I seldom post “rumors” but this is ripe.

The iPad 3 rumor mill has heated up this week, fueled by a report from Japanese Apple blog Macotakara that the much anticipated tablet will come out in March.
KNOW IT ALL? Take the iPad quiz
SCUTTLEBUTT: iPad 3 rumor rollup for week ending Jan. 31
Earlier reports had pegged the coming of the iPad 3 to late February, to coincide with Steve Jobs’ Feb. 24 birthday.
Now Macotakara is reporting on a “strange” Apple event to take place in February that will be unrelated to the iPad 3, although it could involve a services announcement or something related to iOS 5.1, which has been released to developers in beta form. Translated, the post reads: “I reported that Apple was going to hold Special Event in early February according to Asian supplier and source from united states, but this report told a half-side of truth. Apple will hold ‘Strange’ event at February instead of Special Event. ”
