The new iPad 2 will quadruple resolution, but fall short of being a Retina display

Isn't it possible that those ibook apps are actually for the upcoming new gen Macbook pro and new gen Imac?
Such a high Resolution display will for sure make the Ipad 2 VERY expenisve...
I believe it would increase, but by SOOOO much.

Apple depends on a lot manufacturers. Will LG deliver the screens Apple ask for? NVidia will probably deliver a tegra 2 in disguise. At least Samsung makes his own products.

That resolution is insane. What is even the point of having such a high resolution?

What's the point of 1920x1080 on a monitor? The point is a clearer display.

it's ok if monitors have that kind of resolution, but who the HELL would want to look at 'sharp texts' that close on a tablet?!

Well, How can you dare to put this new?

It´s impossible...period.

You need almost the best current graphics card to move things at that resolution nowadays in desktops and you say Apple is going to make it in a tablet in a few months ?????

Please be more serious and think twice before saying nonsense.

Ridiculous, you would need absolutely premium hardware and power. Battery life would suck, would be too expensive,

The res will be better than the old one but nit this high apple will wait a few years to put a retina on the iPad so that just like the iPod touch with it's camera scenario everyone will have an iPad by then and once they put the retina on it people will know the iPad love it and spend $1000 on it while sites like this one publish stories about the successor to it the day following it's release What can we do but follow the trend
I'm no better than anyone but it's apple no brainer strategy will that keep us all within it's grasp for many many years to come

Nobody thinks that the ipad 2 is obsolete already and it isn't even out?

Been Waiting for the iPad2 and this display really gets me excited. My eyes got tired trying to read on the current iPad. That being said, since I'm not an Apple guy I'm going to wait and check out the Moto Xoom before I will buy my next tablet.
