Can't wait til March

Subsequent to my previous post, I've attempted to search for Ipad 3 news. The big Apple fan that I am.

Here's what I've got. According to SlashGear (www.slashgear.com), the Apple Ipad 3 event will be held on first week of March. This is apparently what is also reported by IGNTech and TheNextWeb. But another news is coming through the grapevine - that Apple will launch an Ipad 2s rather than 3. Then this can be another case of WTF!

The NextWeb has shown what is the likely difference between an Ipad 2 to an Ipad 2s or Ipad 3. Here's a clip from TNW.

Excerpt from TNW: http://thenextweb.com/apple/2012/02/08/this-photo-suggests-that-the-ipad-3-will-come-with-a-larger-battery

A. You can see here that the mounts for the logic board are very different, which means the logic board shape will be different allowing for . . . .
B. More battery. The width of where the logic board sits on the iPad 2 appears much larger than that of the iPad 3. We have long heard that the iPad 3 was going to provide longer battery life, and this back housing seems to support that.
C. The camera is different. It is hard to make a judgment just by looking at the casing, but what we can expect is a different camera on the iPad 3 than what we had on the 2.
D. LCD will be different than what we have had before. Whether or not it will be the super screen we have seen reported will have to wait. But the different mounting does mean that the LCD has been redesigned at the very least.
There has never been such a huge anticipation of a gadget launch than that of an Apple product. Oh well, many can be so cynical about Apple, perhaps those who owned non-Apple gadgets. At least my twitter timeline has perhaps updated at least 100 tweets in less than 30 seconds!

Until then, I can't wait til March.
