Geek Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ipad.jpg" alt="iPad HD" title="ipad" width="620" height="483" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27223" /></p> <p>Just a few days ago The Wall Street Journal and New York Times reported that <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/09/ipad-3-release-set-for-march/">iPad 3 will be released the first week of March</a>, and now new claims have surfaced suggesting that the next iPad will be announced on Wednesday, March 7. Specifically, <a href="http://www.imore.com/2012/02/13/ipad-3-announcement-march-7-quadcore-4g-lte/#more">iMore</a> says:</p> <blockquote><p>According to sources who have been reliable in the past, Apple currently plans to hold their iPad 3 announcement on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Along with the 2048×1536 Retina display, the iPad 3 will feature a quad-core Apple 6 system-on-a-chip, and possibly 4G LTE networking.</p></blockquote> <p>The date wouldn’t be too surprising considering March 7 is the only date vacant during the first week of March that is open on the <a href="http://www.ybca.org/calendar?date%5Bmin%5D%5Byear%5D=2012&date%5Bmin%5D%5Bmonth%5D=3&date%5Bmin%5D%5Bday%5D=7&date%5Bmax%5D%5Byear%5D=2012&date%5Bmax%5D%5Bmonth%5D=3&date%5Bmax%5D%5Bday%5D=7&field_event_discipline_nid=All">Yerba Buena Center event calendar</a>, and Apple has traditionally announced prior iPads at the YBCA in San Francisco. The rumored specs seem to add up to past <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/09/ipad-3-release-set-for-march/">expectations</a>, although the 4G LTE capability is reasonably unlikely given Apple’s reluctance to adopt the battery hungry technology.</p> <p>Earlier today, pictures claiming to be a partially assembled next-gen iPad showed up online at <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/02/13/leaked-ipad-3-parts-match-suggest-sharp-made-retina-display/">9to5mac</a>, and other than a few very minor differences they look practically identical to iPad 2. </p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ipad-3-ipad-2.jpg" alt="alleged iPad 3 and iPad 2" title="ipad-3-ipad-2" width="620" height="513" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27224" /> </p> <p>Keeping the same enclosure could indicate that the next iPad may be labeled as an iPad 2S or iPad 2HD, similar to the recent iPhone 4 to iPhone 4S update, rather than calling the device “iPad 3″. Ultimately the naming of any Apple device is largely insignificant beyond speculation and Apple’s marketing efforts though, and whatever the next iPad is called it will surely be popular.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P-yBVmdaqyb4HXGe1IeyGcdCAtE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P-yBVmdaqyb4HXGe1IeyGcdCAtE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P-yBVmdaqyb4HXGe1IeyGcdCAtE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/P-yBVmdaqyb4HXGe1IeyGcdCAtE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=2BpuV5fOdAQ:AA_QSxR9F0M:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/2BpuV5fOdAQ" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
