I need tablet to read book, to study. I have waited it for month, save money. So I care for When Ipad 5's release date. And you ? What do you think when ? March or October ? Who do you believe , Jeremy Horwitz of ILounge or Japanese Engineer Mac kotora and Brian ?
Don't believe any of them. Or any analysts etc.
If you need the tablet now and what is available now fits your needs then buy it.
Tech is always changing and new things are always coming out. If you worry yourself about the next big thing then you'll never buy anything. What you buy isn't going to stop working just because something new is out there.
If by some chance Apple announces a new model within a week or so of when you get yours they are pretty good about letting you exchange so long as you got it from them directly and it isn't dinged up.

Apple already played its hand releasing the 128GB 4 now. The 5th gen won't be announced until Sep/Oct.
I would have to agree with this. After the fall launch of the ipad 4, this does seem to be sealing the deal that they are less likely to be on a six month schedule. After all if they were and they delayed the 128 GB model cause it would be a huge holiday seller compared to the rest,then why not wait and release it in Mar/Apr as a feature of the ipad 5 lineup.
Apple seems to be moving to all iOS devices in the fall with or shortly after iOS launches. after the flack they got over the delay with the iphone 4s to get it to Fall they went the short cycle route with the iPads.
