What is best estimate on iPad 2 release date?

[NJRonbo]

Holding off on buying our Mother an iPad
for Christmas for one single reason...

Facetime video chat capability.

Since it's a shoe-in that video capability
will be available in iPad 2 we are deciding
to wait till her Birthday in March.

Do you think iPad 2 will be out by then?

Also, speculating, do you think they will
offer the same screen size AND come in
at the $500 price point for the basic WiFi
version of iPad 2?

Thanks

If Apple follows their own release schedule, we should see the next iPad next April.

The screen size will almost definitely be the same, as will probably be the price points. Apple rarely ever change their prices, so look to spend around 500 for the entry level again.

I'd say March/April, the latest could be June because it's a new product
