With today's announcement, we're pretty sure that iOS 5.1 will be right around the corner, with a probable release of the Gold Master sometimes this week.
A few people on Twitter asked me to put up a friendly reminder that jailbreakers should make sure not to update to iOS 5.1 when it comes out, especially iPhone 4S owners...
Apple's highly-anticipated iPad 3 event is just half an hour away. But that hasn't stopped tipsters from coming forward with some last-minute information regarding today's announcements.
9to5Mac is reporting that it has just received a couple of tips from its always reliable "Mr X" source. It appears that 4G LTE iPads are already populating in Apple's inventory, as are the "mystery" accessories we've been hearing about...
As always prior to a huge event like this, Apple has taken their online store offline in order to update it with new products.
While Apple has not come forth and said what they will be unveiling today (and they never do), the iPad refresh is in the cards along with an updated Apple TV.
No one's 100% sure what the arrangements will be when the store comes back online, but various reports state that the Apple TV will be available for immediate purchase...
Is this the real secret of the iPad 3 invite? According to a report by The Next Web's Matthew Panzarino, Apple could be cooking up something incredible for the iPad 3.
That incredible secret — one that has ironically been sitting under everyone's nose the entire time — is a special touch feedback technology that was first revealed where? Yep, Cupertino, California.
Panzarino reasons that while the currently existing haptic feedback technology employed by Android products and the like are pretty uninspiring, this new technology could permanently change how we expect to interact with touch screen devices...
Tomorrow's event won't be exclusively about the iPad 3, as 9to5Mac confirms what we've heard before about an Apple TV refresh:
We’ve gotten a few more tidbits about tomorrow’s Apple TV announcement (Oh, there will be a new iPad too!). The Apple TV J33 model, MD199LL/A – J33 BEST -USA, which we’ve covered before will come in at the same $99 price point (and similar prices globally). We know from previous reports that it will have updated hardware internally including Bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom chip as well as a higher powered processor capable of 1080P video.
This is definitely not a surprise. As a matter of fact, we dedicated a whole section of our predictions for tomorrow's event about the Apple TV.
9to5Mac also mentions a mystery accessory that would be available for $39. It likely is a dock, cable, or maybe a new remote. All those questions will be answered tomorrow, so make sure to tune in to iDB for the full coverage.

If you ask me, that doesn't sound like the next "Motorola XZY Board Extreme Molotov Cocktail Edition 4G" phone...
