With the unveiling of the Apple iPad 3 being just hours away, we though it might be interesting if we take a quick look at the cool iPad 3 concepts that we've seen prior to this very day. Of course, what we're dealing with here are just some concepts designed by fans, so it's perfectly normal that there is a number of some quite futuristic features that will surely not happen... in the next 20 years or so.
Anyways, such concepts are always fun to see, so just go ahead and check them out using the gallery below! And of course, don't forget that we'll be covering tonight's unveiling of the real iPad 3, so stay tuned!

iPad 3 concept designs
2. iPad 3 with curved glass-back
This iPad 3 concept focuses more on the specs side of things, featuring a Retina display, HD front-facing camera, as well as a 5MP rear camera with flash, and a very thin, 0.29-inch profile. The highlight feature here is the curved back side, made of glass, similarly to what we have with the iPhone 4S and 4.
3. iPad 3 with Mac OS X
Although it's more than unlikely, the thought of having an iPad with a full-fledged desktop OS like Mac OS X is really appealing to us. Yeah, we're not sure just how user-friendly that would be, but hey - it's Mac OS on a tablet! With a DVD drive! We can imagine it also has a full-sized USB port... and a floppy drive, maybe?
4. iPad 3D
This iPad 3 concept is centered around the idea of a glasses-free 3D screen. The cool thing here is that not only will the user be able to watch 3D video, but the whole interface will kind of suck the user into its three-dimensional reality. Yeah, right...
6. iPad 3 with Mac OS X #2
Another Mac OS-running iPad 3! This time, we obviously have a wide screen and an all-silver body to complement the desktop OS. Unfortunately, it's not mentioned if "silver" here stands for "silver color" or "silver material".
7. The iPad Pro
Every once in a while, a company comes up with something revolutionary... and that's probably because companies are smart enough to stay away from such insane concepts. What we're looking at here is a 24" 10000x8000-pixel display, 100 terabytes of optical video RAM, complemented by a 4095 terabytes of light-speed RAM disk. Battery life with this revolutionary device is said to be 300 hours, with a recharge time of 5 minutes, which, however, does seem like a bit too much waiting to us...
8. iPad 3 for photographers
Well, if the first iPad seemed like a giant iPod touch, then this iPad 3 concept sure does look like a giant iPhone 4S, due to its flat glass front and back sides. The interesting thing about it is that it features some quite big cameras (obviously the author wasn't content with the performance of the iPad 2's 0.7MP shooter), as well as homescreen widgets. Yay! The latter sounds pretty cool to us, though not really probable.
9. iPad 3 a la iPhone 2G
We couldn't help it but feature this concept as well. One of our favorites! Check this out - it has a wide screen, thick profile in order to accommodate a full-sized USB port, as well as some other unneeded stuff, and it also runs a version of Mac OS X. As it's popular to say right now - shut up and take our money!
