apple invite

Looks like CNBC was wrong. Apple just sent out invites for a March 7th event where they promise to have something we really want to see and touch. The event will be held next Wednesday at 10AM PST at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco where they will no doubt unveil the next iPad.

This confirms previous reports, besides CNBC’s recent tweet, that Apple was launching the next iPad in the first week of March.

No doubt the next iPad will be powered by a new CPU and rock LTE data connectivity. But will Apple maintain the same price? What will happen to the iPad 2? Will MG faint when it’s announced? These and others are the questions that we cannot wait to find out.
