I don't see any reason for NY but I was surprised by the iBooks Author location. Maybe that will be Cook's thing.

I'll likely go WiFi only.
LTE will grow quickly over the next year as we will finally have chips that are decent enough to be used.

Everyone I know that has a 4G phone either has poor battery life or turns off that functionality most of the time. I would characterize their phones as "Damn! That's a huge screen! How do you use it as a phone?"
Since much of the media is located in NyC invites need not go out early. Further the invites might already be out there, I mean honestly how do you think CNBC came up with the projection in the first place.
Well I played devils advocate above but frankly I agree with you. One of the reasons I don't watch TV much is due very much to the lies, distortions, ignorance and bias that passes for news. It comes from all sides to the benefit of none. The bad reporting isn't always malicious so fining people for being stupid may be an exercise without results. I think it is fair to say that today's news is about looks, not about reporting from individuals with a strong grasp of the subject matter. Of course that does not excuse out right lying, bias or distortion.
Agreed. The Press gets a NDA to sign and on embargo with authorization to leak out a bit here and there before the presentation.
CNBC was wrong about the location (although I suppose there could be a simultaneous stream venue in NYC for the media). Maybe because their source had info about the already-past textbooks event, and mistakenly thought it was new info? Or maybe just flat-out sourceless info over-hyped.
So I?ll discount the rest of CNBC?s rumor too, and expect, lets?s see, a tri-core iPad 3! Three cores... yeah, that sounds good. I?ll go with that.
The city of New York will play a "key" role in the Apple's unveiling of its third-generation iPad next week, a device expected to pack a quad-core processor and 4G LTE connectivity, financial news network CNBC claimed on Tuesday [updated]. [...]
Oh well. CNBC should leave rumor-mongering to the expert rumor-mongers. (And we all know who they are. :-))
It's possible that Apple gave the NYC unveiling rumor to an employee who they suspected of leaking announcements and/or info. That way they could confirm that the individual was in fact the source of leaks and could take steps. (As mycatsnameis has already posted...)
I have a feeling the pink slip has already been drafted ...
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Security officer: "Well, we've got it down to these four individuals as our leaker. So let's let them see announcements saying that the announcement will be held at Apple Campus, Chicago, NYC, and Las Angeles".
The cynical part of me says shit like this is an attempt to tank the stock, when the 'dissapointing' dual-core, non-LTE iPad3 is revealed. I can see the headlines now. 'Underwhelming', 'below-expectations', 'less than expected', etc.
the iPad 3 will do just fine in the marketplace. there's no need to feel personally slighted by comments / opinions from a complete stranger.
It won't have 4G and if you think it will you ought to stop bothering with sites like this because you clearly aren't learning anything.
Apple will not ruin the iPad's battery life and compactness by putting a piece of technology in their device that only a tiny, tiny fraction of its customers will be able to make use of during the life-cycle of the product.
It's by having that simple focus that Apple has been so successful. I just don't see how anyone can fail to see this.

2012 is ripe for Apple to add LTE to their iPad and/or iPhone. There are other devices using new LTE chips that are fairly power efficient, certainly more so than between Apple's first and second iPhone where they went from EDGE to UMTS data.
That is not to say that Apple will launch LTE with the iPad before the iPhone but there is no real technical issue at this point that would be make it an unlikely prospect.

You DO realize the second wave of LTE chips is entering production, right? The ones with much better power draw?

Confirmed, March 7! California!

CNBC wasn't making the claim, but an analyst talking on CNBC, right?
one source = a rumor.
second independent confirming source = a story.
gonna take you a few days to wipe all that egg off your face.

Perhaps, but it was CNBC who decided to believe the analyst and they treated it as some sort of breaking news, even making a news alert.

Can you say ... "False info to out a leaker"?

Could it be becoz NY gets better 4G connection then California?
Or because 3G reception in NYC is godawful.

Thank you. Probably a ploy by analysts and CNBC to boost the stock market by stimulating the NYC financial oligarchy.
