Is Apple finally ready to roll out its next-generation iPad? The Cupertino company will hold a media event on
March 2--just over a week from now--to unveil its new tablet, according to a Tuesday report from All Things D. The Wednesday event will likely take place in San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple's preferred location for major product announcements.
The new tablet, which many Apple watchers are calling the iPad 2, has been a hot rumor-mill topic for weeks now. Reports from numerous sources claim the upcoming iPad will be thinner and lighter than the current (and
original) model, which began shipping last April.
