iPad 3 specification, display leaked - screen resolution double of iPad 2

Around three weeks remain for iPad 3 to land the tech market. It's iPad 3 obviously flying high and at the peak of all tech gossips, rumors and expectations. Everybody is so anxious to know what the specifications, features are going to be in iPad 3. Is it really worth to be gaining more popularity than iPhone 5?

It's March 7 that we are going to find what and how iPad 3 would actually be if the reported announcements are to be followed. iPad 3 is in everyone's radar that leaks and scoops on specifications are expected to come out. The most recent one is a “confirmation” from MacRumors that the screen resolution of the iPad 3 will indeed be twice that of the iPad 2.

MacRumors has somehow obtained one of the OEM LCD screen displays supposedly used in the production of the upcoming iteration of Apple’s bestselling tablet. Although the display couldn’t be powered on, a close examination through a microscope and a side-by-side comparison with an iPad 2 display confirmed what many speculators have long agreed upon regarding the iPad 3′s resolution.

The iPad 3 is "confirmed" to have a screen resolution that is twice that of the iPad 2.

The new display showed visible clusters of 4×4 pixels, as opposed to the groupings of 2×2 pixels found on the iPad 2. This finding amounts to a linear resolution of 2048×1536, twice the 1024×768 resolution of both the iPad 1 and iPad 2. This also qualifies the iPad 3 for the Retina display designation, which Apple reserves for screen densities that render the individual pixels invisible from a normal viewing distance, e.g. the iPhone 4’s display. And for developers, this means having to double the resolution of the graphics of their iPad apps, pronto.

The iPad 3 is also rumored to have a high-speed A6 processor, with the cellular-enabled models said to support LTE technology. With its Retina display now all but confirmed, are you still on the fence about getting an iPad 3? Or are you already preparing to camp outside an Apple Store while waiting for its release?
