Media Event for Next-Generation iPad Set for March 2nd?

SDRacerR1 said:
Doesn't make sense to me...release new Macbooks this Thursday which are supposedly a redesign, then next Wednesday a media event only for the IPad? Maybe the 24th is wrong??

I also believe there won't be any new MBPs this Thursday. At least I hope so. Cause an event would mean major updates!
 
Rumor has it, that this rumor may be true or not true.

Analysts close to an Apple store saw an Apple employee holding up two fingers before marching off clearly indicating that the once rumored secret staff meeting that wives were not invited to may have actually happened while no one was looking.

The Wall Street Journal backs up this report noting that they saw two Best Buy employees huddled around a computer pointing and whispering while making notes on a calendar clearly marked March 2, 2001.

Another source close to an Macintosh Apple 🙂apple🙂 noted that the date is perfect as it's like the countdown to a ma...m...ma..magical experience as the date would be 3-2-11.

Numerous unknown sources have said they've seen many cars and people come and go from the Cupertino campus also indicating that some event must be in the works sometime in the near future.
 
Hopes its the new iPad duo .... But also have my hopes up even more for a crazy rumor I heard (I highly doubt its true, but want to believe) in regards to a new Apple 30" monitor....... I recently spoke to a store that was selling the old 30" ACD, and was told they had been informed of a new a new 30" apple monitor coming in a couple of weeks to replace the old model since it was now finally cleared from old apple stock.

I want to believe, even though the odds dont seem in favor of the idea.

I agree. They will BOTH be unveiled during the same event next week. It only makes sense because I am pretty sure this next revision of the Macbook Pro is every bit as worthy of an event as the new iPad, if not moreso.

Very interesting... Where did you get all this info?
 
I am hoping they release the new 65 inch Mac Book Mondo. The Mondo comes with 15 minutes of battery life and three days of generator power.
 
I wonder if would be possible for Apple to switch from embedded flash to the SSDs used in the MBA. I wouldn't be surprised to see those available on all MBP's after the update and buying SSDs in ever greater volume probably gives Apple a pretty hefty discount and it would definitely give the iPad an advantage that competitors could not match. I don't know anything of the technical merits of such an idea, maybe it's not realistic at all, but it's an idea I find interesting.

The question is Will Steve be the one doing the unveiling or who else?

The last time Steve Jobs was on medical leave, Phil Schiller did the honors for the 17 inch MacBook Pro in January 2009. I think they will have someone else do it, rather then Steve Jobs appearance become more of a story than the iPad 2 is.

I'll bet they will have that hillbilly CEO do it.
 
Of course it makes sense. If "LightPeak" is going into 1 product, its going into all Apple products. There are no other devices currently available that use LightPeak. Its an Apple 'ecosystem' thing.

MBP's, iMac's and iPad all launched simultaneously and all in LiquidMetal and all with LightPeak. iPhone and revised MBA will follow shortly thereafter.....

My 0.02.....

When I first saw this, I said to myself, this does not bode well for mbp to have significant body redesigned.

But now maybe it will get pushed off to next week (mbp announce first and then one more thing into ipad 2?)

That's not bad.. I can wait one more week if it means major redesigned.. Not that there is anything wrong w/ the current designed.

The 27" should be good enough for you. Screw the vertical resolution differences. Its good enough. 🙂
 
Unless the iPad 2 is something special, I doubt I'll buy it. I'm still perfectly happy with my iPad.

Then again, I wasn't planning on buying the first iPad, but ended up getting it on launch day......


I guess we'll start seeing the "How much is my iPad worth?" threads now.....
