    I download a few of the CNET podcasts and they've always been pretty accurate on predictions. I can't see Apple introducing a new version until next year- besides the new display, there's the '4G' compatability (iPhone will likely be the first with this), and frankly- being an engineer, though a prototype may already be in the hands of a few choice engineers, a Fall timeframe allows too short a beta testing period and from a marketing standpoint, a lot of loyal customers would be quite angry. The CNET pundits call the iPad 2 the "iPad 1.5"- a "tweener" if you will- between version 1 and version 3.....

    Jeff, the one area of question I have is that Verizon actually had an untouchable LTE iPad in their booth at CES in January. I really was expecting an LTE version of the iPad, and can't imagine it being a "bump" like the Verizon CDMA iPhone 4 was. Perhaps the iPhone 5 will be LTE, but that would be a tough approach: do they then have 3 versions or do they build one that can talk to all three networks? Or...?

    More questions than answers right now...

    I just got my iPad2 in the mail. The improved speed is very noticeable in Logos. Also, the form factor isn't much but it's enough to make reading a mroe enjoyable endeavor.
