Why no iPad on the Buyer's Guide?

[kyle555]

Dear MacRumors,

All i want to know, is why is there no iPad section in the buyers Guide? I realize that it will most likely be released in April same as last year. But having the Buyer's Guide not complete is just a small pet peeve of mine, and i would love to have it updated.

Thanks,
- Kyle

You can find the answer in the FAQ here

Why are some Apple products missing from the Buyer's Guide?

Advice in the Buyer's Guide about the timing of purchases is based on the history of intervals between previous releases or upgrades. New Apple products like the iPad do not have such a history so we cannot make purchase timing recommendations on that basis. Once products start having regular updates we can add them to the Buyer's Guide. The second generation Apple TV released in 2010 is a different type of product than the original 2007 Apple TV, so the time interval between their releases is not a suitable basis for predicting future updates.
