The jump to iPad3 is going to be like the jump to iPhone4 - it is going to leave the previous generations with pathetically low resolution screens. Why anyone would buy an iPad2 now, when it will be obsolete within a few months is beyond me. Oh yeah, I forgot. Most people think of them as toys, so a pathetically short product lifespan is fine with them...

How dare tech companies release improved products like CPUs, GPUs, laptops, smartphones, computer cases, TVs, etc etc etc, every year.

How dare they.

The same appears true of all smartphones, tablets, and laptops. As soon as they're out, the company's on to design the next product.

At least they don't depreciate as dramatically as a new car!

My key point is that the major gadget buying holiday is right before a very large jump forward. Android is a bit different, they incrementally improve year-round. Apple takes bigger leaps and the time you DON'T want to buy (and get good value) is during the few months prior to an update. That is why the launch is poorly timed. It will dampen Xmas purchases. If iPad3 came in August, no biggie. If it comes out in March there will be a lot of annoyed customers.
