This just in: Apple is preparing to announce the iPad 3 in the first week of March. The next-gen tablet itself is reportedly an upgraded version of the iPad 2, featuring a dual-core CPU and a higher-resolution display. But then again, that’s to be expected. No matter what, it will have better specs than the iPad 2 which was presented about a year ago. Steve Jobs made a surprise return from medical leave to deliver the announcement, but sadly it was to be the last time he presented a new Apple product himself. Who will step on stage this year and try to fill out Jobs’ role is unclear.
If this rumor doesn’t pan out, it’s still a safe bet that the iPad 3 announcement is right around the corner. Apple generally sends invites out two weeks in advance so the announcement could still happen this month. (Via)
