Apple just sent out invitations to an event next Wednesday to be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Besides the time and location information, the invite only says "We have something you really need to see. And touch." The words are superimposed on what is almost certainly an iPad.
It's all but a done deal now: Apple will unveil the iPad 3 on March 7. The event is due to begin at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (1 p.m. ET).
The San Francisco location contradicts a rumor from earlier today that said the event would be held in New York City. Many expressed doubt over that rumor since it goes against almost every previous Apple product unveiling, which are typically held on the West Coast.
Is the reference to something that we "really need to see" a reference to the super-high-res retina display that Apple is rumored to be including in the iPad 3? Or maybe something more esoteric? What could "touch" be referring to? Feel free to speculate in the comments.
