iPad 3 May Be Unveiled Next Week

Apple sends out mysterious invite.

It could be an invitation to an Apple product launch—or a party of the sort Dominique Strauss-Kahn was being questioned about. “We have something you really have to see. And touch,” read the message the company sent out to journalists, sparking rumors that Apple may be ready to launch the latest version of its bestselling iPad. The company has sold more than 50 million iPads worldwide. While the invitation does not say whether the new iPad will be introduced at the event, it was accompanied by a picture showing what looked like the device’s signature touch screen. The iPad 2 was launched last year in March, and went on sale in the U.S. nine days later.
