Apple is slowing down iPad 2 production, gearing up for the iPad 3

I don't know. I think Amazon has the right idea. $200 for a tablet is about where the price should be. And it's about damn time. There is no reason that Apple should have a cheaper tab than other people...but that was the case for a very long time.

The iPad 2 was released over 8 months ago, on March 11th.

Weird, I can't delete my own comments?

No there's only one tablet right now. It's just like the iPod market. Only reason android is doing well in smartphone market is iPhone wasn't on all carriers and subsidies.

I think there are many other reasons that Andriod is doing well and you seem to be discounting the actual usefullness of not only the OS but the devices that it runs on. Apple is not the end all be all of electronic manufacturers. Some people like what Andriod has to offer.

Very few people actually like android as can be seen by their dismal dust sat ratings.

With 54% market share on smart devices I dont exactly see how you can say that very few people like android. I cant argue that Apple currently dominates the market on tablet devices but with the new kindle and the more android devices come out they are bound to lose atleast some of the share in the tablet market. I have also read this website long enough to know that you will never post anything from a non bias standpoint.

thats probably true. I have a feeling that the ipad3 might be coming out soon so they can start hitting ipads at different price points (and probably sizes ) in response to android chomping 30% of the market share in 8 months.

Unless they do something drastic with the OS though, i still think W8 is going to be the eventual tablet leader (unless MS messes up as well). Apple is dominant now, but the tablet market is just an infant. There is still plenty of room for everyone to grow and plenty of time for the leadership to change hands a few times.

I wish they'd put Siri on my iPad 2

If they really do the "retina" display, it's not going to be a "slightly" better screen, it's going to be dramatically better.

??? How many products have Siri, or a Quadcore processor?

I agree. I won't get it either. The current PC dominant OS will be hitting the market hard with Win8. Cupertino is just waiting in the wings. ever hear of the story of the tortois and the hare. In this example, Cupertino will end up being the hare. Late!

Are you stupid?

And really not different in specs either--so in two years since the ipad 1 came out--Jan 2010--they only added a camera...I would bet the Ipad3 only comes with Siri.......and the whole crowd will roar----Wow-------and go camp out in front of stores awaiting it's arrival..
