iPad 3 release date 2011 ruled out


Rumors had suggested iPad 3 would land alongside iPhone 5 at September event.


The iPad 3 will not be released later this year, as had previously been rumored. That’s according to component suppliers in the Far East, who say they’ve not heard a peep from Apple about the next-gen iPad.

The news comes from Digitimes in Taiwan, which says its sources remain unconvinced that the iPad 3 will be hitting shelves this year. A series of rumors had suggested Apple would be releasing a new iPad in September.

However, with the iPad 2 rumored to have shifted in excess of 2.5 million in its first month, it seems Apple is happy with the slate as it is. Such a short life-cycle would doubtless also cause plenty of punters to complain.
