If you hold out a little bit longer Bumpa, the next iPad will have a 1080p HD video camera with true image stabilization, an iPhone built in, a BluRay DVD player AND burner, 2.4GhZ dual processors, 500GB of storage, expandable memory, and although it comes with Apple OS you can also load Windows XP if you partition the drive. Same screen size as the current, but .75 pounds and only $550.
Oh... almost forgot - 7.1 channel surround with 150 watt subwoofer built in.
The longer you wait the better the product. The longer you wait, the cheaper the product. The longer you wait, the longer you don't have anything.

Apple: Cook Not Going to HP
By Tiernan Ray
Just another day in Palo Alto: Apple (AAPL) had a sharp gap down this morning, apparently as rumors circulated that Apple COO Tim Cook was going to be offered the top spot at Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which continues to seek a replacement for Mark Hurd and which is holding its analyst day today.
Not true, says Gleacher & Co.€™s Brian Marshall, who follows Apple. He called me a short while ago to say he€™d just run into Tim Cook in Palo Alto, had coffee, and asked him about the rumor.
€œTim Cook will not be going to HP, he loves Apple,€ Marshall tells me Cook told him.
(Cook had his iPad on him this morning, Marshall noted; no indication of what app(s) he was running.)
As for Research in Motion€™s (RIMM) €œPlaybook€ tablet, unveiled last night, Gleacher€™s Marshall thinks the company will mostly have success among its installed base of BlackBerry customers. He projects 50 million tablet computers of various stripes being sold next year, and says that Apple will probably get consumers€™ dollars €œ9 times out of 10.€
Despite a feature list that€™s long for the Playbook €” front-facing camera, Flash support €” €œwhich is the more productive device?€ asks Marshall. He thinks the iPad is, as well as being the device consumers actually crave owning. And the next iPad will be coming in Q1 of next year, he argues, likely with a front-facing camera for FaceTime video conferencing.
Marshall thinks the jury€™s still out on the 7-inch form factor of the Playbook, and says Apple could do something in that area, but he sees the company continuing to focus on the iPad€™s current form factor.
Apple shares this morning have regained some ground, now down $3.83, or 1.3%, at $287.33.
Note: the comments on the Playbook tablet were from Brian Marshall, not from Tim Cook, as incorrectly cited in the earlier version of the post. My apologies for the error.

I'll wait also.
Not such a bad idea...
My galaxy s running on 2.1 has some issues that are frustrating... notably the lag and previously mentioned cookie issues.
I've read android 2.2 solves the lag due to much faster processing so that will be a step in the right direction. Hopefully that release will be out very shortly
Love the phone but had to send it off to the repair shop to have its entire software replaced
Found out a little about android OS that i didn't know and don't like.
Seems like my carrier is a cheap charlie and i have substandard software... there are many version of android 2.1 ... this i didn't know
Anyways... be interesting to see if the cookie issue and bloomberg issue are sorted once the final aussie release of 2.1 is re-installed on my handset.
