad 3 in the Fall?

I think Apple, in their own way, addressed it via this image:
This tells me that their focus this year is on the iPad 2. I expect them to take the next year to work on the iPad 3, with goes along with recent reports that some engineering decisions originally intended for the iPad 2 had to be put on hold due to supply issues.
I can easily see a major overhaul of the iPad 3 (likely with a retina display, improved CPU, GPU, and probably memory as well), but not in the fall of this year, rather March of 2012.

Yup! I heard from a buddy that knows this guy who's uncle worked at a grocery store that was once visited from an Apple retail store employee that they are updating with a new iPad in September.
"2011: Year of iPad 2" clearly means no iPad 3 in 2011. Apple wanted to make sure all the "iPad 3 in 2011" rumors were killed by that slogan once and for all.
Once again, no iPad 3 until March-April 2012.

I have to disagree. If there is anything that we learn from the Star Trek movies, other than the similarities between Steve Jobs and William Shatner's ego, is that success only follows even-numbered sequels. So, you should buy iPad 2, but wait on iPad 3, and follow-up on iPad 4. iPad 5 may be a sleeper, and not worth being fanboy excited over.
