New report says Apple iPad 3 coming in March with LTE and HD screen

We have seen numerous reports about the Apple iPad 3, mostly relating to its display and launch date. Now, Bloomberg is reporting that a trio of unnamed sources have told them that the third-generation Apple tablet will be hitting the market in March. Production is ramping up now and is expected to peak sometime next month.

According to Bloomberg's sources, the Apple iPad 3 will have an HD display, LTE connectivity and a quad-core processor. Just the other day, we told you that brokerage house Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Hubert had returned from a trip to Asia and told her clients that the Apple iPad 3 would launch in the first half of the year with a HD display. The latest speculation has Apple no longer using the Sharp IGZO display with reports saying that Sharp's screen failed to pass Apple's approval process. LG and Samsung are now expected to provide the Cupertino based firm with the panels for the Apple iPad 3.
