There are dozens of sites with so called experts all guessing what the new ipad will be like. Many of these "experts" actually get well paud to play a guessing game. And its amazing how apple can keep thousands if employees from leaking the real deal. Retina no retina. Quad core no quad core. 8 mp camera 5 mp camera. 1080p no 1080p. Why doesnt apple just release the $&8?96g specs and stop the guessing bs? The march 7 date is even speculation.

I think the rumors in this case are pretty substantial. Despite Apple's strict secrecy, photos of most of the iPad 3 parts have leaked out by now. The shell, the CPU board, the screen (which is confirmed to be retina), the digitizer/front glass. If all the parts were in the hands of the same people they could pretty much assemble one :) These are really interesting times for Apple rumor watchers.

The only guesswork now is the exact specs which aren't even that interesting in my view (I'm sure it'll be plenty fast), and the price. The most important new feature to me, the retina display, has already been confirmed. Who really cares how many megapixels the camera is.

I'm actually more surprised how they managed to keep Mountain Lion a strict secret, even in the week after the press conference. Not a hint of it leaked out. That's pretty good even for Apple.
 
So is the release date prone to be on march 7? It seems a little too early for me..though who knows! I'm really interested in getting myself an iPad 3...so if anyone might have an insight on the release date, please inform! Thanks!

That's what I'd like to know, this is probably the best thread to ask in.

Announce date is the 7th, so the release date will be some what later. Anyones guess. Possibly a couple of weeks after that, but what do I know :confused: ;)
