Apple launch events send the media and Apple lovers into a wild-eyed frenzy. No other company seems to have the same type of rock-star effect the Cupertino-based tech giant’s launches have.

Rumours have been dogging Apple enthusiasts for months now. Will the new iPad have Retina Display and LTE? What is in store for iOS 5.1? What is the Fate of Apple TV? We’ve already reported extensively on the iPad 3 and what to expect regarding any new hardware, we now leave it up to Apple to reveal the gooey, tech goodness.

No ad to show here.

At 8PM in South Africa (and 10AM at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco where the event takes place) the new iPad, and possibly more, will be revealed. Follow Gearburn and tune in at 8PM tonight as we live blog this crazy-exciting event.
