iPad 2 Coming in Spring
The second version of Apple's iPad will arrive in April and be thinner, sleeker and feature "super high resolution," Engadget reported Sunday, citing sources close to Apple.

The site also reported the new iPad will add two cameras and an SD card slot, and remain at 10 inches.

The report also indicated that the iPhone 5, which will arrive in the summer, will be a "completely redesigned handset" which like the new iPad will feature a Qualcomm chipset. A new version of Apple TV is also said to be on the way.

Consumer Reports Assails Verizon iPhone
Consumer Reports' opinion of the iPhone hasn't improved a whole lot, even with the addition of Verizon Wirelss as a carrier.

In a blog post published over the weekend the magazine, which famously pulled its recommendation of the device during last year's antenna brouhaha, called the Verizon version "promising, but likely to be short-lived."

"The Verizon Wireless iPhone 4 has plenty in its favor, especially compared with its AT&T sibling," editors Paul Reynolds and Mike Gikas wrote on the magazine's official blog. "But it may be quickly replaced by a newer, cooler version more quickly than is customary even for the die-young life expectancy of most smart phones."

Yeah, but in this case they're right - the phone comes out in February and the gets replaced with the newer cooler slicker version in June? You gotta really want one to blow .300 large for something that'll be obsolete in 4 months.

My wife really wanted an iPad but couldn't bring herself to spend $500 for one. This may push her over the edge.

Doesn't excuse their previous bad ratings for the iPhone4, which is a great phone and the antenna "issue" is a joke. If you have problems, just get one of a bazillion different cases available for it. Nobody I know carries an iPhone without some sort of case anyway. By far the best phone I've ever had. The droids are really nice now, I'll give you that.

Until Verizon has an iPhone that runs on their 4g network, there is no reason to switch. The 3g network the iPhone will be running on at Verizon is slower than AT&T's.

It hasn't been a year since MaxIpad 1 came out and now they have #2, what a crock. They had 2 all ready to go when the first one came out they were just waiting for an acceptable time to pass before they released it.

Electronic manufacturers whether they be in computers or A/V are the biggest abusers of Planned Obsolescence it's not even funny.
