Honolulu K-12 school announced all of their students will get an iPad 3 (prior to any iPad 3 announcement)

My local newspaper ran a story today that a local private school is giving all of their students iPads. This is not too surprising except the article specifically says they will be iPad 3 devices: In the 2012-13 school year, the private school will launch a program giving each student in grades 3 through 12 use of anApple iPad3.

Mid-Pacific to integrate iPad use throughout school’s curriculum

This could simply be:

1. A typo
2. A reasonable assumption
3. Or the school actually has gotten briefed on the iPad 3 which at this point in time has not been announced by Apple
