Traveling being cut back dramatically due to expenses.

My culo is itching badly.

FYI from MacRumors:

The source of today's report also indicates that the iPad being introduced tomorrow should be considered more of a spec bump of the existing model than a true revamp. A more ambitious revamp is reportedly scheduled for later this year.

The Apple staffer declined to give details about the iPad 2 or 3, but said:

"For the iPad 2 don't get your hopes up too high. That's all I'm going to say. They've had a number of problems along the way, and the third-generation iPad is the one to make a song and a dance about."

Tony,
Just about everything I have read says the 3 for later this year will be 7" version or so, to fall in between an iPod/iPhone and the current iPad.
Would make sense given the flooding of the market with smaller size tablets.
I am wound up for the 2 regardless of what it is, even if it looks like my avatar.

If the 3 turns out to be better, I will just have sold my second iPad on eBay come that time.

BTW,
Is it Wednesday yet?

I think this is a sure sign they will be available right away.

I am itching to get one myself. It is the one piece of mac hardware I don't own yet. And even though I have told myself countless times that I don't want one, deep down I do.

I guess I will have the 2 until September.
