This has been a hot topic of discussion, as the iPad 2 should be coming shortly, and many of us are wondering if there will be an upgraded screen resolution. PC World has been reporting on the topic and says that IDC analyst, Tom Mainelli, commented that Apple will indeed bring Retina displays to the iPad, but not until about 2012, meaning that this would be possibly for the 3rd Generation iPad and not the iPad 2.

"I think the Digitimes story probably got the resolution right, but the iPad version wrong," Mainelli told PCWorld via e-mail. "Our sources say Apple has requested that manufacturers begin work on displays with that resolution for the iPad 3.

iPad 3? What? Come on, the second iteration hasn't even set foot out the door into retail yet. In fact, it hasn't been even announced yet. Besides, retina display should have been on the first one to start with if not the upcoming iPad 2.

Like i always say don't think that because a technology exists that Apple is gonna use it, they deliberately hold back features to make the next model look better so people are more likely to upgrade, it's a business strategy that means Steve Jobs has enough money to do a Scrooge Mcduck and do a backstroke through his money.
