Apple on February 23 sent out official invitations for a media event next week on March 2 in San Francisco, presumably to show off its second-generation iPad.

The iPad 2 will feature an upgraded display that will be feature improved anti-reflection capabilities, though not a higher pixel density. The new device is expected to be thinner and lighter with more RAM, a faster CPU, and improved graphics processing capabilities.

More than 60 percent of the first wave of iPad 2 shipments are expected to be 3G-capable models. Apple is expected to build 3G models with both GSM and CDMA cellular radios -- and perhaps even a "world mode" device that would support both technologies in one, appleinsider.com reported.

Late in October 2010, Orange Armenia started selling Apple iPad in Armenia. However, the sales have been suspended since November 2010, as the company negotiates the product price with Apple corporation.
