I think you are refering to the rumors of the smaller version floating around. 6months will be too soon a cycle. A new iPhone is slated for that timeframe also. You can get a brand new 1st gen for $399 retail, cheaper online, even cheaper used.

I want to try it out at the Apple store before buying it. I love the current iPad but it doesn't seem as zippy as before. The OS seems to get more bloated with every update, and I can see the performance of my iPad suffer little by little. I'm one of those people who hates it when the app crashes or doesn't close properly with its usual zoom out affect....it bothers me....

I'm not sold on the tablets yet. A laptop seems more functional for minimal size difference.

I had an IPAD, after a month of rarely using it because I found myself still using my laptop, the only thing I liked was the IPAD size, so I went and exchanged the IPAD for a Macbook air and voila, I have something the same size and much more powerful and useful in every way....

Ordered at 4AM, should be waiting for me when I get back from Jordan...

Waited in line at best buy for 4 hours, got 2 iPads. My wife waited in line at Target for 10 min, she got 2 iPads. She wins :(

Depends on how fun the line was :D
