New Apple rumours [4]

AN Apple source has spilt the beans and said “preparations are being made for a big Apple Store event which will culminate on Friday, March 16th. Naturally, this points to an iPad 3 launch on the Friday just eight days after today’s announcement. We’ve previously noted that an Apple Store in London at the world famous Harrod’s will open on that date as well as a new Store in Houston, Texas.” The source, speaking to 9to5mac has been reliable in the past.

 Other conflicting rumours gathering force is of course based on an iPad HD, according to reports from CNET. After months of speculation surrounding the latest unveiling, the site reported that: “A developer who’s previously provided reliable information with respect to things Apple and otherwise tells us the next iPad uses the HD moniker instead of going with “iPad 3.” That matches up well with a report from Gizmodo last week (and an item just posted on VentureBeat) that included an alleged list of upcoming cases from Griffin, listing the product as “iPad HD (3).”

 The Retina Display is said and hoped to be the biggest upgrade of the device, a milestone for Apple. Other rumours are floating around about a possible release of Apple TV; as MacRumours talks about Apple TV stocks slipping in stores.
