iPad 3 – Comics and Gambling

Apple has an event scheduled for March 7 in San Francisco. Everyone is banking on the iPad 3 being announced, and boy will people be pissed off when they simply talk about the new colours you can get the iPod Nano in. Rainbows! Here in England, you can bet on practically anything, which makes life worth living. Yesterday, I bet on the Alley Cat to steal food from the bum, and he did not let me down! All of this is to say that you can bet on specs of the iPad 3, courtesy of Sky Sports (via Mac Rumors). Check out some of the bets below. I’m liking the odds on No for the iPad 2S name….take it to the bank, with another Alley Cat victory!

In addition to betting, there are also spoofs of what will be featured. Below is a comic by joyoftech.com which pretty much mocks the rumours and fortunes of Apple (via AllThingsD). Actually, they claim to be “facts”, so be amazed if they actually come through. Or use these facts to place some bets on the wagers above.
