I waited 6 months after the iPad 1 came out to buy it, but it has been attached to my hand ever since. I was thinking of selling it this week, but considering how long it took the guys to jailbreak the iPad 2, I thought I would hang on to it until there is a working iPad 3 jailbreak, which could still be six months away, seeming they have to work their way through the A5X processor as well as the iOS 5.1 update.
I will still buy the iPad 3 at launch. I never upgraded from my 3GS since I spend so much time on the iPad instead of the phone, so I can justify having two iPads for a while.

I have an iPad 1 and an iPad 2. I sold my iPad 1 for $75 less than I paid for it after using it for a year. I will wait and see what the offerings are today. If the iPad 3 isn't all that much of an upgrade I'll be hoping for a price cut on iPad 2. I'll use a Best Buy gift card and the money from the sale of my iPad 1 to fund the purchase. It's good to have options I guess.
I literally just got the iPad 2 a couple weeks ago. I got the iPad 1 about 5 months before the 2 launched. So no upgrade planned for me anytime soon! If I hadn't gotten the 2 as a present, I would probably be getting the 3 in a few months. I could have had the 2 returned as I knew the 3 was ready for release within several weeks, but nope, I'm quite thrilled having my brand new 2, and for that matter, I still use my 1 as well. I certainly can't see having the 3 anytime soon for me, and perhaps maybe skip it altogether-can't predict the future. All I know is, my 2 is brand new and I'm enjoying every second of it and I don't even use the cameras, and the increased speed is nice, but I have no issue with the 1's speed for that matter so it's not like I'm going to be all bent that the 3's processor is quicker. The 1 runs more than efficiently for me as it is, but I don't mind the 2 being a bit quicker. Since the 1 and 2 are quite fast enough for me, a quicker processor is nice, but my bottom line is battery life, period, and both the 1 and 2 rock at that, so I'm good to go.

IPod 3 all the way...
As much as I love my iPod 2, the new display is a no brainier upgrade for me. It wasnt even debatable in my mind. The other upgrades are a note worthy as well. The screen is the most important interface between you and the devise. It's a big deal. This is not a iPod 2 1/2. There is no logical reason not to upgrade unless the cost is the issue. My iPod 2 is not going anywhere. My wife and kids will fight over it.

I'm underwhelmed by iPad 3, so am going to skip it.
I have 1 and 2 and like the convenience of swapping my unlimited 3G SIM back and forth when I need to grab whichever is fully charged before I head out the door. I like iPad 3's better screen, but that's the only real draw for me, and that's not enough to make it worthwhile for now.
I was ready to buy if tempted, but meh. I have an unused gift card that I probably won't be using for another year. (Unless Apple comes up with a 7" or 8" iPad, lol.)

I'm still wondering what all of those who were 'underwhelmed' or feel 'jipped' were expecting? A drastic screen upgrade, improved cameras, processor and GPU incremental update (in all likelihood more onboard RAM as well) among several other tweaks and changes....
The new Ipad is more of a step than the iPad 2 was?

I wasn't expecting anything in particular. I figure it's Apple's job to tempt me, lol.
If I were buying a new iPad, I'd get the latest version now. But I already have 1 and 2, so I needed more compelling reasons to get a 3. I'm not keen on 4G, so that was a deal breaker for me.

X2. Unless you want the next iPad made out of platinum, have a sd slot, play flash,and priced at $99.00. I don't get what would excite you in a tech toy??
