Analyst predicts an iPad Pro will be launched this quarter
According to Ashok Kumar, an analyst for Rodman & Renshaw, Apple will be launching an iPad Pro this quarter aimed at the professional user. The updated iPad will include improvements to the screen resolution and have HD front and rear facing cameras.
A 'professional' iPad would have incremental improvements and possibly appeal to segments such as publishing, according to analysts. "Apple is...expected to roll out a premium version of iPad 2--a higher resolution screen, front-/rear- facing HD cameras--in the current quarter," Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Rodman & Renshaw, wrote in a research note today.The new updated iPad will supposedly be sold alongside the current iPad 2 model and be aimed squarely at the professional market.
We don't normally pay much attention to analyst predictions but the news of an updated iPad model being released this year is nothing new. We are hearing the same information over and over again and from different sources. This could very well be happening; the next few months are going to be very interesting!

with all these reports its bound to be true. Wont hurt much to be honest.
Ya it will. It will hurt the people that bought one on march 11th or just got there hands on one now as stores are finally starting to keep them in stock. And now a new one 6-7 months after. People will be pissed.
It happens all the time in the tech world. Besides you DON'T Have to buy it.
It happens all the time in the android tech world. Not the apple tech world.
Apple relases a new mac about every six months. A Besides maybe they will start. Nothing wrong with an OPEN MIND.
Besides. If Apple did come out with one you'll be saying its the best thing since sliced bread.
Yes they do and I am aware of this. But we are talking about tablets not computers.
same thing. You don';t have to buy a new tablet each time it comes out;
My point exactly! I just got mine a month ago. If they release a "Pro" version, I WILL BE pissed!
why? Did Apple make you buy it? No they did not. It's just like buying an iPhone or ipod a week before the new ones come out.
When I buy something that is normally released annually and marked that way too "2011 year of the iPad 2" I expect no new iPads to come out until the next year. The product is not something u can throw money on every month. Now it cleary shows there is no difference for you, however comparing to something like buying an iPhone a week before the new one launches is really exaggerating it. Its all about their launch cycles and i ,for instance, am not as air-headed as you might picture me, and I know when the tech is outdated and when it is clearly rushed for increase of profits.
Really stupid.
I guess those analysts read Apple rumour sites too.
Was thinking the same thing. The "multiple" sources are one site putting up a rumor, a second site linking to that fist site, and then other sites not wanting to be left out.

"We don’t normally pay much attention to analyst predictions." Really? TiPB is full of Analyst rumor postings. ; )
Just don't see this happening. So many rumors of a prepaid iPhone and iPad Pro, but I seriously don't think Apple would make this kind of decision and segment their product offerings. IPad 3 will release in 2012 with improved resolution, better camera, etc.
The Development of an Analyst Posting....
iHope so.... I'm holding off buying an iPad till it has a retina display!
Apple will be releasing a new ipad....in March/April. No way it comes out now. They just finally got caught up with orders. If they improve screen resolution/cameras now, what do they do in March/April? Apple isn't going to release a new iphone and then a new ipad within a month of each other. They sell every ipad they produce. No reason to release a new one now. Analysts are worse at their jobs than weathermen.
