Considering the iPad 3 and the iPhone 4S were in development while Steve was here, you can't' blame Cook for that.

It's entirely Cooks fault.
It's probably even in the negatives. Like there's a higher chance they'll take away some iMacs from the lineup!
That's not my point.
I know what the iPad got, I got both of them. My point was, that I just want more features than just a Retina display and a better back camera for at least $500.
I want Retina, A5X processor, 5-mp back camera sure, but I also want FaceTime HD front camera, Siri, and something that's actually NEW.
Retina was new to me on iPhone 4, I had never had a camera as good as on that phone, I had never tried out Micro-SIM before and had never had a phone with a front camera. That brought new things with it, like 4S gave us Siri and an even better camera.
I want something NEW in my iPad 3.

Haptic feedback maaaaaan.That's not my point.

You have iPad2? Then iPad 3 isn't for you (as much). Apple always increment their yearly updates to encourage older upgrades or new users, not more recent purchasers. Occasionally they will blow the previous model out of the water, but that's not common. The iPhone 4 was one.
You're saying you want something NEW, keep in mind, not everyone has an iPhone 4. The iPad3 will be everything new to them.
Also, there'll likely be some functionality in software that they'll market alongside the new iPad and its new screen.
You're not alone. I'm excited too!
Got an Apple TV2 at Christmas and bought an iPad 2 myself in December.
I'm pretty sure there won't be anything new in iPad 3, but even if I don't expect it, I'm entitled to hope so, that's the funny part of it all. I waited for iPad 3 until two months ago when I caved and bought an iPad 2.

Definitely not alone.
I'm more curious about Apple TV 3 than I am iPad 3. (I own an iPad 1 and an ATV2 for reference)
Specifically, I'm hoping for an actual App Store.. essentially an IOS for ATV.

No, I'm not insane, and I don't believe Cook is boiling over. The big reveal for the iPad 3 isn't expected to be the physical design. It never was, contrary to the iPhone 4 in which the design was the biggest thing. Not sure if your post was sarcasm, but either way I stand by my view that Apple doesn't give a shit and this won't affect anything in the least. If they managed to get a fully working model and showed off iOS with new software and the retina display, that would be something else entirely.
Anyone know if there will be a livestream? If not, I might just go on a news/media blackout (as insane difficult as it may be) and just wait for the full keynote to be posted.

News to me. I've had the TouchPad for 6 months and did not know this. Oh, it requires an accessory which costs a million dollars. Yeah I'll pass.
Yeah I agree, especially since the biggest new feature (haptic feedback) hasn't been leaked yet

I think if it were released by a post-iOS-Apple we would have seen a much more successful device.
The fact that it released without any sort of app support hurt it's sales... and the fact that it didn't make Apple much money, hurt it's chances of Apple putting much effort into it's development.
But hopefully they've seen the light.

The main thing I really want is reduced weight. Retina displays and bigger batteries would be lovely additions but I really want to be able to hold this thing for longer than 5 minutes in one of wimpy hands.
this is the dumbest story I've ever seen on the internet.
With the larger battery I can see the weight actually going up this time.

Uh, it's interesting tidbit. Raises the possibility that iPads wil be available the DAY OF, or the day after the conference, which would be pretty insane. I don't think any other company could pull that off, especially with those quantities.
The time it takes from announcement and purchase seems to be getting smaller and smaller with ios devices. Not totally out of the realm of possibility.

That would be totally crazy, if true. I am expecting a release date of the 16th, but in my heart or hearts I really want to believe it's a March 9th release.
Hour 2 without iPad. Feeling anxious. Uncomfortable twitching in my appendages. Malaise. It's got to get worse before it gets better, right?
Guess I should start adding wallpapers to my photostream...
iMore (pinned announcement date) now claiming LTE is IN

I am in iPad withdrawal mode, so day of or even this Friday would be awesome for launch. I just hope I can buy it online somewhere without hassle.

The iPhone 4S has battery life slightly lower than the iPhone 4 (except for talk time, which is increased). They just put the numbers up.

You're right, get rid of the kindle.
Heh it's a Gen2. Honestly my setup is current a gen2 kindle and my iphone. I was debating between an iPad 3 and a MBA for a while, but decided I do need the MBA as I will be returning to graduate school part time again this fall.
A iPhone+iPad+MBA combo just seems excessive.

I've heard big phones are the new trend. Get rid of that iPhone and use a 3G iPad for VoIP calls!

Really? Do you have (or used to have) a wifi only iPad?
What is your use case for each device? The only way I can think to do it is
iPhone - on the go in areas with no Wifi
iPad - reading books, magazines. Internet stuff when connected to wifi
MBA - Schoolwork/UNIX programs I will use for graduate school. Writing my mock research papers.
... Oh god, I just justified the holy trinity. Is there any rumors to AT&T coming up with a unified data plan?

I don't believe that's it, I remember a month ago a report came out that Apple originally had intended to use Sharps new IGZO single led back-lighting system that allowed for a single light source, which was thinner then the normal back light. However somehow that deal fell through and at the last minute apple had to switch to a 2 light bar system which made the system slightly thicker then the ipad 2. Energy usage for the screen is actually suppose to be the same or less. But who knows, its all speculation.

My iPad is WiFi only. Plenty of WiFi options around when I'm not at home, but the iPad has a lot of functionality that doesn't require Internet like books, magazines, videos, games, etc. All that said, i do have a 4G WiFi hotspot with unlimited data at my disposal as well. Wasn't about to pay for a data plan locked to a single device. Works on my laptop, iPad, PS Vita, iPhone, etc.
As for cases, my iPad 1 is in the original Apple case, which has protected it just fine. When I get the iPad 3 (Day 1!) I'll probably go smartcover. My iPhone is naked. No need for a case and I have a sleeve for my MacBook Air that I use when traveling. Otherwise I just toss it in my messenger bag or backpack when just heading out around town.

So close ^^
I decided to get an iPad 2 in August but convinced myself to wait for the 3/HD. It's been a tough wait but i'm ready to dive in.

0.7 mm. We're talking the width of a few human hairs. So yeah.
It'll be interesting if LTE will be US only.
I got an iPad 2, iPhone 4, MacBook Air and a Kindle Touch. Yet, I'm contemplating buying the iPad 3.
iPhone 4: For everything on the go
Kindle Touch: For reading books
MacBook Air: For work
iPad 2: For Skype with the family
iPad 3: Consuming / Entertainment
I don't like it, but you do have a point.

No he doesn't, and anyway that post was a joke. Second to Jobs, Cook was always the one most responsible for Apple's success. Apple is in good hands. The 4S was greenlit by Jobs months before it was unveiled no doubt. And it's the best selling device in Apple's history. That's called a fuck-up?
2011 - there was only 1 single apple product with a new design: iPad 2.
Iphone 4s was same as 4
MBA was same as 2010 MBA
AppleTV came out in 2010
iPod touch same as 2010
blah blah
While I'm not saying Cook isn't to blame, 2011 was not exactly setting the world on fire for design innovation - which is when Jobs was alive.

He better be to blame (more like thank). Not redesigning the exterior of everything every year is a good thing, it makes sense financially, environmentally, increases production capabilities, etc.
We can wait 2 or 3 years between complete redesigns.
