Buy iPad 2 or wait for iPad 3

Should I buy this version or wait for the next version? It is always the question we ask ourselves.

In the case of iPad2, now there is a one-day Black Friday discount, 41$ less. So should you buy it?

Well, it depends. If you really need an iPad now, then sure go for it. If not, it is better just wait. The good thing about Apple is we can easily predict the product cycle. iPod refresh every year, Macs every 9 month , and iPad, every 11-12 month. You can expect a new version comes out in the spring WWDC conference (March/April). Sure, there is a price drop now; however, due to the raise of competition in tablet field, it is not hard to speculate a price drop in the new iPad 3 (or at least, the price will not raise). Now, you must ask yourself, do I satisfy with all the features iPad 2 has? If you answer yes, then you can purchase it before midnight. If you are a high-tech person like me, and cannot afford to buy iPad2 and iPad3, then maybe you should wait. i guess the new version worth 41$ and 4 months waiting (if the price do not drop). Only four month to go. We have waited for 8 months now, I guess we can wait for four more month. And when iPad 3 comes out, I would probably wait in the line like thousands other people did.
