Apple iPad event confirmed for March 7th in San Francisco

[Recursion]

Is there any interesting rumours of what to come?

Better processor(s), graphics and longer battery life is becoming very tiresome for announcements. Even the software announcements aren't what they used to be, look at the iPhone 4S for instance, all they could come up with is "Siri".

I suppose it just goes to show that they're pretty much there and it doesn't need much more hardware/software wise

Retina display.

Also, we were pretty much there with the software Nokia had on their phones... they're just running dry on idea or longing them out to maximise profits

New iPad!



“We needed even more horsepower for the new iPad and its Retina Display, so we created the A5X chip. What’s the x for? Quad-core graphics.”

So:

- Retina
- Better Camera (Doubt drivers allow 1080p), 5MP is actually getting pretty low in the mobile/tablet space apple ought to watch out.
- Quad-core graphics
- LTE

Nothing magical, everything very obvious. Just tells us they'll have LTE in the iPhone5 / iPhone4ssssssss

It's confirmed 1080p, nothing special though... phones have been doing that since early last year.

Bit confusing in regards of the name but hey ho.

Apparently it's called 'new iPad'. However the iPad 3 name will probably become more popular.

I am torn as to whether I really need the iPad 3 when I already have a 64GB iPad 2 with 3G in mint condition. I obviously feel drawn towards it because it is new, pretty and exciting but I feel like I would be wasting my money if I went for the new one just because it was new. The features they are putting on the 3 are nice but nothing I feel that really justifies buying it. I've never felt that my iPad 2 was too slow in processing, too dull in graphics or laggy on the internet. I believe I will keep my iPad 2 and just upgrade to the new one if I ever break or severely damage this one. It is in perfect condition right now. I just can't reason buying the 3.

I feel exactly the same. I really don't understand retina display, quad-core or whatever else they're preaching but I really don't see the issue with the current iPad 2. I'm still astounded by the quality of graphics on it, and I have no complaints to make about the speed. What incentive is there to encourage me to buy new?
