Wait, you're telling me people are actually looking forward to an iPad3? For fuck's sake, didn't iPad 2 just come out this year? How much money do apple fans have to keep getting a new iPhone/iPad every year?

Last iPad came out in march 2011, and at the rate the tablet market is growing, apple need to release a new one to keep up with competition and demand. Oh, and I guess a lot of people get contracts so they don't have to pay in full upfront.

That's ridiculous. Unless the changes are radical, it doesnt deserve a new one so fast. I suppose an upgrade is reasonal if the difference isn't too much but I just don't see why people are so obsessed with having everything up to date, no matter the price, which then allows comapanies like Apple to throw half-assed "new" products which the consumer will eat up either way. You cannot compete with technology, because as soon as you get the new model, the next is already in the woks. I mean if you are always looking forward to the next model, you will never own one.
