The way I look at it, after the initial purchase, upgrading with each new release is really not that expensive. I paid $630 for the iPad2 when that came out. I sold it for $400 last weekend. The new iPad will be $630 as well so I am "losing" $230 for the upgrade. Now, many iPad users skip a generation which means that their current device will lose even more value before they upgrade. $230 each year on a device that I use literally every day is a tiny price to pay to keep current on my technology. It's really the same price as buying a completely new device every 2.5yrs which is not so outrageous given the current rate of innovation. That being said, I can't think of any upgrade in a years time that would make me want to upgrade from this new iPad. It has addressed all of the iPad2 shortcomings, and then some.
