Apple announces March 7 iPad 3 event

ipad3invites228.jpg

Apple sent out invites today for an event that'll take place at 10:00 am on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. The event flyer shows a buttonless (or landscape) iPad and promises there will be something we really have to see and touch.

We expect Apple to unveil the iPad 3. We don't know the exact details on the upcoming iPad, but, if the invite picture is any indication, the iPad 3 will have a high-resolution display, a major bump in the processor, Siri and possibly LTE. I've already got the date marked off on the calendar and my iPad 2 on eBay, how about you?

Apple announces March 7 iPad 3 event originally appeared on TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:28:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

It was queued at 1:24pm Tuesday. But I'm thinking there were issues with Google Reader on that day. Not sure why it decided to post it yesterday finally.

A buttonless iPad? This should definitely be something interesting. Most iDevices that require touch have a home button, e.g. iPhone, iPad.

That's pretty much proven not to be true.

I like how all the columns now say "or in landscape".

San Francisco is on Pacific Standard Time. As soon as the new iPad is announced there, (+ maybe several hours) it will show up in the on line Apple Store. Keep checking with the store.

I am BEYOND excited for the possibility of the haptic screen. I drew to that guess from the "touch" invite, and now have "legit" rumors for it. SWEET!

Thanks for those links.

I can't afford one, so will be staying with my iPad1 until Apple force me out with software updates. However, I am still keen to see what is going to be on offer :)

I'm watching the Cnet live blog video on my Roku. It's actually pretty cool to not have to be glued to the computer for once.

This is bad . . . I said I was going to stick with my iPad2 and now I am looking at Gazzelle.com to get a trade in price. :p

The haptic touch technology that some were speculating the iPad 3 might have looked really amazing.

Bummer that it was just another rumor... that might have made a compelling case for an iPad (for me). I'm feeling very "meh" about the whole thing.

And I really think they screwed up on the pricing for the iPad 2. They need something closer to the Kindle Fire's $199 price point.
