iPhone Developer News

As expected, Apple today issued invitations to the media for an event next Wednesday, March 7, where it’s expected to launch the next iPad.

The news confirmed earlier speculation that Apple would debut the newest iPad — which most have labeled iPad 3 — in early March, which later settled on March 7, the same day of the week Apple used to launch the original tablet in 2010 and last year’s iPad 2.

“We have something you really have to see. And touch,” read the invitation, which continues Apple’s tradition of keeping its invitation text cryptic.

Most experts believe the iPad 3 will feature a higher-resolution screen, a faster processor — perhaps Apple’s first quad-core — and more internal memory, although they are split on whether the new tablet will support the faster LTE data networks / 4G.

The Internet is abuzz with some recent product leaks concerning the latest Apple iPhone 3.0 beta software. Though the new software is currently being tested by developers using Apple iPhone 3G hardware, some tweaks to the way the system interprets configuration files has revealed a few new interface screens, and perhaps some new capabilities. While some of these upgraded features may be available for current Apple iPhone 3G users, it’s clear that Apple will need to release a new device to be able to support some of the new hardware capabilities.
