I think the display should be a definite upgrade, hopefully they upgrade the camera as well.

They should. Those greedy bastards probably won't. I'm thinking of the Galaxy 8.9 for ***** and giggles. And for a fanboy like me...

Lol should and would are totally different. I just can't see them missing the holiday season with the iPad 2. Of course maybe they will release new iPods or something for holidays? There has to be some big product for everyone to stand in line for right?

i think it'll come out mid Q2 '12.

i dont' think it'll have a retina display. i'm guessing either NOVA-like or AMOLED type display.

Last report I read said that two companies (Samsung and I forget who) are producing new displays that will probably be put in the iPad 3.

Are they really putting that stupid androidy **** on the back?

What is it with android manufacturers that they can't design something that doesn't have some chintzy abomination that will make it look stupid in 6 months time (like the red bulge around the camera on the droid incredible).

Too much geek influence. The people designing these are the same people who grew up idolizing the aesthetics of Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars.

Then you have Steve Jobs, who was obsessed with Leicas and Japanese electronics as a youth. Not hard to explain the difference between the two approaches.

I believe that was a special edition made just for the conference. I can't believe they'd produce that on a mass scale.

iPad factory blew up this morning. Supply might suffer for awhile.

[Rambo]

Yup. They manufacture other Apple products there as well. No word yet on how the explosion is going to affect production times.

Got mine yesterday and I love it so far.

Any recommendations on a case?

I was considering the Pad & Quill Octavo or the InCase equivalent but both got less than stellar reviews.
