Apple plans to launch an upgraded iPad 2 in March; however, the real iPad 3 won't launch until Q3 2012, according to DigiTimes.

Apple's new generation iPad will enter mass production soon with the launch set for March 2012, according to sources from the upstream supply chain; however, the sources revealed that internally Apple does not view the new iPad product as iPad 3, but rather an upgraded iPad 2 and the real iPad 3 will not be launched until the third quarter of 2012 at the earliest.

The iPad 2 upgrade is said to make the device thinner and offer longer battery life.

Apple is def showing signs of getting slower - not just on hardware releases but software updates. Looks like mr. I need to think what his name was - Cooks is too softie to the employees... Not good sign for Apples future! Apple should be flying ahead of others not coming behind! Get a grip guys!

Apple is moving too slow now. They are falling behind and by late 2012 Android devices will rule.

If you don't like what this website reports then do not read it. Go to apple.com and wait for the release announcements!

OMG here we go again with the early rumors. What a train wreck that was with the super anticipated iPhone 5.
