Apple confirms “March of the iPad 3” event.

The Loop reports that Apple announces iPad event for March 7 in San Francisco.

“We have something you really have to see. And touch.”

We received the words back in December 2011 that the next iPad which is expected to carry the name iPad 3 would be coming in March 2012. According on a source who claimed to have a firstname@apple.com email:

  • iPad 3 display has double the horizontal and vertical resolution, but the term “Retina Display” was not even mentioned once.
  • iPad 3 would be compatible with the current Smart Cover.

Key Apple employees are currently in Foxconn China factory, according to various sources.

As usual, we will be aggregating links to sites who would be providing live report from the event.

“How much is the shipping fee?”

Let’s see. A $0.30 worth of merchandise with $89.40 shipping & handling. That makes a lot of sense. Apparently this particular third party seller at Amazon doesn’t want to pay the marketplace percentage fee. The $89.90 shipping & handling fee is for standard shipping too.

Well, it’s just a bad WordPress installation.

This site went semi-offline earlier today thanks to a bad installation of WordPress.org nightly build. At first it seemed the WordPress install was having trouble connecting to the MySQL database. I really thought I had to restore the MySQL database from the backup.

I have decided to keep 37prime.news on the official release instead of living on the edge. Lesson learned.
