Claimed iPad 3 Parts Continue to Leak as Rumored Release Draws Closer

Wayfarer said:
First the iPhone 5 alleged parts, now THIS!

They all look the same to me. :confused:

Did anybody notice that if one adds up all the visible numbers, multiplies them by 912 and takes the square root the result is :

666

Coincidence? I don't think so!
 
It could mean they have moved the dock connector to the long side. It makes more sense to have the screen horizontal when docked.

This also makes it possible to attach the iPad to a smart-cover with built-in keyboard, turning your iPad into a notebook.

You know how much of a disappointment this is going to be if it does not have the rumoured new screen.

The 2048x1536 screen res has been hyped up so much now, I do hope it's a reality.

I love my iPad but I would only upgrade if it had a retina display because right now the iPad meets all of my needs. But the 9.7" screen would look fantastic with such a hi res.

I will only be disappointed if they add this screen without hella better brightness so I can use it outside etc. and hopefully with a side announcement of new 1080p movie and tv files in the iTunes store.

But are they really selling that much. Without tons of returns

And are these really sales or Samsung counting the 'sales' to the resellers
 
I wonder how many of these "leaked" new parts are part of the well working Apple campaigns.

Grape Vine campaigns instead of Grass Roots.
 
I hear it is going to be thicker so that they can add another light bar. I thought it was bright enough already ...

Brightness is a bitch. Granted, you can go RGBW to boost the brightness artificially, but I'm not sure how that affects readability. Further, while development of anti-glare coating shows promise, i dont think adequate products are ready for prime-time. Thus, you'll end up with somewhat of a trade-off glare vs. clarity wise, since anti coatings have a tendency to create granular experiences (Cf. Dell uSeries). That said, from what i've read Samsung have been able to solve some of these issues on their new PLS devices, but i have yet to see it for myself. Further, if I'm not mistaken its more of a middle ground between the Apple (clear, glossy) and Dell approaches (granular, matt).

Personally, I'm most excited with the development of e-ink. In the near future we'll certainly have color e-ink capable of displaying video. Add to that development in low-power clear-film lighting and we might have something juicy coming up.

Yes yes yes! Color eInk would be awsome! I have a kindle 3 and I wouldn't trade it for anything, that eink is incredible. As they continue to improve its responsiveness and adding color, I think that's the way

Have a look see. Things are progressing nicely. Color e-ink capable of video have been out there for just about a year now. 2-3 more, and we should be closing in on prime time. Now that will be revolutionary!

edit: noticed there were no video in that,

older, and somewhat crappy. But mainly boils down to light. Low-po front lighting could take care of that. Better color filters too.

"a power button flex cable has also appeared" Means that it will be a lighter and slimmer iPad? I'm pretty sure that the iPad 3 will revolutionize the tablet industry with the new Retina display just as the iPhone 4 did when it was launched. Everyone wants a bigger resolution, and a new camera goes with the upgrades contrary to people saying that they must stick to the 1mp! :eek:
