Rumor: iPad 3 Already in Production for March Launch

As the iPhone 4S bobbery seems to have died down from yesterday its time to get some good old 3 gossip out there. The latest report suggests the 3 is now in with a planned for March!

The iPad 3 will be the latest iPad from Apple and if rumors are true the next generation iPad is actually in production now with a launch date planned for March 2012.

The news comes from Chinese newspaper China Times, who claim that Foxconn and Pegatron have reportedly received orders from Apple for the iPad 3 and have began production of the next generation Apple tablet.

As always Apple and it’s suppliers have managed to remain tight lipped about the new iPad, but some news has slipped through the net.

Most tech sites are expected the iPad 3 to be very similar in design to the iPad 2, only a little thicker due to a new backlight LED system.

The LED system has been designed to give enough brightness to the the rumored 2048 x 1536 resolution 3 Retina display, which will be jointly manufactured by Sharp in Japan and LG in Korean.

We also expect the iPad 3 to have a quad core Apple A6 CPU, updated rear camera and a new HD Facetime camera, along with a much larger longer lasting battery!
