Apple is reportedly set to announce the iPad 3 in the first week of March, according to the typically accurate AllThingsD.

Sources say the company has chosen the first week in March to debut the successor to the iPad 2, and will do so at one of its trademark special events. The event will be held in San Francisco, presumably at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Apple's preferred location for big announcements like these. No word yet on a street date for the iPad 3 (assuming that's what it's called), though my guess is retail availability will follow roughly the same schedule as that of the iPad 2: Available for purchase a week or so after the event.

The site says the new device will feature a much faster chip, sport an improved graphics processing unit, and feature a 2048×1536 Retina Display - or something close to it.
