A new report says Apple plans to unveil a new iPad early next month. According to AllThingsD, a website affiliated with The Wall Street Journal, Apple is holding an event in San Francisco the first week of March. Apple declined comment.

Rumors have been circulating for weeks about the next iPad, with many claiming that Apple's next tablet will boast several changes, such as a quad-core processor to a higher-resolution screen. Rumors say that this screen would be no other than a Retina display, similar to the one used by iPhone 4s. However, an iPad with a screen similar to the Retina display on the iPhone would have to have a resolution of approximately 3,220-by-2,060 pixels (!). Regarding the processor, it is more reasonable for Apple to avoid using a quad-core chip instead of a dual-core system-on-a-chip, in order to save batery life.

Siri is also possible to find its way to the new iPad.
