News@8pm: iPad 2 release date and Android 3.0 SDK

News@8pm: iPad 2 release date and Android 3.0 SDK

Welcome to your nightly round-up of the day's news and goings on courtesy of T3.com

iPad 2 release date confirmation finally arrived today in the shape of an official invite which popped in the T3 inbox earlier today. It had initially been suggested that the iPad would be delayed until June or would match the release date of the BlackBerry Playbook, but it appears we can put that down to some bad rumour-mongering. You can find out when we will get to see the new iPad and where the event will take place here.

Apple is also in the headlines with talk that iTunes is set to get high quality downloads, while speculation suggests that OS X Lion could receive a major overhaul.

Angry Birds in the headlines? Well we shouldn’t be surprised these days, but it seems the colossal mobile gaming hit is set to hit Android in March in paid-for form, minus those pesky ads.
