Apple has announced an event for the next iPad on March 7th (stating the obvious)
Retina Display on new iPad (comparison to iPad 2)
Looks like there's no home button too.
I'm not really an "Apple guy" per se, but I appreciate technology, so naturally, I'm interested.
Discuss, speculate, love, hate, whatever.
EDIT:
Heard rumors that they might be dropping info on an Apple TV set. We'll see.
Read this morning that they might integrate haptic feedback into device, providing feeling to different "surfaces" on the screen.

The last few weeks have seen a whirlwind of iPad-related rumors in anticipation of the event. Another purported leak from a Chinese microblogging site has suggested that Apple's high-definition Retina Display could add a previously unexpected $80 premium to the price of the iPad, pushing the entry level price up to $579 for the Wi-Fi-only 16GB model. All Wi-Fi models would see an $80 price boost, the documents suggest, while 3G-capable models would see their prices rise $70 each.
Other changes to the iPad are expected to be largely internal, with evidence of a faster processor and potential 4G LTE connectivity having surfaced in recent weeks. On the outside, the next iPad is expected to look largely the same, with an external case featuring edges slightly more tapered than the iPad 2.
Another leak showed a purported "iPad 3" logic board, featuring a processor labeled "A5X," suggesting the chip could be a more powerful version of the A5 CPU currently found in the iPad 2 and iPhone 4S rather than a full-fledged "A6" upgrade. Reports have also been divided as to whether the next iPad will be powered by a quad-core processor or a dual-core CPU.
