Apple iPad 3 Unveiling & Release Date: First week of March or Feb. 29

Recent reports say Apple will unveil the iPad 3 at an event in San Francisco.

Apple could take advantage this year being a leap year, and make the device’s debut extra-special by launching it on February 29.

The beginning of March seems to be the timeframe.

In addition, details found in iOS 5.1 suggest the updated version will arrive on March 9, which makes it likely that the iPad 3 will go on sale that day as well.

If you own an iPad 2, now might be a good time to sell it.
