I'm just guessing the date of the keynote and say April 12th.

Really? Another iPad 2 when is it coming thread? Really?
 
01/01/11

*please please please*

Oh, God no. That would just piss all the people off who bought the thing for Christmas. :mad:
It's like Steve saying, "Hey, thanks for buying obsolete tech for Christmas, suckers! Now everyone spend more money on the new iPad 2!!"
 
Keynote announcement in Q1. Release in Q2. Probably late in those periods. Partly for the pissed-off Christmas-present-recipients reason, partly because they really don't have to do it any sooner. In fact, come to think of it (which I do), probably even later than I said.
 
An announcement by Apple may also be timed depending on what other makers do.

If someone else announces something is for sale, then Apple might feel they should say something to make people wait for them.

Possible?

Apple won't do that. Trust me. ;)
 
It will be sold on the same day it is announced (or at least within 7 days of announcing it). For those of you who think it will be announced 1+ month(s) before availability, can you name any G2 device where Apple did this?

wont they? they released the aluminum mac and then 2 months after dropped it, added the backlit keyboard for free and renamed it to "macbook pro". so every single person that bought one 2 months earlier got screwed out of a backlit keyboard.
 
Wi-fi Model will most likely going to come first and then 3G models.

They will announce it around mid-March and take pre-orders for 2 weeks to release it in end of march march or early April. 3G models will be released late April or early May. June and July are time for iPhones.

Not every single. I returned mine, got a new one.
 
I'm guessing the second Saturday in April, they'll have a "media" event; and they'll start shipping straight away. However, nobody will receive their iPad's until the Thursday, because it will be so much more magical than the first one.
