This might not mean anything, but here goes. 
  
My friend's dad works at Apple as a software engineer or something, and my friend was asking if he could have an iPad 3. The dad says, "Well I don't know, [name].... maybe you should wait a little while." 
  
"....why?" 
  
"Well I don't know... in case apple announces something new." 
  
O_O "What?? Like what? iPad 4???" 
  
"hmmm.... just wait a couple weeks.." 
  
  
So yeah, take that how you want. But sounds to me like Apple might be coming out with something big soon. o.o
