March is upon us, and that means we're gearing up to do live coverage of Apple's latest media event in San Francisco. What's expected out of this event? Apple hinted heavily in its invitation that some new iPad news is on the way, and many believe the company plans to release an updated version of its iOS tablet. Whether that updated version will be a major makeover or a speed bump in the same package is up for debate, though. Apple is said to be adding a front- and rear-facing camera to the device for use with FaceTime. It will also likely be thinner and lighter.

This is the time of year Apple usually gives the press a sneak peek into the next major version of iOS, so we're keeping our fingers crossed for new details on the software front.

Whatever ends up happening, Senior Apple Editor Jacqui Cheng will be on the scene to bring you the updates as they happen. The event is set to take place at 10am PST (GMT-0800) on Wednesday March 2, 2011 (see it in your timezone).
