Personally, I think that even if the rumours are true, by the time the iPad 2 comes to our shore, there'll be rumours about iPad 3 and then you'd be having the same dilemma to either get the iPad 2 or iPad 3

In view of that, you might want to see if you are happy with what the current iPad can do and it's price and if you ok with them, just get it now as technology will always be improving and you will never get the best and optimum feature.

I believe that to help you decide, you might want to go to a shop that sells that Samsung Galaxy (I think it's 7" which is the rumoured iPad 2 size) and see if you are confortable with the size and how you'd look like if you are to use that to take photos also there are new and unique ways to transfer your files and data that you don't really need a USB port like a camera kit or cloud filings.

Good luck in your decision.

7" will never happen

The same reason why he will never ever ever allow optical disk tray for laptops and imacs.

The same reason why iPad may never get Adobe Flash support.

Sometimes i feel its ego over practicability but too bad for the rest of us, he is the big man who decides.

@pmsoo re:Flash why should Apple help Adobe (which has been delaying + lying to them) popularise Flash? why not HTML5 ... at least that's an open standard.

practicability for the consumers, not for us Mcgeekvers

@xaw5126,
You realize that you've just created a new term?
McGeekvers..? This is going in the books. ;p

Spot-on bro

I think if you are just craving for it , by all mean get one like 16 GB , ease your mind with that temporary , new ipad is coming but expect it to hit our shore at around the same time as current iPad. Like other said it is never ending wait , every year will have a new model launched.

I have to agree to Mackiddo and sorry for those 10 countries as well... Nevertheless, the price we get is better than lot's of them who go it first.

I say dun wait. This is IT gadget you can never wait for the best product, everyday there is new update and new product? How long you wanna wait? Just buy it when u need to use it, just wait when u dun really need it.

Best advice I've seen. You need or want it, buy now. You're not sure, don't buy it.

In any case, assuming the ipad2 is announced in feb/mar 2011, I believe ori units will only be launched for sale here in end-2011, like the ipad1.

I bought the 16GB wifi+3g model on 1st Dec, sold it off on the 30th and am now holding the 64GB wifi+3g model. Need more space for games ha ha..

Wahh.. U install a lot of games...ipad 2 got how many space

How would I know, I'm not Steve Jobs..

I suspect we'll see a 128GB ipad2 to 'upgrade' over the 64gb ipad1 he he..

+1 Let's hope for it, games files are getting bigger and bigger now, 120 GB will be a nice one if you are a gamer , but actually for lazy guy like me because I synched so many games in my iPad but never really touched it. Lol. So if let's say I only store the game I play and apps I use , 32GB also more than enough , but if the new iPad 2 max size is 120 I would still getting it

When there's iPad2, you will create another thread and ask if it's worth waiting for iPad3 In short, you will never buy an iPad because the wait never ends. This is technology so if you want it, just go out and buy.

yeah true true how long u wanna wait?

I was about to buy it until I saw Lowyat news saying iPad will be announce in 100 days or less. I was considering and thought ok maybe I should wait. I didnt get the iPhone4 when it came out either, I had the HTC Desire and was happily rooting away on every rom I can find on the Internet until I got fed up and stick with one device, one OS concept.

I am aware that there will never be a perfect device. Like many of you said, if I waited for iPad2, iPad3 will be in rumor and announced. I will just wait 100 days from now and see how. Hahaha... Thanks for sharing your thoughts here.
