But what if they have something even more startling to announce?
"We believe there could be one or two surprises at the Apple March 7th event," Jefferies analyst Peter Misek asserts in a research note issued late Thursday night. Parsing the language of Apple product launch invitations has become an intensive Kremlinolgy-style exercise - and Misek is up to the challenge.
He thinks the "see and touch" reference is "very curious."
"We believe an iPad 3 with an HD screen, quad-core A6 processor and LTE-modem is almost certain," he writes. "Looking at the developer preview of iOS 5.1, we have found several curious references and extensions. We think an upgrade of the Apple TV set-top-box is possible as well as a remote chance for an iTV television set due to a reference to a large screen size. We do not expect an iTV until calendar Q4 but are open to the possibility that it could be pre-announced months in advance despite not having a finished product."
Seems like a long shot to me...but who knows?
