re: lack of home button...it may be pictured in landscape mode.

I am curious about the iPad 3 but I doubt I will buy it.
I am happy with my iPad 2, it has enough features for me, being the large 64GB model with 3G.
It runs all apps I want it to run.

I might like to have a higher screen resolution, though, but it's not really an urgent necessity for me.
Pro Evolution Soccer in a better resolution would be cool, though, now that I think about it.

I think the 4S is the best piece of technology i ever owned in my whole life, even if Suri is not working good in German language. At work we make fun of Suri because it never works for any of us. When we insult it saying 'Du Miststück', it starts playing a Moby song and weird things like that. But the rest of the 4S is just awesome. Even the size is perfect because of the great screen quality.

So my expectations for the ipad 3 are quite high, but I don't really wanna spend money on that atm.

Nevertheless, I am curious what Tim Cook will present to us next week.

wait.. couldn't it be a touch screen for existing computers? or an actual tablet computer or something?

Who says it's going to be another ipad?

Or maybe a drinks tray or paperweight. Hey - how about....wait, no this is really cool - how about a frisebee? Yea - iFrisbee kewl

I really like my iPad. Now I use my laptop just for music but it will take long time to be able to run things like Studio one or Cubase on such a thing, and for many reasons, starting with the price for the apps. I can't see Cubase for $99. What I could see is owners of the regular version getting the iPad app for a minimal price.

iPad 2s with faster processor and graphics- Retina style display- and likely one killer app that will make use of it which they will market it completely around (like Final Cut iOS). Then a new Apple TV 2s (hahaha)- does 1080p so you can Airplay the new HD video you just created. Don't forget the iPhone 4S camera and of course, Siri- you can't leave her out.

That will be it- I am putting my bets on it (I sell this stuff so it only makes sense from what I see on the stock side of things).

I think iPad 3 will come out with iPhone 5 running iOS 6. Time to put my crystal ball done and get back to music.

I will buy it
