Apple Ipad 3 will appear in 2012 with a retina display
MAKER OF IGADGETS Apple's next generation Ipad tablet will tip up early next year with a super high resolution display.
The cappuccino company is apparently working with component suppliers and an assembler in Asia to get prototype production started on the Ipad 3 in October, according to The Wall Street Journal. Apple apparently has lined up orders for pivotal components including chips and displays.
Suppliers have said the screen will be 9.7in, the same as both the Ipad and Ipad 2. The big difference will be the quality of the display, which is said to be 2048x1536 resolution, four times that of the previous 1024x768.
An order of 1.5 million Ipad 3 units for the fourth quarter has been placed with one unknown component supplier and Apple's suppliers have already shipped a few components for sampling the Ipad 3.
A person at one supplier said, "Suppliers will ramp up production and try to improve the yield rate for the new iPad in the fourth quarter before its official launch in early 2012,"
As for the Iphone 5, well, it's still just various rumours saying all sorts of things about when it will tip up and what improvements it will bring. The last we heard was that it could be delayed until March of next year instead of arriving next month. µ

Come on guys, you have to remember that the vertical and horizontal pixels have doubled, which gives you a 4x doubling of total pixels:
1024*2=2048
768 *2=1536
1024*768 =786,432 pixels
2048*1536=3,227,648 pixels
786,432*4=3,145,728 pixels
So you can see that it is almost 4 times the number of pixels.
BORING! ipad, you mean people still use this garbage? move on already...

People have been commenting on the maths on here being off (which it is), what they haven't noticed so much is the actual resolutions they're talking about! 2048x1576 is kinda pointless on a screen thats only 9.7 inches big! The best part of a screen of that resolution is it looks good for sales, even if it doesn't offer much else. Its true that it will look better, but that all depends on the technology behind the screen and the response time. Having the wrong technology you won't get anywhere near the full benefit of such a high 'transparent' resolution, and its most likely proof that the intention is purely that of marketing.
"It's so easy to get you all to bite on this site, even an obviously inaccurate comment like my first has been a success."
You succeeded in failing, hooray for you?
The dpi of the Ipad2 = (1024*1024+768*768)^0.5/9.7 =131 dpi
The higher resolution would give dpi of
(2048*2048+1576*1576)^0.5/9.7 = 266 dpi
N smith isnt that far off. Resolution is a measure of pixel density, expressed in dpi or ppi. Thats "only" doubling.
What is quadrupling is the number or pixels, aka pixel dimension. I realize the word resolution is used for pixel dimension that all the time, but its still incorrect.

"multiplication can be difficult at times"
There's an app for that!
Unfortunately, some morons can't even get themselves as far as the app, let alone the answer.
Hey, Smithy! Don't forget to wash your hands on the way out.
Ridiculous little toys carried around like a security blanket, an electronic nanny for ninnies to consult.
It Perfectly Amuses Dolts.
Had you actually done the math you would know that the stated resolution increase is indeed 4x the current resolution.
1024 x 768 = 786432
2048 x 1536 = 3145728
786432 x 4 = 3145728
I know that multiplication can be difficult at times. However, there is a very nifty new device called a calculator that I have found to be quite helpful.
ROTFL! What a thicko. I don't doubt for one second that you racked up eight A* qualifications at school within the last few years.
You should audition for a prominent role in the forthcoming Idiocracy sequel. (A sequel is a follow-on from a prior work.)
Still, without good little consumers like you, retailers wouldn't make such high profits from ludicrous claims and false benchmark figures that hoodwink you every time. Well done, you.
If the pixel density doubles in both width and height, you have 4x the screen pixel density. This isn't exactly rocket science......
To N Smith:
Hey genius, here's a quick basic geometry question: How do you calculate the area a screen?
Do the math!!!
2048*1576 is exactly 4 timer bigger than 1024*768
Chris, is it just my rubbish math skills or is 2048x1536 not double 1024x768. I don't know where you got four times the resolution from.
