Apple confirms iPad 3 launch event next week

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Apple will have an iPad related event next week on March 7 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (where iPad 2 was revealed a year ago).

The invite states 'We have something you really have to see. And touch.' This 'something to see' could be the much awaited Retina Display (4X the resolution of the current model) similar to the iPhone 4 and 4S' super dense screen.

As for the touch part...well there doesn't seem to be a physical home button on the image above which means that maybe we will see some functionality from the bezel a la RIM's PlayBook.

All will be revealed next Wednesday! So stay tuned.
