Not just one but 'several' anonymous sources have colluded to come up with the latest in iPad 3 speculation today, pegging the new Apple tablet's release date as February 2012.
Analyst Richard Gardner of Citi has penned a note based on these sources, saying that a new iPad with a higher resolution display is good to go.
"There do not appear to be any significant technical hurdles remaining," he wrote in a note, which should allay any fears of any white paint issues or battery draining bugs.
Theoretically, anyway
His elusive sources reckon the resolution of the iPad 3 will be double the resolution of the iPad 2's.
Past rumours have indicated this super-high-res display has proven problematic, giving Apple headaches over backlighting and potentially even adding a bit of extra bulk to the currently-slim slate.
The timing isn't far off; Apple launched the iPad in January 2010 and the iPad 2 in March 2011, so February 2012 for the iPad 3 seems feasible.
But with not much more to go on than the word of an analyst and his secret sources, we can't rate this rumour any higher than 'it's possible'.
