"Better battery life"
How do they know? If it has a quad core instead of a dual core, that would probably take more power. I would imagine a Retina Display takes more power on its own. 2x the pixels means a lot more work for the GPU as well.
Assuming all the above is true like a normal computer, then you would need a bigger battery just to obtain the same battery life as the previous. Bigger battery =/= more battery life in this case if you look at hardware only then.
That being said I wouldn't put it past Apple to increase the battery life still. Maybe the CPU/GPU/Screen don't take much more because they've improved hardware efficiency, they increased the size of the battery by more than enough to compensate, and/or have worked a lot on software, but yeah.

For those who liked the music I would recommend you check out Ronald Jenkees. I believe his biggest seller was released in 2009 and titled Disorganized Fun. The single was Stay Crunchy. Good stuff.
and they (apple) won't.
in regards of the battery life, i think it's really going to miss a lot of expectations.. thats if it does indeed receive a quad-core and/or 4G/LTE.
BUT, i'm still going to get one.

They say these cases are already available for purchase. Anyone had any luck finding one? I will not take my new iPad anywhere without a back cover on it, and I would love to buy one ASAP.

I think the form factor is going to be perfect. I hope it's a smidge lighter than the iPad 2 though. If they managed to stuff all the supposed features into that shell and cut the weight just a tad under the iPad 2 then it's going to be a home run (it'll probably be a home run anyway).

No big issue if simply because you don't want it but you make it sound as if this is a hohum upgrade from the 2.
totally agree with you. I don't see the point of upgrading to the ipad 3 if you have an ipad 2. I would understand people upgrading from their ipad 1 but not from the ipad 2. spending 500 or 600 just because of a better display, better camera and a better processor, its not like you do a lot of demanding stuff on an ipad. I find it funny how people these days just waste money. People should stop squandering their money and do something productive with it.

Makes MacrRumors worth visiting tho. Looking forward to finding out the guts of this thing still.

This just makes me angry. Can't Apple just release a ****ing product without people constantly trying to ruin the announcement?
I hope Apple pull something out of the bag on 7th just to ****ing shoot this video down.

The song
According to a YouTube comment on the video, the song is called "Woo Weekend (Instrumental)" by "BoA". I can't seem to find a website that streams the instrumental version of the song and doesn't offer a torrent file, but I believe the lyrical version can be found here.

The lyrics are about half English and half another language I don't know (albeit I'm not good at identifying foreign languages). Hope this helps!

I still have my Griffin leather case....Looks like it might save me some money after all....I gave away my rear cover though which is the really important one...

BoA is a Korean pop artist who has also had several releases in Japanese. This would be one of those. If anyone's interested, her Korean label SM has playlist of her stuff here: http://www.youtube.com/user/sment#p/c/3298DC4E2C012C5D/0/hhBwPj7NpBk
Related to the actual video though, based on the fact that it looks like wifi/3g I'm assuming that slot is for a SIM card. I'm really hoping there's an SD card slot but I'm not getting my hopes up.
