I bought an iPad as a family present last Christmas. I'm surprised at how little use it gets. It's an incredibly overrated piece of equipment.

i'm going to take more of a hit on mine since i need it for work and development, but anticipate selling mine in the near future.
latest rumor is that it's going to have a haptic screen for tactile response, which could be pretty awesome and have some very interesting applications.

all speculation until the announcement at 10am pst, but the general speculation is:
1) retina display screen, great if you read documents/magazines/comics or watch HD movies on a tablet, great for games too.
2) massive processor upgrade, also great for games.
3) LTE, if you use this feature then it's a no-brainer.

Imo droid tablets are just not there yet in terms of interface, app selection, or simply being "the standard." in 3 years maybe, or maybe windoze tabs will be resurgent, but till then I need my latest shiny precious from Cupertino.

You don't need iTunes for the iPad at all anymore, which at least makes the user experience bearable.
That said, it still only runs apps from the app store, which 99% are garbage and the other 1% is Angry Birds.

I do not award stupidity, the amount of anguish, anger, hate and frustration that Itunes has caused me is reason enough to never ever ever ever buy another shitty overpriced hipsterfag apple product EVER AGAIN! EVER! NEVERMORE EVER NEVER! FUKKEN END OF TIME CHUTTULU IN MY BACKPOCKET QOUTH THE FUKKEN RAVEN KNOCKING AT MY GOD DAMN CHAMBER DOOR EVER!

I have no use for an iPad yet but I am looking forward to the day when tablets replace both books and lectures in education. I am also looking forward to the day when tablets replaces printing in business. The amount of money wasted on paper is astonishing. Laptops have helped a bit but the tablet will be instrumental to replacing paper.

So basically the new improvements are:
1) A better processor (was anything even bottle necked as far as hardware requirements on the iPad 2? This will not last long as "ahead of the game"
2) LTE/4g (about time)
3) Retina display (also, about time)
4) ???
Sorry but not impressed
I heard something about haptic texture might make an appearance but I guess not? That would've at least been exciting. This is about as "huge" as the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 4S

Sounds like a pretty underwhelming announcement overall. Now with 4G LTE!
Not really a selling point for most of us who have no interest in an iPad with a data plan.

Pretty much. Apple's greatest achievements haven't been creating amazing hardware, because there's competitors who have made tablets with just as much functionality and performance, it's their marketing

The $99 revamped Apple TV seems more interesting IMHO.
I've been following CNN Tech's Twitter feed on the announcement. Apparently Apple hasn't even given the new iPad's name yet.

The way apple designs products they will rarely be on the cutting edge of technology. Their development times and their emphasis on design make that too difficult.
In the tablet market they are way ahead of the curve on everything and that is why they are dominating it.

I actually feel bad for Apple. They are in a marketing position where its either make or break. They don't have the luxury of other companies to be able to shoot out simple upgrades in hardware, their upgrades have to be substantial and eye opening because that's what the public expects from them, and that's what they expect from themselves. Anything short of a astonishing achievement is a publicity disaster for them

One thing that people that hate on apple don't seem to get is how much apple pushes the market to be more competitive. It is a clear example of why competition really helps innovation and evolution in a market.
They also have huge profits so I wouldn't worry about them too much yet.

fortunately that's what they're passionate about. 
given that they sold 315 million ?devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad) last year, with 62 million in Q4 2011, it seems like they're doing something right. as Tim Stevens said today, most companies would be thrilled to dominate in just one of those spaces.

Bad news. Not only does it look pretty much like the ipad 2, but they're not calling it anything besides "ipad" or "the new ipad."
http://www.apple.com/ipad/
Still it address my big complaint about the 2: the resolution.
