iPad 3 rumors are picking up this week after images of the front and back of the "iPad 3" surfaced. The two biggest things the experts think they have figured out is that it will boast a retina display, which is a fancy word for HD, and will have a much improved camera, similar to the one on the iPhone 4S.
After reading all the rumors and the suspected launch date of early March, I am wondering if I should part ways with my original iPad in hopes to put that cash towards an iPad 3. If you have an original iPad, the window for selling it for at least $100 is about to close. Once the iPad 3 is released, the price for the iPad 2 will drop off and people won't want a two year old iPad for much more than $100.
Currently on eBay, an original iPad with 32GB of storage (which I have) is going for as much as $340. I would estimate that the new iPad 3 16GB (no rumors of if the lowest storage will continue to be 16GB or bump up) would retail new for $499 meaning that I could get a new iPad for a little over $100!
The hardest thing for me to decide is if I should try and sell now while there is no confirmation from Apple that an iPad 3 is coming out OR wait until Apple officially unveils a new iPad. The problem with waiting until Apple makes an announcement is that once they do, the price people are willing to pay for the original iPad will continue to drop. If I go ahead and sell before an official announcement, I will be without my iPad for an undetermined amount of time which I won't like. So, what do you think I should do? What would you do? Leave some comments and help me make my decision. Better yet, if you want an original iPad, make me an offer :)
