Apple is preparing to introduce the second-generation iPad in a special event next week, according to a report.
Multiple sources close to the situation say Apple is set to unveil the upgrade for the popular tablet on March 2 in San Francisco, according to the well-sourced Kara Swisher of All Things Digital.
“The Wednesday date in a little more than a week is firm and will take place in San Francisco, the scene of many such Apple events,” Swisher writes.
Apple does not comment on rumors or speculation, but small clues hint at the possibility of the iPad 2 gaining front and rear-facing cameras (similar to the iPhone 4) and a more powerful graphics processor. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported a rumor that the resolution of the iPad 2 would not be significantly improved, which could come as a disappointment to customers.
If the March 2 launch date turns out to be true, the iPad 2’s debut will come just days after Motorola’s first tablet, the Xoom, is set to hit stores on Feb. 24.
