Sometime in 2011

and everything you ever wanted, some things you didn't know you wanted and it will be missing some other things.

This sort of information is not something that Apple makes available, they always play their cards very close to their chest when it comes to the release dates and tech specs of new products.

Anybody that tells you that the new iPad will be released on xxxx date, is just guessing.
Anyone who tells you what the new tech specs will be, are also guessing.

Some guesses are better than others.

Bottom line, it's all a guessing game.

Me, I think April is probably a good month to see the new iPad. But what do I know? Happy

Quick question, Apple Keynote
Feb 7, 2011 7:23AM PST

Does anyone know when Apple's next Keynote will be?

Not me

and probably not anyone else, bar Apple themselves.

Haven't you noticed that Apple does not broadcast its plans for anything until it is ready to do so.

There is no set time for any of their events

Thanks and one more question
Feb 10, 2011 4:01AM PST

Thank you mrmacfixit. I honestly didn't know if Apple had Keynotes on a schedule or not. I'm an Apple newbie. One more question. With Game Center, if I turn off both options as shown in this screenshot
(http://www.ilounge.com/assets/images/articles_gamecenter/2.jpg)
will that make it private (So that no one can find me online)? Just asking before I consider buying. Thank you for all your help.

That will probably make you invisible to

others that are using that game but will not make you invisible on the internet.

To do that is another whole can of worms.

The new prototype displayed by Apple is a bit larger than the former but lesser in weight...It might be out in few months time

Where is Apple displaying this new prototype?
Jan 27, 2011 10:33AM PST

I'm sure we would be interested in seeing it.

It would be unusually for Apple to display anything that is not about to go on sale and be available right now in the Apple Store.


Links please, genuine ones

The photo shopped or other Ipod 2 images. You have to smile when you see it with the 5G label.

Yes, I have seen those,
Jan 27, 2011 9:07PM PST

I was referring to the posters claim of "the new prototype displayed by Apple"

I know they are fake, not displayed by Apple, and was wondering if the OP actually understood that.

Have you heard the one?
Jan 29, 2011 10:09AM PST

Not only about 5G network support but future network support?

I guess anything for web hits on a blog.

This beats

Your "folding LCD" beats my "folding keyboard" by miles.

Now I want to read "Helium filled" reduces weight.
