It seems that amongst all the speculations about the iPad 3's release date and its new features, no-one has noticed that Apple themselves have not released any information yet. Some speculated dates include 7 March, 9 March, or anytime in March and April 2012. The quieter Apple is about the release, the more the rumours grow and spread – I would say this is an example of free marketing at its best.
Some of the features that are being speculated about include a new quad-core processor, 4G LTE networking and a 2048×1536 Retina display. There was also an image released in February of what will supposedly be the new iPad 3 Case; this image shows a thicker iPad, suggesting that both battery life & graphics will be improved. It has also been suggested that the iPad 3 will be available with 128 GBs worth of storage, as well as an SD Card slot. The camera is also said to be better in the new iPad.
A new rumour has also started claiming that the next iPad release will actually be the iPad 2S, rather than the iPad 3. This rumour started with an iPad case maker in China selling a cover for an iPad 2S. This isn't too far a leap, especially after Apple's release of the iPhone 4S, rather than an iPhone 5.
Needless to say, until Apple makes their own press release, these are all just rumours and speculations. Come on Mr Tim Cook (Apple CEO) tell us what is going on!
Have your say: Tell us what you would like to see in the new iPad, or perhaps some other improvements you have heard it may have.
