Gear Diary Reminder that Apple is Allegedly Having an iPad Event TODAY at 1PM EST (10AM PST) photo

If you have been even glancing at tech news sites and blogs recently you have noticed a theme – every day we ‘know’ something new about the iPad 3 / 2S / HD … and that about 50% of the time it is a direct contradiction to the new stuff we learned the day before! Since it is clear that Apple works on loads of things at once including numerous mock-ups and trial bits of hardware, it is likely true that much of what is rumored is true … but as we have seen, that doesn’t mean that stuff will hit the shipping product, or even that the product being rumored is real!

We have heard: Retina display, dual core/quad-core processors, new connector, no home button, 4G, no 4G, 128GB model, only 16/32GB models, 7″ iPad Jr as the ‘one more thing’, Steve sends lightning down if a 7″ iPad is introduced, and on and on and on.

We can reasonably expect: a new iPad, and a reveal of their ‘last gen’ iPad strategy (if any).

We know: Apple is holding a press event on March 7th in San Francisco, at the Yerba Buena Center of the Arts and starts at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time.

Whatever IS announced, you can be sure we will have it covered and give our perspective on what all means to real people using technology (and not just the ‘pixel-counters’ and ‘megahertz munchers’)!

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!

    Allegedly?  If you get an invitation to it, it’s fact.  I guess you were trying to be funny.  So I’ll let it pass.

      You will ‘let it pass’? How magnanimous of you! :)

      Seriously, it is accurate. The event IS scheduled, so that part is fact. The iPad part was never confirmed … sure most people are pretty confident, but it is a reminder that the hundreds upon hundreds of ‘confirmed’ reports about what is happening today are almost all link-baiting speculation, often re-reported from another source. So my take was – we KNOW there is an event. We are pretty sure it is an iPad event. The rest … we’ll see in a couple of hours.

        Mike, you make a good point. Yes, even the image from the invite shows a touchscreen device but until they announce we really do know nothing. This is, after all, Apple.

      Really!!! Impressed you picked up on that. ;)
