Apple has never been shy about cannibalizing its own user base when there's money to be made.

User base, not product base.

Mac Mini, Apple Air, iPod Nano, etc. Those products kept some people from buying a Mac, a MacBook or iPod.

I'm sure plenty of people thought that releasing the iPhone would kill sales of the iPod. It didn't happen, and it's been their greatest triumph as a company.

I can believe Apple is testing 7-8 inch iPads, because you can. But for actual consumer consumption? I'm really skeptical. The only successful smaller tablet has been the Fire. Idk, we will see next month.

In an argument with Amy about getting the Ipad 3. She thinks it would be a waste of money, since I got the Ipad 2 less than a year ago... I think about all the money I have made with it and want a faster processor.. ah tech and finances. hehehehe. Any good points I could make to her besides faster processor, better camera?

Well, right now you can't really make any concrete points since it hasn't been announced yet :)

Yeah, here's one: I don't REALLY need two kidneys! :)

Well, we still don't know all of what it has. I'd say wait till its announced and then we can talk about it eheh. And rumors aren't a good way to decide product buying. If we went by last year's rumors of the iPhone 5/4S, it was a super-thin phone with a 4.3" screen and 24 hours of battery life powered by a Quad-core processor with near-field communication. Talk about insane.

BWHahahaha!

An educated guess would suggest we will be looking at high screen resolution and faster processor and possibly Siri features. I think you'll struggle convincing Amy you need this Rick! :)

One thing to emphasise would be the high resell value of the iPad 2 so an upgrade to the iPad 3 may not cost that much all things considering.

But...if Apple discounts brand new iPad2's, how to it be possible to sell your old iPad2 for enough to absorb some of the cost of the iPad3 to make the transaction viable? I'm curious...because I'd like to look into that myself!

It'll come down to timing :)

The best way would probably to sell your iPad 2 very soon, before any of these Apple discounts show up. You may have to live without your iPad for a little that way.

Rick keep your iPAD 2 and get an Apple re-furb MacBook air 11" http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC969LL/A I like mine better then my iPAD or Macbook pro.... you will be able to do more and make more $$$ with that. When the iPAD 4comes out go for it. I am still using the iPAD 1 and it more then capable for me .
