Likely as "lame" as the introduction of the first iPad running 3.2 instead of 4.0 that we all KNEW it would be running.
Draw a giant red arrow on the invitation pointing to this indication of iOS 5 in any form, please.
Let's see how many things are wrong with this post.
1. iPad was a brand new product, and 3.2 might as well have been 1.0, as it was just enough to get the first one out the door.
2. iPad was introduced in January, not March.
3. March is the month for iOS previews. Can you imagine Apple holding another event 2-3 weeks after (days before iPad 2 is released). No.
4. iPad 2 is a product REFRESH. The hardware will take 5-10 minutes to talk about, at most. And since its going to be available in about 30 days, it will undoubtedly ship with iOS 4.3.
So whats the event for? Speed bump and cameras? Nope. It's to highlight what the new device can do now, AND, what's in store for iPads come the release of iOS 5.
2011 is the year of? What? Speed bumps?
The RED f******* arrow is the Maps icon (roadmap logo for iOS preview events), and the tag line.
A whole media event just for the iPad 2? I don't thinks so.
There must be some cloud computing annoucements coming too. With all the apps and personal data on the iPads it would be ideal to have them sync better with the cloud. That is, something better than MobileMe that allows documents to be worked on the iPad but stored in MobileMe and not just iWork documents but Office ones or any 3rd party productivity apps.
The Macbook Pros should also be presented at the event. We'll see next week.
I don't expect the 'new' port on the ipad to be mini-display.
But we'll find out tomorrow. I expect it to be a thunderbolt port [hate the name].
Does thunderbolt video out?
I take it that you didn't notice that the Thunderbolt port was the exact same shape as a mini DisplayPort port?
LightPeak (aka Thunderbolt) supports multiple protocols, including DisplayPort. If the port is the same as mini Display/Port whats stopping you from plugging a mini DisplayPort cable into that thing? Nothing. Based on the leaks today, the new port will be a mini DisplayPort port and a Thunderbolt port in one. Such a port would make perfect sense for the iPad (HD video out and a high speed data connection).

I don't think the Pirate Capitalism that resulted in the Credit Crunch was created by a Socialist Government. I think it was Reagan en Maggie (thick as thieves) creating that disaster in the first place.
Apple's invitation is quite cocky. I can't wait to see what they are coming out with because Apple is a company that delivers pretty well. If this is truly the year of the iPad 2, even if it may not have the same specs as the Android tablets, there has to be some form of game changer here.
By the way: in all of Apple's product photography, the products have that diagonal glossy screen because it makes there products look slick and shiny. It is not a real reference of how the product's screen is going to look.

Yep. You can see it in this stock photo from Apple's website. Do people seriously think the invite photo is iPad 2.0?
yes, it's frowned upon to end sentences with prepositions. but the correct alternative here is "Come See of What 2011 Will be the Year". if you thought apple's wording was awkward...
Reminds me of a story my ol' linguistics professor liked to tell. Visiting Harvard, he asked a passing student, "Can you please tell me where the Dean's office is at?" To which the student replied, "Good sir, we do not end our sentences with prepositions." Abashed, my ol' prof corrected himself: "Sorry about that. Can you please tell me where the Dean's office is at, asshole?"

One of my profs from long ago, if asked a question that ended with "at", would respond...
Actually, it's perfectly written. It would be awkward if it weren't a rebuttal to Google's earlier claim. But it packs a punch and gets its message across effectively. One could argue the old "never end with a preposition" saw, but that has been largely discredited. Furthermore, even the most pedantic grammar teachers argue that you can violate any rule if you have a good reason to do so.
And finally, this is the "Think Different" company. That worked out pretty well.

Does thunderbolt video out?
I don't see why the iPad needs two ways to connect to iTunes.
I also don't see why a thunderbolt cable can't have a 30 pin dock connector (or new type of dock connector all together) on the other end?
Couldn't Apple sell an optional TB to Dock connector cable? For people who buy new Macs this year want to sync faster than USB 2?

oops... premature post. Never mind.
Premature extrapolation?

Everybody appreciates creative dangling.
It's been noted in other circles that there are danglers and there are retractors. That's TMI already so don't ask for more.
Dear Apple,
Please, please, please, don't screw over Canada this time with the release dates, thanks.
Who is Canada?

Hehe.
Who didn't get the [30% of my salary] joke:
Who didn't get the difference between point-of-sale and Amazon:
Finally! After ninety posts we have a winner!
There goes 30% of my bet with someone that no one would ever come forward with a reasoned response to this.

Where's Canada?
A bit further from Utah.

You're absolutely correct.
So....
...It is grammatically correct to say:
"With this shit, I will not up with put"?
yeah, for Yoda.
