With the internet going crazy about the possible March 2nd announcement

Apple iPad 2 'to be unveiled on 2 March' | Technology | guardian.co.uk

I am now glad i didn't buy an Ipad today.

I am going to USA mid April -will they be stocked by then if this is the announcement.

Also, failing that people may try and sell theirs to upgrade meaning a cheap Ipad1??

Define "cheap" for the iPad 1? 16gb wifi models are selling for $425-$450 in my area right now, which is ridiculous.

Also, the Ipad 2 will most likely not be sold immediately when they announce it in March, if they announce it in March. They launched the iPad 1 in April and May, which is probably what they will do again this time. And I wouldn't expect them to be in stock for a while, both due to the demand from the public and the feeling I get that Apple likes the frenzy it creates of having a shortage of supply. Having iPads sold out for months tells the consumer that its a hot item and that they MUST HAVE ONE BECAUSE EVERYONE ELSE IS BUYING IT!!!!!!

As far as I know, it was delayed to be announced only on June.
There is a problem in one of the production facilities in Taiwan.
Here is one example for that rumor:

My understanding is that the main difference between the present version of the iPad, and the new version, is that the new version has a camera.

I've got a camera. I've got an iPad. I am quite content.

Same, I mean wanted a cam for chatting, but really I am not going to sell my ipad just to drop more money for a camera.

It's just a camera. If you want to talk to people with a camera use skype, if don't have an iPhone, but still, it's just a camera. It's easy enough to import photos already.
Also, I'm not sure I would hold an ipad to face to take a photo as it would look a little funny but anyway,

Thought rumour was for dualcore with double the ram.
Much more important than clunky cams
