Looks like the same tablet/notebook computers they made a while ago that bombed out.

Actually they didn't completely bomb out. Some businesses use them exclusively. (like mine) They are used *almost* exclusively on trading floors.
The general public didn't really see a need for them. Lets face it, using a stylist sucks for the most part. While you don't have to use one, for actually doing daily composition work on a touch screen would be horrendous.

From Engadget: Rumblings of what to expect in the next iPad2
So what will we see on March 2nd? We're hearing it's most likely a thinner, spec-bumped variation of the original iPad with a screen size and resolution identical to the current model. More RAM (512MB) and a more powerful CPU (the A5) are expected as well. It's also a pretty safe bet the tablet will be sporting at least one camera up front -- though if some of those case mockups we've seen tell us anything, expect a shooter around back too. It's also almost guaranteed that we'll see the next version of iOS (number 5 in all likelihood, along with its SDK for devs), and an expansion of Apple's cloud services (that part is a little... foggy right now). Of course, that will perfectly set up Apple's announcement of the iPhone 5 in June, which is when iPad owners can likely expect to be using the new software. Regardless, we'll have the goods come next week, so stay tuned!
They say the SDcard and Higher Resolution displays will NOT make this update.
Makes one want to immediately run out and upgrade huh?
I encourage "those that can afford it", to do just that. /wink
