I am debating on whether to get a 3rd generation iPad or wait for Mar/Apr of next year to get the new model. I was an iPad2 user but sold mine as the 3rd gen was being released. In that time, I ended up changing to a small/thin laptop Lenovo laptop and found I didn't have quite the same need for the iPad anymore. I will be changing jobs and will be stuck in meetings more often so I am thinking about getting an iPad again.
Having just upgraded to an iPhone5, I am expecting them to integrate some of the same technology into their next iPad (A6 chip, in-cell touch screen, larger capacity battery, lightning dock plug). I am planning on using the iPad to be a tool for quick web browsing and email access while on the go so the only thing keeping me from buying the current model is the possibility that the new screen and cpu will lead to an even thinner and quicker tablet. I have several friends who have the current iPad and it does look great and feels zippy, just thought I would crowd-source for opinions.
Just in case any of you were suggesting a droid tablet like the ASUS Transformer Infinity, I have used Android OS on both phones and tablets as a tech at work and though I appreciate some of the awesome features, I am happier with iOS. Don't get me wrong, great design and good hardware but I just am not in love with Android.
