Rumor: Apple Planning iPad 3 Event for February
Is the iPad 3 launch just around the corner.
Though Apple's got an event planned for tomorrow morning, you'd be forgiven if you're not jumping up and down with excitement. Though the announcement will be extremely important and will no doubt affect the publishing and education industries in a huge way, it hasn't garnered the quite the level of anticipation that we see with iPad and iPhone launch events. However, if the latest to come out of the Apple rumor mill is correct, that level of excitement is just a few weeks away.
Japanese blog Macotakara has kicked off the latest ipad 3 rumor with a report that Apple is planning another media event for February. According to a translation from MacRumors, Macotakara cites an Asian supplier and a source in United States in reporting that Apple is preparing for an early-February event. This event is believed to be the iPad 3 launch event and will also apparently feature iOS 5.1.
The timing is about right. Apple announced the first iPad in January of 2010, and the iPad 2 was announced in March. As such, a February release is not only plausible, but almost expected at this point. Of course, Apple hasn't confirmed or denied anything, so let's take this one with a massive grain of salt and the 'wait and see' approach. In the meantime, you can catch all the latest new on tomorrow's event right here, so stay tuned!

Fact: iDon't care.
Don't lie. You care. A lot. Enough to post.
This is every haters worst nightmare - an upcoming Apple announcement for a new product. You hope it's going to fail, but you know deep down it will be another huge successor Apple.
And since you idiots tie your emotional well being to that of a company, you're doomed to endless disappointments.
i hate Apple. But i will probably buy an Ipad 3....Android tablet apps are still not there yet...but for phones, i am sticking to my trusty Galaxy S2.

Calm down buddy, how is the release of a new product my worst nightmare?
Of course it'll be another success for Apple, they have a gigantic following (sometimes referred to as a cult) and it's so simple to use it appeals to the masses.
I don't hope it will fail at all and in fact know it will do well.
Your calling me an idiot? Wow. I don't tie myself in any way to any company, I enjoy the products and services provided by them and use them on a daily basis.
Guess what your primary navigation is stock on iPhone? Google Navigator or Google maps.
Sorry to burst Apple's b ubble but the Asus Transformer Prime tf700 will be better!
Asus tablets beat Apple!
Hey! We added a better Camera... Come give us 600 dollars!
Wow, got to love them haters. I use iphone and got a mac why?? because I can and it works for me. Haters gonna hate.

Why is this relevant to anything?

The 'gigantic' following is not a cult - it's simply reasonable people being aware of a good brand which consistently produces best-in-class products. The 'cult' just consists of a small minority of extreme fans which you find on any platform, including Android and Windows Phone - it's a common mistake I see on here for people to associate the extreme (and irrational) fanboys with people who simply made an educated choice.

You accused other people of being extreme and fanboy
...
I actually thumbed you up for that because I laughed so hard I let out a bit of wee
...
So why do you only ever pop up on a forum post after someone has had a negative crack at Apple and not on a single other thread? Where are your opinions on SOPA? What do you think about the IPv6 switchover? Did you know Bioware is releasing Mass Effect 3 on Valentines Day?
...
You are a one dimensional Apple obssessed crank with all the depth of a car park puddle, GTFO TROLL
I posted on SOPA article this morning, you logical fail.
And yes, I do recognise that there are extreme fanboys. I am distinguished from them, and yourself, because I apply logic, to reach my conclusions. The fact that you seemingly think this is impossible makes you an extreme fanboy yourself.
I don't play games so Bioware doesn't interest me, and IPv6 is old news for people who are actually successful in the world of the Internet.
The only reason you tend to find posts of mine on Apple related posts is because they seem to draw out the most irrational comments. Also, obviously, I have an interest in smart phones. To suggest that I have to defend the fact that I clearly have a particular interest, simply exposes your idiocy more.
And to think that 'depth' is measured by how many different article I comment on? Well that's just you all over isn't it. Anyone with depth, of course, would know how ridiculous that sounds ;-)
Who is tired of "Rumors", I am.
I don't care if it was made on mars- its just a tablet. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't!
blah blah blah
YAWN
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............
Why must we be subjected to this kind of blatant propaganda for a company.
YAWNzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............
As good as the best point you've ever made.
And by that, I of course mean, no content whatsoever.
