Apple teased that it had "a little more to show" us prior to today's San Francisco event, but it's clear now that the phrasing was humble at best. Not only has the much-anticipated, rumored and leaked 7.9-inch iPad mini been officially revealed, but so has a smattering of
new and refreshed offerings across its range of gizmos

Its not rocket science. Apple comes out with a new connector, new iPhone, iTouch, iPods, etc...... It was only very likely that they would be update the majority of their line for the new connector. Any one who buy every single new generation is going to be disappointed. I myself stick to upgrading every other, or every couple generations.
I have the iPad 2 and the 3 wasnt a big enough incentive to upgrade. Now with the 4 I think it had improved enough to be worth it, even though im still very happy with my 2.
Its the day of fast paced technology upgrades, nothing new, its been happening since the early 2000's. Dont get so POed about the little thing, far more important stuff in life to worry about.

i watched the keynotes but there was no mention of the release date or even hint of a release date for the iPad4. does anyone have a guess as to whether it will be released for late holiday this year or 1st quarter next year? i've got an iPad2 and can wait. i really wanted the mini, but, i chose not to get it because it didn't have the retina display. if it had said display, i'd be buying that despite the spec's on the upcoming iPad4.
another interesting thing, do we expect that they will now release a mini to shadow last years version of every iPad released as a new generation of iPad gets announced? Or, at some point, will they release the same tech in just the two sizes regular & mini?

I heard the lightning connector also adds more security for apple against jail breakers and 3rd party computer program's making it harder to access limiting the access holes for jailbreaks etc. which means any other software you use now other than iTunes may not work on the new devices. Even with an lightning to 30 pin adapter not all your accessories are guaranteed to work either.
Like the iPad mini, the iPad 4 can be ordered on Oct. 26 for delivery on Nov. 2. And, 4G-enabled models will ship a few weeks later at the end of November.

I wish apple had can official policy for people who got duped get some iTunes vouchers, however nothing will substitute the feeling that goes with missing out from such quick hardware updates. I remember the feeling when the better and cheaper iPad 2 came out few months after I had bought the ipad 1
I just got a shipment date of Nov. 26.
Oh, and I ordered a 64GB 4G model. The wifi models are supposed to ship earlier.

Do you reckon that Apple is shifting their "annual" release dates from March to October? Is it possible that the iPad was always intended to be only an interim product? Inquiring minds want to know!
BTW, I just pre-ordered my iPad 4 to replace my iPad 2. Daughter will inherit the iPad 2.
