False.

RUMOR: this and other sides to stop being lead by single rumor or making shit up for news?

“The iPad 2 was a bit of a rush job”. That statement alone nullifies this article. Apple doesn’t rush products to market.

If Apple doesn’t bother to dramatically improve the cameras on the iPad I will not be buying another one.

Not confirmed but I heard from a source close to Apple that it may have a screen.

Analysts? ahaha….. that’s a load of crap. They are smart enough to know saying nothing in the supply chain isn’t going to sell more iPads, when the it has the “Mother of all Backorders”. The big problem right now it did the Fire at Foxconn’s iPad production facility make iPads even more rare?

Uh, someone is on drugs writing this stuff. The iPad 2 just came out. Apple isn’t going to release a 3rd version of it that quickly.

Absolute rubbish.

IPad 2 has been out less than a year – WON’T HAPPEN.

Apple has 14 month product upgrade cycles.

iPhone 5 on the other hand MAY be out in September. Only problem is that one of the lsrgest Bluetooth chip factories got destroyed in the earthquake in china. So bluetooth chipsets are gonna be hard to get which could delay the iPhone 5.

This.
What the competition is realizing is its the software that makes the device. I guarantee iOS 5 will make it like a new device. iPad 2 is plenty powerful enough for the current years worth of competition if you couple it with the new iOS.

Earlier in the year Apple stated this is the year of the iPad2. So, this fall it will NOT be an iPad3, but iPad2 HD! 1) The screen will get better. 2) The cameras suck in iPad2 because they are getting an upgrade for the iPad2 HD. 3) A processor speed bump 4) More memory 5) An Aperture app (this has already been seen in action in the field)

All of this in time for the holidays. Just remember, iPad2 HD!

6) Charge wirelessly from 12 feet away from charger.
7) Fold in half but not affect the screen one bit.
8) Dispense icy cold beer.
9) Lawn mower attachment that mows grass without human intervention.

I like Ralph M’s idea. the iPad2 for the ‘common folk’
and an iPad Pro for us Apple nut jobs. Certainly
would make my sister’s family happy to get another
iPad1 as a hand-me-down.

Ports = bulk. Nope

I do see an iPad pro becoming real, but ports. You do not know Steve and apple.

Did u hear about new Macs with more antennas for higher bandwidth wireless? Expect manny antenna in new iDevices

Cables?

Although this too, is only a rumour, I heard from my very reliable sources, that Apple will release the iPad 3, sometime in the future.
Not immediately, but not too long off.

Yep.
You heard it here first.

Yes, but the shysters need to stop the onslaught happening right now. Why Macdaily carries this dribble I do not know? Hope it is not payola since I have utmost respect for this blog/news site.

This will be regurgitated over and over. It will not happen, but the reason that will be given by Gruber, will be the explosion today at foxconn. The chutzpah of these guys are without limits.

By: federico

federico — Fri, 20 May 2011 23:12:41 +0000

WS shysters back to their playbook of “why buy now when a new one is to be released soon”. BS they know that the zero sum game is about to be so obvious that they need to try to stem the tide.

Why do you think they chose a September 3 date? They ned sales to slow for this quarter and specially for the next Q. From this point on, they will regurgitate this fiction every other day. The media whores will make sure of that.

I agree with everyone that this is nonsense. Makes no sense whatsoever. Apple can barley keep up with sales of the ipad2, what on earth would they shoot themselves on the foot this way. They are not Motorola.

I sure hope Apple is monitoring the genius on this forum. I bet that is how they are staying so far ahead of the competition. Great suggestions here, even financial calculations about cost and profit. Damn I bet Steve is online right now. Hi there Steve, great products BTW.

This is total smoke… but… here is the part that is worth noodling: An iPad Pro is a good idea. A version of the iPad with a higher rez and possibly slightly larger screen, and maybe a port or two. It is the iPod strategy in reverse (where follow-on models were less expense and less capable) – a larger, more capable iPad that starts to close the gap between iPad and the Air. Remember, too, that the internals are mostly battery, so a larger iPad could have BOTH more battery life and more processing power.

For Apple, the incentive is margin – for an additional $70 in cost they could charge $200 more.

Just saying, this isn’t a stupid idea. But the earliest we’d see it is March 2012.

“Our colleagues at T3.com have rounded up the latest rumours in the iPad..”

…meaning a bunch of lesser nerds put off their D&D game to put down their wildest ipad fantasies and pass it off as a “rumor mill”

My wish list for iPad 3 (for next year):

1) Retina Holographic screen.
2) Better cameras.
3) Larger storage space (f the cloud I still want more storage).
4) Give it the ability to float in the air and kill your enemies.
5) 1 GB (or more) Ram (I don’t want it and don’t think it’s currently needed.. It’s just to shut up the minority of naysayers)

BS.

Apple OWNS the tablet market for the foreseeable future. WHY would they release such a massive upgrade six months after the iPad 2?

Some dweeb is trying to tweak stock prices or something.
