maybe there isn't a physical home button but rather a touch button that activates when you touch the bottom of the Ipad 3. Kind of like my samsung galaxy S2. There are no buttons but when you touch toward the bottom it illuminates and you can hit the home button.
Got a tip for us?

i doubt it. From what everyone said, Steve left a road map of what .... 4 years behind him? I'm sure quite a bit of this was already planned out awhile ago.
Nice idea but what quality would audio files have to be in to be unable to distinguish quality with the human ear? And again what kind of headphones would we need?
I'd like the concept of Retina display to be ported to the audio end of things but I don't know if that is possible. And what's next, the equivalent of Retina touch? What would that even be like conceptually?
Apple loosing its attention to details?
Why is the thumb nail reflecting light? There is no light coming from the bezel.

I'm really hoping that will be the "one more thing". I've been pining for an AppleTV App Store for ages. It's also something I can afford. 😉 We've got an aTV 2 and as there are just a handful of A5 exclusive apps at the moment, I would assume the aTV 2's A4 would be fully supported (sans 1080p content).
That's one thing that I hope they DON'T do. Using my iPhone as a remote for my aTV is too touchy - I much prefer having actual buttons for that! Of course, having a keyboard is nice!
Hmmm. Does anyone remember the "rumor" from a few weeks back where some Chinese insider claimed that the iPad 3 was slightly thicker while the bezel on the front was more narrow? No home button might make sense here... but doesn't make sense if the OD dimensions are the same as is the screen size?😕

Look at the water spots touching the top left corner of the Calendar icon, they are not the same on the invite and on a portrait iPad with 5 icons
It's close, but it's NOT exactly the same. Maybe the finger is pushing the icons to the left?

Some kind of haptic feedback on the screen?
OTOH, if they ever add Retina smell to the iPad, I'm outta here...
If apple removes the home button, I think the camera would potentially have to go behind the glass and in the middle. I always use the home button as a reference to where the camera is on black iDevices.
No. Possibly something you could of confirmed by looking at a calender (Feb 29th this year).

No. Do you really think Apple would have the wrong calender setup on their invite?

looks like i m proved wrong again by mr, i thought it was june that they ll bring this upgrade, but yeah if they bring ipad with no home button it ll surely be my next ipad
There's no way I'm going to read all the previous comments to check if someone said it already. But could "And touch" mean the iPod touch 5th?

Would be great (I have an ATV2 as well), but probably very unlikely. If there is an ATV store on the way it's most likely to be ATV3 only. Backwards compatibility isn't great for hardware sales. 🙁
