iPad 2 Announcement Coming 9th February

As the iPad 2 gets closer to the "rumored launch", we are now hearing that Apple [AAPL] might be announcing it on February 9th.

Reasons for this are a little different than you'd probably expect. The normal route is that we hear a conference center has been booked out by Apple and then a cryptic invite arrives shortly after. This time, it's related to the press images used that show the original iPad, and some images found in iOS 4.3.

The original press images show a calendar date as 27 January which was the date the first iPad was introduced last year. In the new iOS 4.3 beta that just arrived, a screen shot of the iPad is available (for wallpaper purposes) that shows a date of the 9th February.

As we say, it's an unusual way of looking in to things but it's certainly a possibility that we'll get the new announcement on or around the 9th Feb ready for an April 2011 rumored launch date.

We'll post more details when we hear them.
