iPad 3 rumored to be released late 2011 with high resolution display

Undoubtedly the most pressing question on everyone's minds, when will the new iPad be coming out?

While speculators have been quick to point out that it is unlikely for Apple to push out a new iPad in the same year as iPad 2, an unnamed Apple insider has pointed out iPad 2 was a rush job and "the third generation iPad is the one to make a song and dance about."

A recent Reuters report has reported that the iPad3 is being schedule for a 2011 Q4 launch date with an image resolution 5-6 times sharper than the previous generation.(more on this below) This report has been echoed by The China Times, saying that there are rumors of a new iPad, with an improved display, being released in September 2011.

However, it was unsure if this refers to a new iPad3 or an upgraded version of the iPad2 - the iPad2 Plus. The report also points to the possibility of late November launch date to coincide with the Thanksgiving holidays.

Digitimes reported that upstream suppliers in Taiwan are gearing up production for a wave of new Apple devices. According to the report, sources have pointed out that iPad3 has been added to the production schedule with production volume picking up in October.

The speculations that the new iPad will include a higher-resolution display gained strength recently with Mac Rumors reporting that Apple is collaborating with Samsung and LG to develop a new LCD display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536, double that of the current generation of iPads.

Working out to be 260 pixels per inch on the new iPad, this display is not as high as the 'Retina' display that the current iPhone 4 boasts but it is an significant improvement over the current display found on iPad 2. This gives the new iPad better picture quality and density as compared to Apple's iPad 2.

"Apple's upcoming iPad 3 will feature an improved display to support quad extended graphics, a display resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio to provide a full high definition (HD) viewing experience," said a source close to the talks.

Apple has started quality testing the LCD displays produced by Samsung and LG. With Q4 of 2011 rolling round the corner, testing of these new display could be done at any moment, paving the way for the release of a new iPad in 2011.

There are also talks that the new high-def display is being developed for the rumored iPad HD or iPad Plus, claiming that a premium version of the iPad 2 will be released in time for the holidays.

On the other hand, Steve Jobs could just surprise all of us with a iPad 3 equipped with HD display come October.
