WWDC 2018 takes place June 4 to June 8 in San Jose, California.
iPad 3 Media Event Planned for Early February?
Apple's education-focused media event isn't until Thursday, but Japanese blog Mac Otakara reports that Apple is already making plans for an early February event to introduce the iPad 3 ahead of an early March launch. The event is said to potentially also feature iOS 5.1, which is currently in developer testing.According to asian supplier and a source in United States, Apple seems to prepare to hold Special Event in early February.An approximately one-month gap between introduction and availability would be significantly longer than for the iPad 2, which was introduced on March 2, 2011 with availability coming just nine days later on March 11.
Because Chinese factory will be in holiday of New Year, then new product is concidered to be released in early March.
The original iPad didn't launch until more than two months after its January 2010 debut, although Apple tends toward longer gaps between introduction and launch for new product categories in order to accommodate the regulatory approval process without risking leaks of product details.
Mac Otakara has had a mixed track record in the past, but the site's most recent report regarding the start of iPad 3 production ahead of an early March debut was corroborated by Bloomberg just a few days later.

You're delusional if you think a 7' iPad will go for $199.
If I thought I saw a 7 foot iPad, I probably would be delusional.

If true:
As widely suspected, Apple will continue to sell the iPad2. At the event, Apple will announce iPad 2 price drop, effective immediately. That way they can continue to sell the iPad2 in the gap between announcement and availability of the iPad3. Although some buyers will obviously wait for the new model, they'll get plenty of oomph out of people snapping up the newly cost-reduced iPad2.
Sounds great. I hope it's true.

I can't wait to see how "flummoxed (http://www.imore.com/2011/03/02/jobs-ipad-competitors-flummoxed/)" Apple will leave the fragmentoid makers this time around. Guess it will be back to the drawing board for them - AGAIN!
I also wonder how Ballmer's "We're Coming Full Guns (http://mashable.com/2010/07/30/ballmer-tablets-2/)" war plan is working out.
What great afternoon humor. LOL!
