Apple Issues Invitations for iPad 3 Media Event on March 7

I'm surprised so many Apple experts are thinking that it's simply in landscape mode. The spacing is not consistent with landscape, and is consistent with portrait mode.
Some detective work (AKA screenshots).
See that cluster of 6 droplets, arcing up to 1, 2 o'clock?
You don't even SEE those droplets when you hold it in landscape mode. To get the wallpaper, dock icons, and dock shine just as it is in the invitation, you have to hold it in portrait mode. To be precise, hold it in portrait mode, put 5 apps in your dock, put Maps, Calendar, and Keynote as your 3rd, 4th and 5th apps. And there you go.
That would place the Home button (or FaceTime camera) directly under the Maps icon.
yeah that finger doesn't look right, i just tried to recreate it (not very well) but it shows you that something seems to be off...
I changed my mind about it being a mockup, but even still, proportions don't add up.
Yes, you're right, the resolution change could explain everything.
No, but do you really think the wallpaper and dock positions would change drastically from 5.0 to 5.1...? Not from what I've seen so far (I have used 5.1).
They could, but apple tend to just make higher resolution versions that still look like the originals, so bubble placings etc would be the same. They ARE in the same position on my iPad 2 running 5.0.1, just can't seem to get that angle like the photo.
That could also be due to my slightly chubbier fingers than the hand in the photo
Forgot to mention: I see pixels in my photo of my iPad 2. Clear differences in the text too.
Considering you've been using it on a current model and not the next gen display only time will tell.
See???
Why didn't anyone see the word SEE in their invite?? Something to SEE and Touch....
I'm thinking TV???????????????? I guess we'll "see" soon enough!

... You tempted me, however I will not say it.
It could be, this picture was taken with an early version of the software, when the artwork did not line up exactly right.
The products have already shipped to the US. I can't picture them sitting on them after the announcement.
Now that you mention it, I'm feeling kind of good about the fact that mine didn't...
I see where you're going with this and I don't like it!
Eh, what do I know? Maybe it's actually the screen on their new TV?

No home button--
If there is no physical home button, there is probably a touch-sensitive non-physical button of the same size at the same location.
I would imagine at least some of the attendees will also be looking at the new iPad.
Sarcasm aside: you're over-analyzing. There may also be a new aTV, but the use or otherwise of the word "see" isn't indicative of anything in particular.
No home button--
IMO the Home button should be under the Maps icon, based on the curve of the dock shininess, the Maps app should be the 3rd of 5 apps and directly center.
Actually they do use actual pics of devices.

I haven't read the whole thread yet but am fascinated by the no home button debate. Here's my question is it possible there is a home button but it's not a physical button at all ? Then the software developers wouldn't really need to know at all.
So not like Apple to do that.

Ok, I can dream, can't I?
Hey, Amazon sells the Fire at a loss.
