Sources Say That New Apple Product Will Be Available For Order Today.

A short message from a source who insisted on anonymity and is not Phil Schiller, a new Apple product will be available for order at the Apple Store today. Could the new iPad be available for order today? Is it possible for the new iPad to be available at Apple Store today? It could be something that has almost been forgotten (hint, hint!).

Head to Apple Online Store after the iPad Special Event wrapped.

By the way, Apple Online Store is closed for maintenance.

Apple March 2nd iPad Event Live Coverage Links.

Apple is holding a special event at Yerba Buena Center For The Arts on Wednesday on March 2nd, 2011. Apple is hinting that the event is iPad related. As usual, numbers of sites, journalists and bloggers will be providing live coverage from the event.

Links will be added as they are made available. Links are alphabetically ordered.

The “maybe providing coverage” list:

Meta-coverage by TWiT.tv.

I wonder if John Gruber would spend his Daring Fireball money to fly out to San Francisco for this event?

It would be another big surprise if Apple is streaming the event live on Apple.com.

Live coverage will definitely stars shortly on March 2nd, 2010 before:

  • 08:00 AM – Hawaii
  • 10:00 AM – Pacific
  • 11:00 AM – Mountain
  • 12:00 PM – Central
  • 01:00 PM – Eastern
  • 06:00 PM – London
  • 07:00 PM – Paris
  • 03:00 AM – Tokyo (March 3rd)
  • 05:00 AM – Sydney (March 3rd)

NOTES:
What do Leo Laporte, Ryan Block and Gizmodo have in common? They are not invited to this event.

Apple iPad Event, March 2nd, 2011.

Apple has made it official, iPad Event on March 2nd, 2011. Our source mentioned a week ago the “around March 1st” date for such event/announcement.

Our source originally mentioned that iOS 4.3 might be released as early as late February or early March. The GM build of iOS 4.3 might be seeded to developers shortly after the event. Previously, the same mentioned that iOS 4.3 could be in developers hands as early as February 22nd.

An Apple executive is scheduled to leave for China this weekend to oversee productions of iOS device, namely the next generation iPad. Our sorce vaguely mentioned late March/early April for product actual release date, we think it might be the day the next generation iPad in the stores.

iOS 4.3 is coming as early as late February or early March, 2011.

UPDATE:
The source clarifies:

iPad announcement around March 1st, 2011. The March/April date is not for MacBook/MacBook Pro.

So when will the new MacBook and MacBook Pro be released?

Sooner than you’d expect.

According to a source who shall remain anonymous and is definitely not Scott Forstall, iOS 4.3 is coming as early as late February or Early March, 2011. iOS 4.3 GM is expected to be seeded as early as February 22nd, 2011.

iOS 4.3 will be made available for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad, and Apple TV (iOS version).

In somewhat related news, an Apple iOS executive is scheduled to go to China for three weeks overseeing production of an iOS device; iPad 2nd generation. The next iPad should see the announcement around March 1st, 2011.

Apple is also reported to unveil new models of MacBook and MacBook Pro line late March or early April, 2011.

The Apple Ratio

Apple announces the launch of Subscriptions on the App Store and firmly establishes the Apple Ratio; 70:30.

It would’ve made more sense for everyone if Apple say that any Apps must include the In-App-Purchasing option if it has an Put-Of-App-Purchasing option. The same goes with subscriptions. I’m pretty sure there will be a lot of arguments to be made here.
