iPad 2, iOs 4.3, Steve Jobs and then some.
iPad 2 and iOS 4.3 Are Coming March 11, 2011.
Apple unveils iPad 2 and set March 11, 2011 as the release date. 1GHz Dual Core A5 Processor, front and rear camera, 1080p HDMI support, comes in black and white. Yes white model, unlike the ever-promised white iPhone 4.
iOS 4.3 will see the light of day presumably when iPad 2 ships. Developers should be getting the GM build pretty soon.
This is a short post. Will be back for the link for the Video from the event.
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.
