iPad 2 & iOS 4.3 to be simultaneously released on February 9

Are we just a couple of days away from the official launch of the Apple iPad 2 and the iOS 4.3 final version? Is February 9th indeed the big day when Apple will pull the cover off of its iPad 2? It is hard to believe that we are already so close to the event, but knowing Apple and how they love to steal the spotlight (or ruin the event, depends on the way you see it)from every major launch event, this could be well true.

We are tempted to go along with the date simply because the Mobile World Congress is only a few days after that and if the iPad 2 and iOS 4.3 come before the event and the White iPhone after the event, very little that is unraveled during the MWC could stay as the main attraction long enough. Now we all know how much Steve Jobs loves to show the planet that Apple’s events are ‘The Events’ and everything else is second.
