新款iPad发布在即 或于3月16日上市开卖

Apple’s next iPad will be available on March 16th, additional launch event planned.

来自科技媒体9To5Mac的最新消息称，苹果的下一代iPad将于3月16日上市，届时苹果还会有一场发布活动。

We’ve been told by an Apple Store source who has been reliable in the past that preparations are being made for a big Apple Store event which will culminate on Friday, March 16th. Naturally, this points to an iPad 3 launch on the Friday just nine days after today’s announcement. We’ve previously noted that an Apple Store in London at the world famous Harrod’s will open on that date as well as a new Store in Houston, Texas.

根据苹果商店的可靠来源表示，他们正在为3月16日也就是下周五的苹果商店大事件做准备，这也就意味着iPad 3将在发布9天后的周五正式投放市场。之前网站曾报道过，正是3月16日这个日期，在伦敦的Harrod百货公司和德克萨斯州的休斯敦分别会有一家新开的苹果商店。

Speaking of Texas, Apple will NOT be putting up a temporary store at SXSW in Austin this year according to the The Austin American-Statesman. Last year, Apple built a temporary Store at the event that coincided with the launch of the iPad 2.

根据《奥斯汀美国政治家报》的报道，苹果今年不会为奥斯汀的南方音乐节设置临时商店。去年为了配合iPad 2新品发布，苹果为这个国际著名的音乐盛事提供了临时商店。

Yesterday, two simultaneous reports came out stating the name of Apple’s new product would be the ‘iPad HD’ and recently more and more evidence points to an LTE version being announced.

昨天有两家报道称苹果的新品叫 iPad HD。目前越来越多的迹象表示，将会有一个LTE版本发布（小编注：LTE是介于3G和4G之间的一个版本）。

Interestingly, we were told that there would be a subsequent launch event a week later but he had no further information on the the subject matter. This could be a separate Apple product (AppleTV?) or perhaps additional International launches of the iPad.

虽然被告知一周后会有一个发布事件，但却没有进一步的相关消息。据猜测它可能是发布独立的苹果产品，如Apple TV，也可能是国际版iPad。
