iMore reports (via macrumors) that iPad 3 launch event is planned in the first week of March. They are even putting their money on March the 7th 2012. As previously rumored, iMore also claims about  introduction of all new screen (Retina Display), quad-core processor and there is also possibility of 4G LTE as well though not sure.

Sources are not sure about 4G LTE inclusion in iPad 3. 4G coverage is not wide spread around the world as some has rolled out the coverage in certain areas and some are still testing. O2 is reported testing 4G in London where we are not sure when this will become reality in the UK. Internet on 4G network is 10 times faster than normal broadband.

Now how accurate these rumors could be? well iMore had previously predicted the pre-order for iPhone 4S. Also they cite sources “who have been reliable in the past”.

We understand via macrumors that Clkoerner has put together a graphic illustration which shows screen resolutions.  Graphic shows screen resolutions of different devices including iPhone 4S and Full HD devices. If iPad 3 is gonna have Retina Display then it would support whopping 2048×1536 pixels which is higher than Full HD displays.

There have been several reports that Apple is working to introduce an amazing screen display in iPad 3. iPad 3 screensize will be the same as iPad 2 but will carry twice the pixels than it’s predecessor. This is exactly what Apple did with iPhone 4 and 4S. iPhone  3, 3G and 3GS has screen resolution of 480×320 and iPhone 4 and 4S has screen resolution of 960×640 which is double than previous models.

Japanese blog Macotakara, who’s record hasn’t been bad when it comes to predicting Apple’s future plans, has once again inked another rumor that Apple will announce the iPad 3 in a media event due in March, ahead of the launch.

We reported earlier about that Apple is making plans to announce next generation iPad in February with launch in March. This report contradicts with this rumor of media event in March. Rumors have also been emerged that FoxConn Apple’s major supplier for iOS devices has started production of iPad 3 ahead of it’s launch in March.

Among few things expected in iPad 3 are that it will be slightly thicker but change will be UN-noticeable. Current smart case cover will fit the new iPad despite the  re arrangement of magnets around the device.
