Rumor: iPad 2 to get preview next week

We know that iOS 4.3 is very close to shipping already, and we know that Apple has publicly stated while at The Daily press event that they have an announcement planned in the near-future. For most, that meant that Apple will have an announcement about iOS 4.3. For some, that means “One More Thing.”

According to Macnotes, Apple will be showing off the iPad 2 as a nice little “One More Thing” during the iOS 4.3 announcement. According to a Macnotes contact, Apple plans to unleash the iPad 2 at the same event. Macnotes also expects the iPad 2 to ship between April 2nd and 9th.

They also believe that the image above is the actual iPad 2, or at least something very similar to what will be announced.

We’d just like to ask, where are the press invites?  It’s almost midweek.  If Pogue and Mossberg think we’ll see something on the 13th (a Sunday no less), surely we’ll be seeing invites in the immediate future. Right?
