It’s coming! And it’s coming soon.

"Sources say [Apple] 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," reports John Paczkowski at All Things D, continuing, "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."

The article adds, "As for the next-generation iPad itself, sources say it will be pretty much what we’ve been led to expect by the innumerable reports leading up to its release: a device similar in form factor to the iPad 2, but running a much faster chip, sporting an improved graphics processing unit, and featuring a 2048×1536 Retina Display — or something close to it."
