Apple TV Refresh Could Be Announced Alongside New iPad
Apple could be about to refresh the Apple TV. By saying Refresh, I mean that it could be another set-top box that is launching rather than a full Apple TV that has been rumoured for the last few months. That particular model is still about a year away if rumours are to be believed.
iPad 3 Release Date Likely to be March
Reports are indicating that the next generation iPad, likely to be called the iPad 3, will be announced early in March and will be launched about a week after that to follow on from the mid-March release date of the iPad 2 last year.
With just a week expected between the announcement and launch a number of developers are beginning to prepare Retina resolution graphics just in case the new model does have a Retina display. Remember that when the iPhone 4 launched there were a few weeks in which developers could recreate graphics to match the higher resolution screen. This thought also follows along with an email sent out by this week to Apple developers which requested that all images for the iTunes store were sent in a Retina resolution which hints that the 3GS is coming to the end of its life soon. Also, it could be a hint that we will soon see the same email about submitting higher res iPad screenshots to the store.
