I think they're releasing this today because they know how much of a failure the "new iPad" will be. They're trying to take the focus away from the terrible upgraded iPad.

Yup, I'm sure their sales figures will bear you out.

I'm sure they'll only sell 3 or 4 new iPads.

Yup.

The iPad is an awful tablet and a poor experience compared to the Mac. I love MAC OS X, it's beautiful, intuitive and powerful something which iOS is not!!

"AppleSpeculator - macrumors newbie"...obviously some android d*ck rider who created an account here just to talk smack about Apple.

I on the other hand cannot wait for this update, Apple has a lot of cool things up their sleeves.
