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!

The Development of an Analyst Posting....
3a. OK...Apple is always good for something. Let's fire up the PC.
3b. Sure do love that Windows XP....now THAT'S an OS. None of this stupid animal garbage.
3c. Come on, IE 7...don't fail me now...
6a. (thinking)
6b. (thinking)
6c. I need to email a cat picture to Mom...she's just upstairs, but she'll think it's neato.
11a. Oh...and it'll run on Linux...IOS...what kind of a stupid name is that for an operating system. It'll never fly.
11b. And Phil Schiller has signed off on it...he's using one RIGHT NOW.
11c. And here's a picture of a Chinese case for it. Nice!
11d. And this thing will make IBM put an offer on Apple Computers Company.
It happens all the time in the tech world. Besides you DON'T Have to buy it.
iHope so.... I'm holding off buying an iPad till it has a retina display!
Apple relases a new mac about every six months. A Besides maybe they will start. Nothing wrong with an OPEN MIND.
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.
Besides. If Apple did come out with one you'll be saying its the best thing since sliced bread.
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.
same thing. You don';t have to buy a new tablet each time it comes out;
