If you want a smaller tablet, then you should wait for the mini iPad. Pretty sure it'll come out before the end of this year. But if you want full size, you should just get the iPad 3rd generation because it just came out not too long ago. Unless you want to wait a year for the 4th one. But by then, there will be rumors of the 5th one, and you'll want to wait for that one. It's an endless cycle.
