The iPad 3 Release Date
The latest Apple tablet on the market, the iPad 2, came with many
surprises as well as disappointments. One of the features fans were
hoping for was the retina display that is currently on the Apple iPhone
4. If you bought the iPad 2 you may be regretting the purchase,
especially if you had already owned the original iPad released because
it was more of an evolution than a revolution.
Rumors have been swirling across the web and kept fans buzzing about a
probable release date and the upcoming specs of the iPad 3 which is
supposed to really be substantially upgraded from both the iPad and iPad
2. One of the most prominent features that fans are hoping for is
indeed the retina display because that beautiful rich screen of the
iPhone 4 would look even more amazing on the larger iPad 3 display.
Apple follower and blogger John Gruber was largely responsible for the
rumors that kicked off about the iPad 3 even before the iPad 2 had hit
store shelves back in March. Recently LG and Gruber have offered up some
hints towards the iPad 3 including the coveted retina display. It's
your choice who to believe but since LG currently manufactures for
Apple, you may want to give them more weight for their insight.
LG CEO Young Soo Kwon hinted towards the inclusion of the retina display
when he stated: "more smartphone manufacturers will release new models
employing LG's Retina Display that has been used in iPhones and iPads."
It looks like Mr. Kwon may have slipped here because there is currently
no retina display in an iPad, however the iPad 3 is likely in the
pipeline for research and development. It's a safe bet to say that it is
probably more towards the development phase however.
Kwon's statement was heard during an interview with Korean Times. If
you've been waiting for retina display on the large iPad 3 screen that
should come with a plethora of other sought after features then you may
be in luck. It looks like this screen will be making its way into the
bezel of the latest Apple tablet, whose release date is still unknown at
this time.
Further strengthening this rumor is the fact that Samsung and Apple are
currently still embroiled in a legal battle that just won't reach a
final deal or agreement. Apple called foul once long time partner
Samsung released the Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets, claiming
that they were way too similar to Apple devices. LG would be the perfect
manufacturer to step up and engineer a higher resolution capability
retina display for the iPad 3. The current rumored display is topping
2048 x 1536 pixels! If some of the other rumors setting the web abuzz
come true; then the iPad 3 is certainly going to be worth every cent.
Recent prototypes show an iPad 3 with a curved back and somewhat of an
evolution from the look of the iPhone 4. It is depicted to be slimmer
and gives it that pro-effect that we were all hoping for with the iPad
2. Delays and other insider problems were blamed for a lot of features
not making it into the iPad 2, leaving them to be held off on and
further developed into the Apple iPad 3.
