iFixit Takes a Closer Look at the 'iPad 3 Retina Display'

The post said he (you) wanted the iPhone to "revolutionize" or he (you) was going to buy an Android. It did not say he/you would like an improved iPhone. Hence my statement.
Are you saying I insulted someone? Because I find that insulting. Did you refer to my post as drivel? I believe that is a "slam" on me, correct? So by your definition, would someone please reprimand this person?
Of course I'm kidding. Free speech is valued above most other things in my mind so feel free to call me what you want or describe my posts in any way you see fit. I don't get insulted by comments on an anonymous forum.
Retina Display
If we need to revisit this issue; then I feel this article might help.

It really matters how close you are to the screen.
I would comment that I hold my iPad around the 12-18 inch mark.
We shall have to wait and see what we individually think; once a product with that screen resolution is released.

Actually he was much better in 2010 than 2009... in the September 2009 iPod event he was even weaker than when he was in WWDC 2011.
His cancer started to attack him again in late 2010... c.f the "back to the Mac" event in late 2010.

Besides very obvious design change, internally iPad to iPad 2 was a huge transition.
It's like from the 3GS to 4S.
The original iPad uses the A4 chip which is basically the same CPU as the 3GS (with higher clock speed) plus the same amount of RAM (256MB).
The iPad 2 has the same dual core A5 cpu as the iPhone 4S.
The 3GS didn't have the A4, the iPhone 4 did. I would say the original iPad is a "3GS v2" as it has the upgraded cpu but the same ram.
There has to be some workaround. Powering a display with a different connector doesn't seem like the hardest task in the world for people used to tinkering with that sort of thing. At least it doesn't seem like it should be impossible... then again, I know all of nothing about rigging electronics, so who knows.
Quoting is annoying, but what about her mouth? I got sick of her crooked mouth in the first iFixit video I watched. Prior to that time I only read the articles/manuals. Now I'm back to only articles/manuals...
It's plausible and nothing we didn't already know. I'm just waiting for capacity on March 7. I'm going to buy it ( Gave away my 2 to a buddy and am suffering a feeling of "somethings missing" )

Good question, not easy to answer.
In a sense yes the API supports the higher resolution. Drawing in iOS is with physical dimensions so text and vector drawing will benefit immediately. This means text will be far crisper and more detailed.
However as far as apps go, if they are made up of excessive numbers of bit maps it could take developers awhile to deliver viable updates. Bitmaps are tied to screen resolution and thus will suffer some on the high resolution screen.
So in the end it depends. It depends upon the app, some of which will need little updating. Others may need a major overhaul.
----------
First off the I/O on the connector pins is likely a secret right now so trying to connect it up to another port would be a waste of time. Why waste of time, because current iPads aren't capable of driving the screen. It isn't like hooking up an auto syncing monitor to a PC.
----------
It is after all nothing more than a case. As such it should concentrate on functionality and not the desires of tweakers.
As to the battery don't knock more capacity. You will want that capacity if you are a 4G user. That is if the the unit is actually thicker due to the battery.

Didn't realize I was replying to you! That's what I get for not reading user names I'm replying to. Didn't mean to refer to you in the third person. I always enjoy your videos, and had no problem with your delivery. You made a point of being very tongue-in-cheek with your explicit rumor-stating.
(And now that I dig in through your profile here, I must say, cute kiddo you have!)
That's what it was originally. She's apparently old school, and good for her. The Facebook really went downhill since those good old days.
Well you must have way more money than I do, and I do fairly well for myself. I switch out every couple of years because otherwise it would cost to much.
Could have been better...
I was hoping to see Technology Hump... oh well maybe when the real iPad 3 comes out...

I thought the I fixit team had more skills. A real electronics tech would have found a way to make it work. lol
I don't get why some of you are going all gaga over girl in the video. Judging from the ring on her finger, she appears to be already taken and she is a "geek". Her mannerisms and appearance is very geeky.
I would get really annoyed by her voice pretty quickly.

WTH would Jerry Rigged mean?
You can rig a JURY by paying them off ETC ETC. Do you pay off a JERRY making a Jerry Rigged?
You southerners!
