i have the ipad 2 and i was about to buy a new one with 3g because my current one has wifi only. should i hold off and wait until fall to see if there a hint of the ipad 3 or just buy it.
 
Sell the iPad 2 and buy an iPad 2 with 3G. Why anyone would want to enter the Android quagmire is beyond me.

PS your <shift> key appears to be busted.
 
Well, seeing that Digitimes is reporting Apple's ramping up production of iPad2 for Q3, it's doubtful there'll be an iPad3 anytime this year...

Could have sworn the post originally said something about giving the iPad to the kids and buying a Xoom. Next time I'll use quotes.

That was a ridiculous rumor several months ago and more ridiculous now.

There seems to be a line of thinking here that unless you get the latest and greatest at launch day, you might as well wait for the next best thing.

I thought the iPad 2 was the new iPad.

I agree, they can barely keep up as it is, the iPhone would more than likely be upgraded first.

You must have been reading another thread and still had Xoom on the brain. Happens to me all the time.
 
ipad 2

i wouldnt bother, buy an ipad 2 and if the new ipad is that cool sell the ipad 2 and buy it. If you want a tip see if you can buy 2 of the new ipads when they come out. Sell the ipad 2 and one of the new ones chances are youll break even. =)
 
Yes, somehow apple will discontinue the iPad 2 because it is still on back order on most of the countries. Wait until 2012 to receive your new iPad 3G/4G.
 
Why wait?
If you do, you might as well wait when the iPad 3 comes out. Cause after a year the iPad 4 will be released.
Having said that, you might want to wait then too, because a year later...

Sell your Wi-Fi iPad 2 and buy a 3G iPad 2 - simple as that.
I really do not see the iPad 3 coming out this year.
