    If its anything like the iphone, back it up on itunes on your computer.
    then go setting->General->reset->Erase all content and settings.

    then when you get the new one, connect to itunes and restore your back up to it

    Grand, that easy, thanks.
    I just have a fear that I'll create a blank restore point or something.
    Thatll get rid of all user id etc too?

    Connect your old iPad to your computer. Back up and sync and then do a restore. That will wipe all your data and is much faster than doing the above, which can take forever. Then when you get a new iPad hook it up and restore your backup.

    Thanks, and it definitely wont set a restore point from when I wipe it?

    Just did my iPad 2 16gb that was almost full. Used Erase all and it took all of two minutes.

    Yes.
    A point from which I will back up my new iPad.

    You mean a backup? If you backed up before restoring, yes. You'll need this to restore your settings and content onto your new iPad when you get it.
