Apple iPad 3 Release Event Live: Where to Get Live Coverage of the New iPad Announcement

Apple is set to finally take the wraps off its third generation iPad at a press event in San Francisco today. According to earlier announcements by the Cupertino-based company, the event is scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (1 p.m. ET) at the Yerba Buena Center for Arts in San Francisco.

The latest round of rumors about the most anticipated features of the next iPad has set the tech world on fire with Apple enthusiasts around the world going crazy about the device.

If rumors are to be believed, the next generation iPad aka iPad 3 or iPad HD will be thicker than the iPad 2. It will feature a much faster A5X chip, 4G LTE compatibility, a 9.7-inch retina display with 2048 x 1536 resolutions, improved graphics and a larger battery. Speculations also suggest Apple may introduce more robust Smart Cover for the new iPad, Cydia Blog reported.

Using its HTTP Live Streaming technology that requires a Mac or iOS device running Safari, Apple streamed the iPod music event in September 2010 and the Back to the Mac event in October 2010.

However, the company didn't provide any live stream for the iPad 2 launch, iOS 5 preview and iPhone 4S launch last year. Although it seems that there won't be a public live stream of the next iPad event, you can watch live coverage of the event in USTREAM.
