Just 22 days away if the latest rumors are to be believed.
Having already worked our way through January and almost half of February, the Apple rumor mill has decided that Cupertino is going to wait until next month to launch the newest iteration of iPad 3. This week, we've been provided with a rumor that is a little more specific than just 'early March.' The latest comes from iMore, which is citing sources in the know that say the iPad event is scheduled for March 7.
"According to sources who have been reliable in the past, Apple currently plans to hold their iPad 3 announcement on Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Along with the 2048×1536 Retina display, the iPad 3 will feature a quad-core Apple A6 system-on-a-chip, and possibly 4G LTE networking," writes Rene Ritchie.
March 7 is a Wednesday, which is the same day of the week that we saw iPad 1 and iPad 2 launched. It also gels well with previous reports that the device would be announced the first week of March and go on sale a little bit later in the month. However, we're still hoping that The Verge's Joshua Topolsky was correct in his clever February 29 "It's Time to Leap Ahead" prediction.
Of course, Apple has yet to confirm or deny anything, preferring instead to let the rumor mill churn out coverage. Considering this, we'll be taking these latest rumors with a heavy dose of salt. We'll be billing Apple for our blood pressure meds when the time comes.
Sadly, that's a typo.

I'm so freaking tired of all these "computer" monitors with 1080 lines.
I think the 2048x1536 resolution is the only thing I find interesting about it.
Not that I am going to start buying iCrap now; but I hope other tablet makers will follow.
I think you've got the situation reversed. It was the Anti-Apple crowd that was making snid comments about the iPad 2, saying it was inferior, and using its lack of 4G LTE as proof(haha..lol) of it being inferior. Even though benchmarks everywhere proved otherwise..Especially in the graphics department. Several times over.
Now, IF the iPad 3 has 4G LTE, that's awesome. But it's not the end-all-be all that some people make it out to be. If it was, speed wise, the proportional equivient of going from dial-up, to DSL, or even Cable.. Then sure.. It would be amazing.. And a massive negative and stupid oversight to not include it in a new "top of the line" product... But at the speeds its averaging right now? Hardly.
And chances are, once again, the iPad is gonna wipe the floor with everything out to date.. And embarrass the TF Prime and it's Tegra3(which sucks, because I want to get the 1920x1200 one once they release it.
If your 30 inch monitor is only 2560 x 1600, relatively speaking and an Ipad 3 is 2048×1536 on a 10 inch display, your 30 inch IPS panel is really out of date...... at the same pixel pitch the 30 inch IPS should have what ? 4500x 3000 pixels? Sorry you paid that much for a monitor.
really? there will always be a reason for someone to bitch about something.
sounds like a great device. bring it apple. they might not push the performance envelope when it comes to desktop computers, but their mobile devices perform very well
I wouldn't say it's "revolutionary" or "magical" but it just wasn't previously the best option for the iPhone/iPad. The technology used to bring 4G to a mobile device wasn't perfected and required a lot of battery power. I'll take longevity and 3G speeds over 4G with 5 hours of use any day. Apple won't put it in their phone unless the technology is ready.
Someone doesn't know how monitors work...
Spoken like someone that can't afford one to me. Just sick with your sub $200 1080 panels because you are truly clueless.
You know there is some truth to that. Monitors, even the 30" ones could really use a much higher resolution. They have been stuck on the same old resolutions for a long time know. With higher res monitors of iRet pixel density you really wouldn't need to have to worry about AA anymore or hacks like sub-pixel hinting.
