Everything apple a6
Complete rumor rundown of Apple's upcoming iPad 3 event, from release date to hardware hopes and software speculation
Apple's next generation iPad 3 will almost certainly be announced on Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, California. Everything else about it, however, is still up in the air. That's nothing new. The road to every Apple product release is paved and pot-holed with rumors true and fake, and this one is no different.

BGR was given screenshots from sources who claim to have access to the iPad 3, indicating it will come packed with a quad-core A6 chip and support LTE speeds.
Bloomberg is reporting that Apple has begun production of the iPad 3 for an expected March 2012 release.
