Something does seem a bit off with the image. Everyone is over thinking it though. They don't use actual photos of the screen, they always photograph the device and mock up the screen for higher clarity.
 
See could be referring to either the new apple TV or iTV. But retina display definately seems more logical. At first I thought saying touch was a bit redundant, but maybe the home button is gone? The screen doesn't look like its in landscape to me.
 
Gizmodo thoughts

Gizmodo seems to support the no home button theory for the exact same reasons in this thread.

If there truly is no home button, how would be wake it? The lock button?

See - AppleTV - Also a great thought!!!

definitely larger icons

Thanks maclook. I just did the same thing, and what struck me is that my fingers are MUCH larger than the one in the photo. Same with your photo. Any chance they won't just announce a retina display iPad 3 but also a Mac Touch? (I wish) Or maybe they're just making the icons bigger...
Or someone with tiny fingers.

Nevermind, fingers look fake.

nothing to see here folks... Keep it moving.

I'm not happy with iOS so I doubt I'll be cracking out the credit card until I see some significant changes with the OS... are you listening Apple!!?? I need better customization and widgets and better multi-tasking! (seriously)

Get an android tablet.
 
The reflections are so wrong it's near irritating me

Definitely not winning photoshop awards for that pic lol
 
Is this a very small finger, or a huge iPad?
When I hold my fingers this way it surely looks quite bigger relatively to the shown display.
 
YESSSSSSSSSSSS... I CANNOT wait!!!...

Rentina display, and whatever IM BUYING THIS BAD BOY! :D


sorry for caps ..


IM JUST SO EXCITED:D:D:D:D:apple::apple::apple:
 
Giz points out that you can't get the spacing between the icons like that unless you are in portrait mode so now I think they are going all out no home button. I'm not an iPad user (yet, I'm getting an iPad 3) but what about the other buttons. Which other buttons (or the switch) do you not use often and could be eliminated. Seems changing the volume could be done with a gesture as well as locking orientation.
 
I wonder if it's relevant to know who's hand is in that image.

I don't think so. They have always used hand models for their ads and commercials.



I'll be in the air on the 7th but have time at MSP to make a trip to MoM and hope that they will actually be for sale then. It's my first iPad and will replace my 2005 12" PowerBook. I haven't been so excited about a new Apple product since I bought my iPod in 2004.
 
March 7 cant come any sooner. Now all I'm hoping for is they have a few available on day one. My friend will be US until 10th of march and will get me one if he can't get his hands on it :D

Bu if TA later than march 10, then I'll have to wait atleast a month befor it releases here. :(
 
Quick, CSI! Get us a finger print of that model's hand reconstructed via the reflection in the iPad 3!
