Apple sends out invites for March 7th event: Hello iPad 3?

It seems the end is finally in sight when it comes to the wait for Apple’s highly-anticipated iPad 3. According to many online sources, the tech giant has begun sending invitations out for a mystery launch event on March 7th, to take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10AM PST (6PM GMT).

Though everyone’s calling it a “mystery” launch event, the invite clearly shows a tablet device, seemingly with a resolution far higher than that of the iPad 2. So it doesn’t take a genius to hazard a guess about what might be going down on the 7th.

Pair the image with the tagline “we have something you really have to see. And touch”, and it becomes clear that a Retina Display packing slate, perhaps even with bezel touch controls, is on its way.

We’ll keep you posted on any launch rumours we hear up until then. How. Exciting.
