Apple refreshes ip* products all the time, often with little notice. This is no different than any other maker of electronic toys. I assure you that no matter what you buy and when, it will be obsolete a year later.
If $150 is a big deal for you, then an ipad is not for you. Wait 10 years when tablets will be commodity items.
