Indeed, I'd have to agree with you. But perhaps Apple will re-design the iPad next time around which encompasses the use of Touch-Bezeleness.
Purely based on the calender icon is not the best way to prove photoshop. I agree with everything else, but Apple makes their own software so I would think they would be able to create that icon with that date
Obviously there is some photo editing going on here, but why photoshop out the home button? what possible reason would there be for that? Also change the date in the settings - boom, calendar shows new date.
This would be amazing. It should activate when you say "Siri"....
***iPad on desk WHILE using my iMac****
Me - "Siri, create a doctor appointment on Friday for 9am"
Siri - "Joe, here is your appointment. Should I create it?"
Me - "Yes"
***iPad on counter WHILE my hands are dirty from cooking****
Me - "Siri, start a timer for 5 minutes"
Siri - "Your timer is set for 5 minutes"
Me - "Siri, how much sugar is in an Apple"
Siri - "Joe, there are 19 grams of sugar in an Apple"
THIS WOULD BE AMAZING!!
I agree but would rather say "computer" like in Star Trek.
Not to fond of the name SIRI
Oh hell-to-the-yeah.
Hoe, Computer or You.
That's what I'd use depending on my mood.
See = Retina
touch = iPad (Touchscreen)
Contrary to the rumors I do not think any hi-fidelity audio will be discussed here. That too would have been alluded to in some way on the invitation. Like See, hear, touch.
There may be a new Apple TV but that and the Audio I can see being its own media even. Similar to the the iPod and music announcements that used to come every fall.
You read my post completely out of context. Look at the post I was replying to.
No way! Just that we have other more important expenses I should cover first, but she insists I get the iPad 3 A.S.A.P.
"The photo is only in focus on the Calendar app, so this means that Calendar will be the focus of the event.
Only 3 fingers are pictured which is in reference to the salute expressing Serbian ethnic nationalism. So expect Apple to have a press conference expressing concerns in eastern Europe."
--
"As you can see there are also 75 bubbles visible in the wallpaper. If you add that to the number of letters in the word calendar, 8, since it's the focal point of the photograph, and then multiply by the number of apps and fingers seen, 6. It comes out to a nice number of 498. This is undoubtedly the new price of the iPad 3"
Those comments made me laugh.

see = retina display
touch = tactile feedback
Including tactile feedback could be another reason the iPad3 is slightly thicker.

Makes sense... I wonder what it would be in the end.
I do want SIRI on my iPad 3.
And a new version of iWork!???
I'm sure it has been mentioned before, but if that is an actual iPad, that person has pretty small hands and very slender fingers. The point of the finger looks like it would barely cover 1/4 of the calendar icon. I, for example, would nearly cover a normal iPad app icon with the tip of my finger.
Guys...
You missed one important thing.
Apple will be adding a car battery to your iPad 3 to power the dual-LED bar lighting system and they will coat your iPad in Lion pelt for an extra £15,000.
See the impossible and touch the awesome.

You guys are kidding, right? You can change the date in the settings. Or am I missing something?!
I love all these "just take my money already" replies. The tech specs aren't even known, and people are all ready to order.
Some fanboys would buy a turd if it had an Apple logo on it.
With all those posts saying "take my money" I've seen on here, I think you might be right.
And Touch...
OK, think about it, they show the retina display and lack of home button in the invitation, which makes me curious if there isn't something of more importance to be revealed. And I guess they hint at it in the invitation too: "We have something you really have to see [retina display] AND TOUCH".
Anybody remembering the Senseg "TACTILE PIXEL" technology?

Or much more interesting, TeslaTouch, a technology similar to Senseg's, but developed by DISNEY (yes the Disney where Steve Jobs was a member of the board of directors!!!)

Well, if you ask me, we get to feel what we are touching on the iPad.
And in combination with the new AppleTV, which is for sure going to be revealed there too, you have the perfect gaming controller (and mic for Siri) because you could feel the buttons displayed on the iPad.
Going to be awesome!
