Apple will show off the long expected iPad 3 the first week of March, alleges AllThingsD, a publication that has reliably predicted Apple media events a few weeks in advance in the past.
For all the rumors and speculation about Apple, the company often works in predictable cycles. The iPad was announced on January 2010, the iPad 2 was revealed on March 2011 and previous reports had pegged the first news on the iPad 3 for early this year.
The Loop, another reliable source of Apple information in the past, gave AllThingsD’s report a thumbs up.
What the iPad 3 features other than updated hardware specifications remains to be seen, but it’s largely expected it will sport a much improved “Retina display,” first introduced with the iPhone 4.
The screen resolution would be much higher--rumored at 2048×1536--which would be really pretty.
The turnaround from announcement to release on Apple products is usually pretty quick. The iPad was announced in January and released in April, while the iPad 2 was announced in March and released...later in March.
Looking forward to it
Great Tested article. My first gen iPad still works so I'll stick to that.
You got your Tested.com in my GiantBomb.com!
Please this must go to tested , lets not have another site flooded with tablet/smartphones stories
I thought this was a site about video games
IOS games are a thing, I guess
Please get this tech news off my videogame website, you have a sister site for this stuff.
Will it play video games?
@web966: Tested already covers those
I have been planning on purchasing the iPad 3 for a while now once it was released, nice to hear that it is around the corner.
This belongs here because the iPad is a pretty big gaming platform now. Whether or not you like it, or think it's worse than DS/PSP is a different discussion entirely.
You know what? My first generation Ipad still works fine.
Why are people mentioning that this shouldn't be here?
The X360 also now plays videos, has apps, has TV, music services, etc. Let's also move that over to Tested.
iOS games are a thing, people.
The retina display would be what ultimately pushes me over the edge in buying such a device, so I'm stoked.
Hopefully it won't have a glass back surface like the iphone 4S
where the lego vids at
I want an iPad!
Interested in seeing what they do with this one.
