From my reading prior to this release, it seems this is a stop-gap measure brought on by production issues. The iPad is supposed to go from the 2 to an "iPad plus" before hitting version 3.
The big holdup is in the A6 quad core chip. They decided on a different architecture (for the good) too late and needed to drop a product to meet the demand. I think they did good, although I won't be changing.
I will be changing to the iPad 3 when it rolls out, and may switch to the iPhone 5.
The hardware isn't nearly as exciting to me as ios5. I'm very much looking forward to the release and it should be very soon now. It'll make my 4 a better phone, and I'm hoping against hope that it'll support iPad 1, because I love this thing. I'd hate to give her up, even if the iPad 3 has laser cannons, a four slice toaster, and flip-out French Maid.
