iPad 3 to have a 2048x1536 resolution screen?!
nstgc:
I just came across this and I was thinking "bullshit, there is no way".
Firstly, that's excessive. Secondly, the GPU would have to be much more powerful. Thirdly, I can't see tablets, which are suppose to be stripped down computers, having a better display than a real computer. Fourthly, from a sales perspective it seems wise to step up to maintain stable sales (this would boost the resolution by 300%).
Larger yes, that much larger, no way in hell.

That resolution for a tablet is pointless. While it looks kinda OK on my 21" monitor, even with the higher resolution you will not be able to fit more icons or text in the ipad screen because then you would need a magnifying glass to read it.
Of course, being pointless from a technological viewpoint, it can still be useful for advertising, even though there will be no difference in actual use at all.
xShadow:
That's just silly. I would think that LCD monitors using that resolution would be around 25-30 inches (just a blind estimate). No one's going to get any use out of a monitor that's like what... 8-9 inches (again, blind estimate), and running on that resolution. You would have to zoom in to see anything, which completely defeats the point.
Not that I ever saw any use for an iPad anyway. One of the friends I study with here has one of them. It's an interesting contraption, but not something I would spend any money on. I would rather have a small netbook.
Where did you find this information at anyway?

Either that's a really weird link, or voting made the link go wonky...
Sosseres:
The link seems to be wrong.
