Nope. The new screen is nice, but frankly there isn't anything that it offers that my ipad 2 can't do now and likely most apps/games are going to work on both the ipad2 and ipad3...so no compelling reason there to upgrade. I'll wait for the iPad4 which will hopefully have a faster CPU, smaller process size CPU and hopefully smaller process size Wifi stack as well. Maybe also improved screen power use (IE more efficient LED backlighting).

Hopefully either longer battery life, or reduce the battery size some and keep current battery life.

For me an upgrade every year does not make economical sense. Every 2 years, I can maybe swing.
