iPad 3 anyone?

Leaks from Asian sources have hinted that Apple's iPad 3 will arrive in Spring 2012 - and will have an all-new connector.

That could mean that the tablet is even slimmer than the barely-there iPad 2. It will also mean, though, that a lot of users could have to throw out add-ons such as iPad docks and keyboards.

The leak comes courtesy of tech site CNET, who report that an Asian source says the device will feature a slimmed down version of the current 24-pin connector.

The gadget will have the same size of screen as the current iPad 2 - which seems to run counter to earlier gossip about an iPad Mini designed to compete with the current crop of mid-sized Android devices from Samsung and Dell.
