“Japanese blog Macotakara has posted a follow-up to their previous claim of a February iPad 3 media event,” Arnold Kim reports for MacRumors.
“The original report had claimed that Apple would hold an iPad 3 media event in February with product launch in March,” Kim reports. “The site is now reporting that while there will be an event in February, that it would be a ‘strange’ (or unusual) event rather than the usual product announcement event.”
Kim reports, “Meanwhile, they now report that the iPad 3 announcement and launch will both take place in March.”

[Thanks to MacDailyNews Reader “Fred Mertz” for the heads up.]
An event addressing carbon neutral shift? Other moves not product-related?
A rethink Ping backed into iCloud?
rethunk
baked
English tough!
“rethought” not “rethunk”. Neither “thunk” nor “rethunk” are english words. Go back to school.
let loose the losers!
A new Newton! It’s what Steve and a “secret team” we’re working on.
– Going to give a Dividend?
– iWork ’11?
– Moving manufacturing to US?
– Getting into car audio?
– Getting into the art business (not sure how)?
– New mini-stores with a “Geek Squad” equivalent?
– Proposal to unite all AirPorts into a superNET to span the US?
– Spinoff of a non-profit arm?
Other ideas?
Come to think of it, probably related to all this negative press about Chinese workers. Could just be a heart-to-heart session sharing data, intentions, etc., a la their response to antenna-gate.
Skynet beta
I’d LOVE for Apple to get into car radio and come up with something that kicks that craptastic Microsoft Sync junk out of cars everywhere. Ech. Siri in cars would be da bomb.
I’m hoping for iWork ’11 with 3D media incorporated into Keynote presentations like in iBooks Author.

Next month they’ll predict a “different” event for March with the iPad 3 announcement event in April.
Way to cover your *ss, Macotakara!
Announce they’re buying Facebook for cash?
I thought of that, but there’s no reason to want to control Facebook if they’re not competing. You need a computer or device to run FB. No conflict there.
Even if FB wanted to debut their own hardware, they’d be insane to cripple it on all the world’s existing systems. No conflict there.
FB probably wants to be the dominant platform — essentially a web OS to manage your communication and media sharing. But again, even if they’re working on their own computer OS, which I doubt, there’s no reason to exclude Macs or PC’s along the way.
Better for FB to continue to ride along on other people’s hardware and other people’s computer OS’s and be a wormhole into their own dimension through the web.
So then, why would Apple want or need to control FB’s direction? Better to provide the “deep integration” already rumored for iOS 5.1 and work side by side.
And them there is one more thing.
Apple juist bought Samsung to reduce the legal cost…..
That’s funny!
February – Dividend and/or split
March – iPad update, not iPad3
February – TV
March – iPad
