“There’s only two days until Apple announces the next iPad on Wednesday, March 7th, but cases for the tablet have already started shipping in sealed boxes,” Victor H. reports for PhoneArena.
“A pink sticker on top of the boxes saying ‘Do not display until official iPad 3 launch’ confirms this, a tipster revealed,” Victor reports. “The shipment is not of just a few cases – there’s over a 1,000 Targus Versavu 360 stands for the next-gen iPad shipping to Best Buy, meaning that it won’t be long until the actual tablet hits shelves.”
Victor reports, “Also, this confirms that Apple has picked ‘iPad 3’ for the name rather than ‘iPad 2S,’ or some other variation.”

Doubtful it has a sticker with the name on it.
It may as well say, “Do not open until Wednesday. Secret iPads inside. Also new ATV’s and inductive chargers. Shhhhhh. Don’t tell nobody.”
‘ Don’t tell nobody.’
So – tell somebody?
I don’ need no steenkin’ double negative to tell me what to do!
unless there is a picture, 99% sure it says “do not open until march 7th” and probably a time.
Aw dang, I wanted it to be called the “iPad 2 II”
No iPadMini.
The 8″ device is a virtual – self recognizing device – that self syncs and assists to your other devices.
It’s a keyboard when near your iMac.
It’s a gaming controller when near your AppleTV unit.
It’s a Siri dvr/tv -remote when near your HDTV.
It’s a Siri navigation and cellphone assistant when in your Car.
and…
Its’ a elongated iPadHD where ever else you take it.
IT’S the one something,
you will want to SEE and TOUCH and use always. (iSlate)
i know you can’t wait !!!
awww … it won’t be named iPad 2S (“to Steve”)…
If this is real, it was intentional.
Apple knows how to milk the hype machine.
