“We have something you really have to see. And touch” – “something” Expected To Be Third Generation Tablet (iPad 3)
Feb 29, 2012 iPad 3
Apple Inc. will be conducting a product event on 7th March in San Francisco, where they are said to be releasing probably the third generation of tablet- the iPad 3.
“We have something you really have to see. And touch,” Apple said today in an invitation, which features a picture of an iPad screen.
The speculation and rumor are in full swing, although Apple did not provide any details. Even the name “iPad 3″ is just shorthand for next tablet Apple will announce.
We also think the new iPad 3 will have a Retina displa with 4G LTE connectivity (wireless standard called long-term evolution, or LTE). Carriers such as Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc are rolling out LTE networks to give users faster access to data. Apple speculators expect to see either a quad-core A6 processor inside the iPad 3, or a dual-core A5X. A report last week on Apple.pro, a Chinese blog, suggested that Apple will bring the Siri virtual assistant to the iPad 3. A leading tech portal in Japan Makotakara has published reports that next generation iPad will be thicker than iPad 2, possibly to accommodate the updated display.
Many Appleoholics are wondering that Apple will stop the ipad 2 as it did with the original iPad at the time of iPad 2’s launch. But sources like iLounge and DigiTimes said that iPad 2 will continue on shelves even after the launch of the new iPad 3.

Best Buy has started clearing off their inventory of iPad 2 to make place for iPad 3? The store has started off selling all versions of iPad 2 for a discount of $50. There are reports also stating that the new iPad 3 is on its way to Apple USA from Apple’s manufacturing base in China.
On Sunday, Best Buy began efforts to clear its inventory of iPad 2 devices by discounting all versions of the device by $50, with the 16GB, 32GB and 64B Wi-Fi-only models now priced at $450, $550 and $650 respectively, and the 3G models now retailing for $580, $680 and $780 respectively.
It has been rumored that the new iPad 3 will include a A6 or A5X processor, a Retina Display, 4G LTE connectivity, improved camera and larger battery. With the iPad 3 event expected to be held on March 7 there was conjecture that it could actually be released by the middle of the month or maybe by late March at the latest.
The iPad dominates the tablet market, with more than 55 million units sold since its launch in April 2010.
