Apple announced the iPad in January and released it in April to give developers and the tech world time to prepare for it’s arrival. If you recall with the iPhone they did the exact same thing.. (iPhone shown in January ’07 then released later). Since then an iPhone has been announced in the summer for a summer release.
So assuming apple will announce the iPad early this year then release it a few months later because “that’s what they did last year” is stupid. Why would they want to put ANY damper whatsoever on current gen iPad sales? Even if it’s only a few months?

Mr. Frederick is right. Announcement probably on Tuesday, January 25. Maybe a week later. Apple itself doesn’t know at this point. Delivery on Friday, April 1. Apple will need to ramp up production prior to delivery, and two months of building its order book should be a nice, sharp spike in April net earnings. Apple really doesn’t need to deliver in February, but it wouldn’t mind dampening the sales of any would-be competitors.

He says “…announced” not released which, like the other commentor said falls right in line with what Apple announced last year. It’s funny how people read/see what they want to fit their purpose. You’re article should have been titled “Kevin Rose…tell us something we don’t know”

Remember that Apple announced the original iPad in January. It just didn’t ship until April. No reason to believe it couldn’t be the same this year, imo.
