I believe it will be available in March or April. My evidence? The Apple store is now selling "refurbished" iPads at pretty decent discounts. This almost always happens right before they update a product: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/ipad It's not scientific, but Apple generally tries to clear inventory of the current model by selling brand new units as "refurbished" through their online store a week or two in advance. By the way, this method of predicting when an Apple product is about to be updated has never steered me wrong in the past.
