iPad 3 Debut in February? Hmm, Steve’s Birthday Is the 24th.

Apple’s next generation iPad could debut a month earlier than its predecessor. Industry sources tell Citi analyst Richard Gardner that the iPad 3, or whatever it’s to be called, will launch sometime in February. That’s a month earlier than Apple showed off the iPad 2, and a month later than the original iPad. As far as specs for the device go, Gardner doesn’t have much to say, though he does believe it will have a display with a resolution significantly higher than that of the current model.
