The invite, sent to Mashable along with other media organizations, is full of the sly clues that Apple likes to include in invites to major announcements.

Details about the iPad 3 have leaked out in dribs and drabs over the last few months. If conventional wisdom is to be believed, Apple's next generation tablet will include:

A high-resolution retina display

A quad-core processor

The option for 4G LTE from AT&T and Verizon

The addition of Apple's personal assistant, Siri

The tagline is almost always a dead giveaway for the focus of the event. The invite for the iPhone 4S/iOS 5 announcement, for example had a "1" notification attached to the "Messages" icon, signifying to some that Apple would only announce one new phone. Other invites have shown off the new code names for OS X versions.

The tagline in this case: "We have something you really have to see. And touch."

The "see" part seems self-explanatory. The included invite image screams "retina display" and the enhanced clarity of the screen certainly seems rave-worthy. ("See" could also refer to an iTV, if 9to5Mac is to be believed.)

But what about that second line, "And touch?" Is Apple planning on enhancing the touch screen itself? Is the company bringing haptic feedback to the iPad?

Notice also the one thing that invite image tells us about the new iPad -- its screen does not appear to reach the edge of its case.

Just for fun, let's attack this thing like it's the Zapruder film. Do you see any clues hidden in the invitation? What do you think Apple will announce at its iPad event?
