I'm not positive, but it looks a lot like RealRacing2HD - one of my 1.2 GB games. It's possible that it's a different game that I don't have though.
Got a tip for us?

The newly introduced iTextbooks are each 1+GB in size (some reaching 3.5GB), the high-end games are 1+GB in size. The "retina" versions of those will be even larger. The 16GB iPad with 5 digital textbooks and nothing else will be more than three quarters full. It would be very logical for Apple to raise the capacities to 32/64/128 GB.
"...Apple's work with a developer to spend a week's worth of 16-hour days at Apple headquarters porting an app to iOS in time for the company's September 2008 "Let's Rock" event, only to see Steve Jobs nix the demo over concerns that it wasn't "fast-paced" enough."
Because he was more concerned about how it ended up, not the effort that went into it - and rightly so, I would say.

They won't use a projector. They will AirPlay mirror it using the new 1080p supporting Apple TV 3 box that is releasing at the same time
on tv who knows.
IRL they have to use vetted apps with certain levels of security that include photos etc
The Maps app will look amazing on a retina iPad. Already looks good on iPhone, but the bigger screen will make a huge difference.
Also looking forward to using a VNC style app and having every pixel of my Mac's desktop displayed on an iPad.
One thing I've not seen mentioned in any rumours is if the cameras are getting upgraded.
At work, I use my iPad with the excellent Notability app for capturing meeting notes. As it stands the iPad 2's camera isn't good enough to take a detailed picture of a whiteboard, so I have to import photos from another source.

It seems to me you should boycott the applications that do not take advantage of the high res display and not the iPad itself. If I have an iPad 3 and am looking for a game to entertain myself and I have narrowed my choice to three, 2 of which are "low res" and the other "high res", I thinks it's obvious who gets the business. I'd rather spend $50 on a decent program than nothing on garbage.

Film and viewboxes are being frowned upon due to costs and chemicals. Today radiology is digitized and everything is sent to viewing stations for readings. Ipads are an evolutionary step for docs to see a patients film on a hospital floor over the network instead of going down to Radiology.
For a patient to get their films is easy.... just ask for a CD of your exam/scan to take to your referring physician. Upload the images to your laptop, etc and then to the iPad.
So it's your opinion that since they have a lot of money, they should waste it. I'm simply*saying, from the perspective of someone who sets up these kinds of shows on a daily basis, a setup that makes sense. Apple doesn't care how it gets done, only that it gets done. Apple doens't have an in-house staging company, so they're going to hire someone. The company that they hire is going to want to do this for as little money as possible in order to make the most profit. whatever company does it is almost certainly going to have a setup like i've described as it gives you the supposed native resolution of the iPad 3 without any scaling whatsoever.
This is true. Most medical imaging if not all is sent to VPN's. You would need to be granted access to get on. However, if you are the patient and just want your images, ask for a CD when you have a exam/scan done. Just don't ask me why there is a dark spot in the middle of your liver.... (Hint: It's your gallbladder silly) Let me know how the rest of your interpretations go...

This is true for me anyway. I packed my Kindle back in the box it came in. I do all my Kindle reading on the iPhone, MBA or PC where I work. Hopefully soon I'll be using an iPad 3 as well.
At the risk of going further off topic,the government FORCED banks to give loans to people who couldn't afford them,and if people sign a contract without understanding it it's their fault.It's called being a grownup,something that is going out of style rapidly I'm afraid.
Am I the only one who visit's this site and is either
A) outside the USA, and thus the vast majority of streaming services
B) Understands that there are only 3 countries served by Netflix, and that Spotify is only available in Europe and the US?
A 128GB variant of the iPad would be a welcome addition, given the increasing size of the content being released for it. The vast majority of Apples customers have no way of getting content on their devices without having it on there "physically".
Other than that, I can't wait for the announcement. One 128GB iPad 3 in White please!

You set up shows for 10s of millions of customers on a daily basis? I'm impressed! Or skeptical, one or the other. Probably I'm skeptical. Neither do I, but I'm thinking a tiny bit better spread over a huge audience isn't a waste.
No, but I set up shows in a 140,000 square foot exhibit hall. I'm telling you exactly what whatever production company they hire will do. You can take that to the bank.
It probably would do for most companies, but the control freaks at Apple are famously obsessive about giving perfect presentations. Yes, 140,000 sq ft is a large exhibit hall, but Apple is in a whole different league. Maybe the 4 projector setup you described is what Apple has used before, I don't know. But Apple is not going to let an outside production company do anything without nitpicking the thing to death (assuming they even need to hire one). If they need to waste some money to make it look good: they will, and you can take that to the bank.
But whatever, this is kind of a silly argument.
So what's wrong with 4K projectors used in digital cinema from e.g. Sony?
With native resolutions of 4096 x 2160 it should handle a retina iPad just fine.
Curious what they'll use to connect it though. Will HDMI out now support all that resolution?
There's nothing wrong with them, but Apple is going to hire, or most likely has a production company they always hire to do all their shows. This production company is not going to have a 4k projector in house. Now, if I'm the manager of that company, why am I going to try and track down a $100k and pay some ungodly rental fee when I already have the R10's in house? Yes, the Sony projector is very nice, but it is needless overkill on the job. And don't point me to the Sony 4k home projectors, they're note nearly bright enough for a show like that. Even the one I mentioned that runs a hundred grand is only 11k lumens. The Barco is 10k, and when you rig up four of them, you get the rough equivalent of about ~32k lumens if my math serves this early in the morning.
It's great to use the latest technology, god knows I try to every change I get, but trust me when I tell you, there is no production company out there that is going to use a needlessly expensive, inferior for the purposes, projector in place of a tried and true method that costs less and delivers the necessary results.
In answer to you HDMI question, No. HDMI supports only up to 1440p, and that is just south of what the iPad 3's vertical resolution would be. I can't for the life of me remember what the name of that product I used to project on that 80' wide screen was, but they'll likely use something similar. It takes a higher resolution image and breaks it apart into smaller sections for individual projectors. Most likely that signal will be sent to the projector via low-loss 5-wire video cable. Ironically, the 5-wire is like VGA, but it affords longer runs of video than DVI or HDMI and it's heavily shielded so you don't get interference.

But it's also 4x more likely to break and must be a tough job getting all of them to match colour/brightness/etc exactly?
Companies like RED hire such 4K projectors, can't see why Apple would be any different. Given Apple have such a foothold on movie/video they may even have purchased one already.
Sorry, can't really see the issue being the cost, but I'll leave the implementation details to the pros.
Actually HDMI 1.4 supports 4K resolutions already, I was just wondering if we'll see that supported via the standard HDMI dongle.
It's actually GT Racing: Motor Academy HD. I'll grab it tonight. It looks excellent.
Speaking of the cost, If I was bidding a show for Apple, and I could chose to use something that cost 15 grand, or something that cost 5 grand, but I wasn't going to get any more money if I chose the more expensive thing, econ 101 would dictate that I use the less expensive option.
So how do you read your e-ink reader or book at night? With a book lamp? That would definitely cause eye strain!
I read almost every night on my iPad 1, and during the day even more, and I don't have the eye strain you mention. Maybe you need glasses.
Now I can definitely conclude that you have no idea on what you are talking about, nor understand the purpose of a retina display.
Sorry to say this, but you are completely lost. Don't forget to get a copy of "iPad 3 for Dummies" when it comes out. It will surely clarify this for you and those who think like you about screen resolutions.
