In only a few hours, Apple execs take the stage in San Francisco to unveil it’s newest addition to the Apple tablet family.

Taking place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST the unveiling event will put to rest all the rumors regarding Apple’s newest tablet — hitting store shelves later this month.

The iPad 3 (which could very well be called an iPad 2S) is rumored to feature a Retina display, which Apple defines as a “pixel density is so high your eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels.” The iPhone and iPod Touch have Retina displays, and the iPad is expected to join those two with this upgrade, doubling the resolution and ultimately making it a really cool viewing experience.
