It’s Official: Apple to Unveil iPad 2 on March 2nd

The rumors that started yesterday about Apple holding an iPad 2 event on March 2nd are true. This morning Apple sent out invites to ”come see what 2011 will be the year of”.

The invitation (pictured) features a large 2 with the calendar page pulled back just enough to give a glimpse of what could be the next iPad. Some have noted that the page is not pulled back far enough to show the facetime camera which we are certain will be on iPad 2.

It is also interesting to note that Apple decided to hold an event releasing iPad 2 on the second day of March. Coincidence or clever marketing? We believe the latter. Now that we know when the second generation iPad will officially be revealed, we will wait patiently and hope Steve Jobs is able to make the announcement.

The event will be held at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10:00 am. Apple has used this venue to introduce a number of products in recent years including the first generation iPad.

Are you planning on getting the second generation iPad?

Google Wants to Plan Your Wedding

Google is taking on an unlikely role: wedding planner.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Google has rolled out a dedicated site where consumers can create a wedding website, edit photos and plan their wedding using wedding-specific templates in Google Sites, Google Docs and Picnik. The company announced the move today on its official Google blog.

Google teamed up with wedding planner Michelle Rago for the templates, and Rago also provides tips to the soon-to-be-betrothed. To spread the word, Google is also hosting a wedding sweepstakes offering a prize of $25,000 and the chance to get Rago to help plan your wedding. ( There are more than 20 wedding templates that can help track the event budget, collect addresses for invitations and compare vendors, the Internet company said.)

The site is the latest attempt by Google to insinuate itself into consumers’ lifestyles. In 2008, Google launched Google Health, which is designed to let users organize, monitor, track and use health information on the site. But there’s a thin line between providing helpful information and invading privacy: In 2009, Google Health partnered with CVS to provide patients online access to their prescription drug history via their Google Health accounts, raising issues about Google’s access to sensitive personal information.
