Rumor: iPad Training March 10, Commercial March 15, Release March 26?

The Examiner is claiming Apple will be training Apple Retail Store staff on the iPad starting March 10 followed by TV commercials to air starting March 15 (focusing on iBooks), and will likely be made available for sale March 26. (With overnight campers being rewarded with a "special gift").

The sources are said to be "insiders" and a SoCal Apple Store Manager who wishes (obviously) to remain anonymous.

9to5Mac thinks the commercial might be the top secret little number shot back in August.

Sound reasonable? Anyone breaking out the camping gear? (Or are you watching, waiting, and considering gen 2 instead ;) )

(And is this more reason than ever to get in on TiPb's countdown to iPad give-away?)

    I want to know if this means 3.2 for the iPhone or is it straight going to 4.0. I really hope not.

    My friend at work told me to consider the iPad because I love movies ( which is very true ). Also for the internet etc but Im not convinced. Well we will see. I need to hold on to one first.

    Hey Friends,

    Check out this new site I found called GiftMonkey.com. They give away free high end Laptops, Video Game Consoles, iPods, Plasma TVs, and they even have GPS Navigation Systems.

    This site is different from all of those others. They don't give you a time limit, and they don't make you signup for 10 sponsors yourself. All you have to do is try one of their sponsored offers like eBay (which doesn't cost anything), refer your friends, and they ship your free gift to your door, also free!

    Follow my link to get started: http://www.GiftMonkey.com/?s=176291

    Please help for my college... Thank you.
