Apple plans to launch iPad 3 in March

San Francisco: Apple has plan to launch its latest iPad tablet at an event in the first week in March in San Francisco.

The next generation iPad will have faster chips and better graphics, Xinhua reported quoting the technology news site AllThingsD.

The report not mentioned when it will hit stores.

The new tablet, which will probably be named iPad 3, will feature a Retina Display or something close to it. The iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S have Retina Display.
