Not until 2012, maybe spring. I understand they had issues with supply and quality of the new displays to support the high-res retina function.

You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

If you want one, buy it. I waited for the iPad2 and it really wasn't that different, rumors were mostly wrong.

I read recently that the iPad 3 was "ahead of schedule" and they were looking for an early 2012 release. According to some reports a few months back, they were going to release them fairly close to eachother – so that sounds about right.
That being said, who really knows? None of us work at Apple, and rumours are just that. Rumours. As formed said, dive in.
- best bet is to look when the iPad2 came out and add a yearanimatedgif

it has a camera, all other new updates will be like iphone 5 , better camera maybe diff colors , but the ipad is driven by apps and ios updates so , other than missing a camera my ipad 1 is pretty much on par with the new one

What will you be using it for? If I were buying a tablet right now I would get a motorola xoom.

Id hold out and wait for the new Zune tablet that is rumored to hit.

Probably won't see an updated iPad till around March. Then if you're not standing in line for hours to get one, I'd expect the shipping times to be around 4 weeks before you're able to get one shipped to you.
I'd buy.

You're pipe token thinking the iPad 1 is on par with the 2 - Have you used both?
Don't have buyers remorse, there's a big bump in performance with the 2 and any iOS developer will tell you that. Plus lighter, sexier & battery life was extended. If these things are unimportant then I guess it's on par.
- I have both, and a xoom...I prefer the xoom.manonthestreet
