I'm pretty blown away they're already on a fourth generation of iPads. It seemed like they just released the last one not too long ago. Are people upset over how quickly it released or happy to have a potential upgrade?
I'm not sure how it aligns with previous launches, but I imagined they were going to discontinue the 2 as well.

Why do you think this would make someone upset?
It doesn't seem that it is.
It would had Apple withheld stuff on previous models, but it doesn’t look like they did.
I had bought it planning to pass it on to my toddlers as it reached about 4-5 years old.
Unfortunately I don't think there will be any supported iOS 5 apps at that point.
I may have to jailbreak it just to get a newer version of the OS on it at some point (assuming that someone gets the newer OS working on it).
Jeep are taking that to a new level.. In Jan 2013 they are going to begin selling the 2014 Grand Cherokee..
(I realize the gap from iPad3->iPad 4 was less than a year, but that happens in the car market too)
