The *new*, new iPad ... will the iSheeple feel 'had'?

  So apple just released the new new IPad ... almost 2x the performance in CPU, GPU, WiFi, LTE etc...

  Makes me wonder, is that the reason that the last iPad didn't get a number? They must have known and already been working on this version as the 'proper' one but some pieces of tech weren't ready so the last one was a stop-gap release. If so, I wonder how the iSheeple will react once they wise up? If I'd bought a new iPad I'd be pretty pissed that it was old-hat in just 6 months.

  Interesting that the old one isn't for sale anymore but the iPad 2 *is*. Maybe the new iPad will be hanceforth known as the iPad 3 and there will be no mention of the 'new iPad' ("what a rediculous name ... we never made such a thing!")

  New light, from a different cult.

  I bought an iPad yesterday, I figured even if I bought one the day after a new version is released it will still be out of date within a year. I like my Google nexus 7 for its portability.

  Thank you, Simon. I don't much, if anything, about the iPad or other apple products.

  If I have an iTouch and an iPad why would I want something in the middle size wise? I don't get it. Actually I have an iPad 2. The iPad 3 has a better camera and Siri. I'm not rushing out to get an iPad 3 or the mini. As long as I can get the updates I'm cool.

  One of my iPads broke. It's what happens when you let the kids play Angry Birds. I just gave away my other one. I am now iPadless. Both were original models. Am looking to get an Android based tablet soon.

  Ooops pushed the wrong button.

  I am biased as I use a Nexus 7 and a Samsung Galaxy S111. Both a fraction of the cost of Apple products and more freedom for free stuff.

  I much prefer Android. My phone is an HTC Vivid. Runs great. I wanted a Galaxy S3, but they had a great deal on the HTC, and the specs were very good. I couldn't justify spending another couple of hundred more each for both my wife and I.
