I dunno if you are being sarcastic but they killed the ipad 3 in what? 6 months? no harm in waiting till march or so.
This is Apple, so both serious and sarcastic.

Damian, you seriously might want to wait another month or two and see if any announcements pop up, but if waiting isn't an option, go for the latest iPad. Avoid the Mini since it's basically an iPad 2.
And what about the iPod Touch?
