Apple Schedules Media Event for March 2

ByMike Moffit

According to The Loop, Apple today issued invitations to a media event next Wednesday the 2nd. The event, which will be held at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, is widely speculated to mark the introduction of updates to Apple’s iOS platform and potentially the iPad. The not so subtle imagery accompanying the invitation serves to bolster these claims. Apple has held numerous events at the Yerba Buena Center in the past, and debuted the original iPad at the venue early last year. The event is slated (get it?) to take place at 10:00 AM PST. Tune in to Barkings and @hellosmalldog at 1 PM EST for updates.

  • iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2 for iPad Sneak Peek

    *iOS 4.1*
    Today, Apple introduced iOS 4.1. Steve Jobs noted a lot of fixes and new features, including:

    * various bug fixes for Proximity, Bluetooth and iPhone 3G
    * High Dynamic Range photos
    * HD video upload over Wi-Fi
    * TV show rentals
    * Game Center

    High Dynamic Range photos consist of essentially three separate images so that it will gather midranges, shadows and highlights effectively. As I mentioned earlier, HD video uploads and TV show rentals, and Game Center–a hub for multiplayer games.

    iOS 4.1 will be available next week for iPhone and iPod touch. More on this then!

    *iOS 4.2 for iPad*
    The iPad should feel special, because it’s getting its own (i)OS update. iOS 4.2 is all about the iPad.

    This is why it’s hot:

    * wireless printing for iOS on your iPad
    * AirPlay to stream video and audio over Wi-Fi from your iPad
    * add apps to folders, just like iPhone, as well as multitasking

    The update will be available in November, and it’s free for iPad users. We’ll be writing more on this as soon as we get our hands on it.
