Now that the all new Apple iPad 3 has a set release date of early March, the question now is will it be ethically produced by Chinese factory workers at places like Foxconn. Reports of poor working conditions in Chinese factories that make the $500 or more iPad, have forced Apple to confront the possibility it may have to intervene or at least make an effort to investigate the charges.

Apple has reportedly chosen the first week of March 2012 to introduce its next-generation iPad, the iPad 3. Sources said the Cupertino, Calif.-based company will hold its iPad 3 event in San Francisco, presumably at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

It’s no secret that mobile applications have made everyday life easier and more convenient. Commuters can check their train schedules on the go, teens can play word games against opponents across the country, and bloggers can post updates on social media sites in a second.
