DO you think it will be redesigned to be thinner and lighter?
It's waaaaay to early to worry about the iPad 3 specs!![]()

Taiwan-based component makers for backlight modules and light bars have received certification from Apple, however, the certification of panels is still in progress, added industry sources.
Digitimes reports that Apple has begun certifying components for the iPad 3 with many Taiwan-based manufacturers actively participating.While there has been talk about Apple considering the use of OLED panels for the next iPad, Digitimes' sources believe that this is unlikely with the iPad 3 and that the next generation iPad will use 9.7" LCD panels.
The timing of the launch for the iPad 3 is in 2012 according to the component makers.

Many Honeycomb tablets should be quad core before the end of this year.
The most likely change is a switch to a higher resolution display. 1280x960 in a 9.7" form factor wouldn't surprise me.
The only other improvement that would get me to replace my iPad2 would be lighter weight.
Backlight? Wtf? Aren't all iPad lcds LEDs? Why would they need backlight?
LED Backlight. And Side lit, from one edge I believe, though I could be wrong about that bit, I've not seen the actual screen being stripped down.
People should really move on from usb, hdmi, etc. I don't miss those ports and I use my iPad 2 for Work, School, Facetime with my family and friends, almost EVERYTHING! (Except playing Portal and Wow)![]()

The iPad 3 will be the same as the 2, it will just come with a new improved non-bleed screen. I still don't have an iP2 after returning three of them for ugly streaks that made movie watching an ugly affair. Come on Apple. Love the product, fix the execution before even thinking about putting out the new one.
The iPad 2 is an amazing product that has almost completely satiated my tablet needs. The only feature that could make me upgrade this time is a retina display while maintaining the $499 price point.
Hmmmm... Isn't the backlight the LEDs themselves incorporated as pixels on the screen?
I'm not sure I'd want it to be much thinner. It would probably be uncomfortable to hold.The iPad has the perfect shape right now, IMO. Lighter might be nice though.
