Oooooh, wait a minute, I got it. "Year of the lion." So: we'll see iPad 2, and Lion, judging by those two assessments. I was only expecting the iPad, but the tagline seems to be a reference to the whole animal thing.
What does an "open mind" have to do with it? Is the event being held March 2nd or not?
Which wasn't March 2nd....... it came out the end of April and was announced in January.

I was think event tomorrow too. Why hang signage in middle of night? They'll tweet : cancel your plans, bring invitation, see you in an hour!

Well only that CNet has said about 100 times that 2011 is "The Year of the Tablet"...
That's got to be something...

The event is on March 2, but the banner may be for either then, or tomorrow.
My prediction: iPad 2, iWork 11 (yess....), iOS 5 preview, and probably a "one more thing"
Do you think Phil Schiller will try to be "cool" and have his shirt tail out again this time?
By the way, large splashes of color for iPad1...tiny dots of color for iPad2... means they will be announcing Retina Displays for the iPad either now or later this year to just totally derail all the competitor's plans of any sales for another year. This is not your father's Apple Co.

Like the idea of coloured iPads, I'd go product RED if so.
Let's think OUTSIDE the dots, what if, IF, they represent some sort of proxy multitouch technology? Ie you hover your fingers near the screen and a dot (or dots) fade up and you can perform roll over actions or fast movement without touching the screen? Cool hey...

or you could get a mouse, then maybe even a keyboard, and....wait a second...
Have you seen the image that the invitation contained? It clearly shows an iPad, so are you sure this event will be MBP as well?
I for one believe it will be strictly iPad/portable media, but seeing all the "Thunderbolt" leaks I could be totally off
What do you guys think the chances of a higher res display on the iPad still are? I just noticed they're using the first "retina display" background we saw when they announced the iPhone 4.

Yeah the dots close up look like frabric confetti. Sticky notes?

Huh... That banner is kinda ugly lol.
I know, sad
Haha, LOVE IT!
Ya we won't see Lion again until WWDC. I have been wondering about iOS 5 too. I am nervous that it is delayed due to Lion
Ya it obviously is just going to be an apple.com update announcement!
I think it will OBVIOUSLY be iPad 2. Apple usually doesn't reveal in the invite what the announcements will be, maybe a hint like the Lion invite, but the invite with the iPad behind leaves no debate!
I am really hoping they show us the new MobileMe! Wouldn't they need to reveal it a while in advance and have a beta period as they have been doing? If so, hopefully we will hear something at this event showing the continuous client features between iOS devices, OS X Lion, and MobileMe!
it's an Apple keynote without Steve again...
I know, sad
by the way, gizmodo is not invited again...
Haha, LOVE IT!

Why aren't they prepping anything for the Macbook Pro
Do you guys think there will be an event for the Macbook Pro? Keynote or just website update?

Man I am so psyched for this!
I think the new iPad is gonna blow all lids off! Of course to some people there will be some disappointment... Like OMG there's no flash! OMG there's no retina! I hate it when people complain about something when they can't outperform it! If you think you can make a better tablet, go for it!

I am curious as to how Apple will stagger their announcements, previews, and launches of iPad 2, iOS 5, iPhone 5, and Lion. It's gonna be a great summer!
Maybe:
March 2 - Preview of iOS 5, Announcement of iPad 2
June (WWDC) - Launch of iOS 5, Preview/Beta release of Lion, Announcement of iPhone 5
June/July - Launch of iPhone 5
September - Launch of Lion
Man, a WWDC with iOS 5, iPhone 5, AND Lion in-depth?! I might just cry
EDIT: Oh yea, I almost forgot the new MacBook Pros and Final Cut!!! oohhh boy
I believe they streamed the last one (I didn't watch it) so they may do the same for this event.
