Apple plans to announce new iPad 3 at beginning of March

This time round, there won’t be an Apple event in February. Instead, it’s early March when we’ll get the full and official announcement about the upcoming iPad 3, apparently.

According to John Paczkowski at AllThingsD, “sources close to the company” expect an Apple event of some kind in San Francisco very early in March.

There’s no exact date yet on when the iPad 3 will be launched. After previous announcements, however, the new devices usually follow within just a matter of weeks.

As we reported a few weeks ago, the next generation iPad could potentially be quite a nice upgrade to the iPad 2. It’s likely to be a similar size and shape, but could offer a higher-resolution 2048×1536 Retina display, a faster quad-core processor, improved graphics chip and perhaps a better camera.

We’ll bring you all the news once we learn more.
