Help please!
Hello!
I wonder why do we use sentence construction like that:"Apple's iPad to be released April 3"? Why wouldn't it be like "Apple's iPad will be released April 3"?
Thanks a lot.

Hi, I wonder why do we use sentence construction like that: "Apple's iPad to be released April 3 "? This is a headline, not a full sentence, which would be eg "Apple's iPad is to be released April 3" Why wouldn't it be like "Apple's iPad will be released April 3"? Both versions are correct English, with very similar meanings.

Hi,
i mean they're about to release their product that they've already had in the future.
As I said, I think you have the right idea.
But this sentence is not good. It contradicts itself.
