iPad 3 to debut Q3 2012 as iPad 4

Take the latest whispers from Taiwan as gospel and you won't have to sacrifice your earnings to the Church of Jobs for an iPad 3 until Q3 2012.

Go Ipad 2T..!

Cult of Jobs?

Surely it's now the Cult of Cook...or maybe the Cult of Fruit...or Fruitcakes.

Yeah, I know. I'm going.

I'm surprised they don't just distrubute these products on a subscription basis. People are paying annually anyway, might as well do it with a standing order.
