Many of you bring up very good points. I don't think people will hold up a 10" screen to take photos, but they might want to share a moment via FaceTime or snap a pic of a document with GeniusScan to edit on their iPad. And I doubt Apple would release another version of the same product within a year of itself, unless like someone else said another product--ie 7" iPad. As far as the claims that Steve Jobs is against the 7" size, he always denies products until the final launch. Check his history on that. They run a very smart, yet exciting business. I'm a fan and can't wait for that...one more thing.

Geese Louise! How about combining the ipad 2 and the ipad 3 and calling it>>ipad23.This speculation is so far out.Lets just cool our jets a bit.We don't even know the whole story with the ipad 2 yet.

iPad3 = iPad mini, with a 7" screen to position it midway between iPod touch and the iPad2, and possibly with a reflexive screen, targeted at the Kindle/Nook market.

I say a dumb guess. Jobs has already dismissed 7" screens as crap.

Umm. No. Just no. Honestly, I'm not sure why iC does the rumor generation stuff, the other stuff is actually so good, I don't feel you need to feed the speculation buzz, it detracts from your overall cred, in my opinion. And what's with this 2 camera thing, still. Just cause all the other lemmings are convinced of 2 cameras, stop and think... does that make sense? I mean really, holding up a 10 inch device to snap a photo...? REALLY? If it turns out I'm wrong (and the only reason I'd be wrong was because its cheaper to use the iPhone camera part in the device -- something Jonny Ive would cringe at) I'll STFU myself. Now, for the facts: Is there any evidence to support a 'big launch' in the fall. Absolutely. What will it be? Neither John Gruber nor anyone else outside of apple and their suppliers know for sure, but take what you do know: Apple likes OLED, they want bigger OLEDs, LiquidMetal acquisition has yielded only patents on Cell Battery Technology thus far, updated a product 5 months after launch is rarely (if ever) done outside of fixing an issue - doesnt' make business sense (especially when most of thier product lives are 220-330 day update cycles.) Given the facts, not the conjectures, I'd say something portable, ultra-light and lasts for a very, very long time. Given product cycles either I'd say late iPhone 5 or Mac Book update. Only time will tell.

"We will update you as more information becomes available" Why bother waiting for facts, just make something up. Rumours, whispers, guesses and speculation ... the foundation stones of iClarified

Gotta love this site! They take all their news from other sites... twist words around... throw in a question mark or the word "may" and BOOM! Only thing this site has going for them is the Jailbreaking Instructions but really anyone can figure that out they just post pretty pictures. Guess what I'm saying is if IC ever wants to be a actual site you guys better get the crap together and start doing some work yourself and get the facts not the guess.

Ummm STUPID! There has to be an iPad 2 first... Why would people even be thinking about this stupid crap! That's like saying 'I SO PUMPED FOR IPHONE 7 TO COME OUT!!!!!"
