iPad 2 Screen Parts Circulating

So am I. And I also want an iPad 2. Do they have to be mutually exclusive?
And, we're also talking about leaks. Most women will tell you, when it comes to that time of the month, leaks associated with pads are really not a good thing...
Given the latest news about the Intel chip recall, I'm guessing any news that had been planned regarding Macs is going to be delayed for a while...
Samsung is struggling to produce enough for its own products. I'm sure I read a report on MR that suggested that Apple had considered Amoled for the iPad but discounted it because it didn't want to deal with inevitable production bottlenecks.
Apple ruined my eye sight with the iPhone 4.
Then again you may have ruined your eyesight due to a hobby you picked up going into adolescence.
I honestly do not think the iPad 2 will impress most people in terms of its display. I'll wait for the iPad 3!
I don't see it becoming an incrementally updated product. I don't think it will be just as easy to update it frequently as it is with eg. an iMac, due to the much smaller formfactor. Furthermore I think that
like the "annual-thing" because it translate into an incredible amount of hype.
Can't they just put both screens under microscopes with a light behind each one and see if there are more pixels in the iPad 2?!
True, but then they might use a similar manufacturing process to that of the iPhone 4, in which case they will laminate the glass directly onto the display.. so you could consider it part of the display component.
Incidently, I love this feature of the iPhone 4 - no more little specks working their way in between the display and the glass..hurrah!
Yep. But i wondered if iPad 2 was getting it's screen glued to the glass just as iPhone 4s is. No one has mentioned if that panel actually has glass attached, or if that's something we haven't seen yet.
Yeah I was thinking that. But if you think about it, the screen component would then be the basic shape of the iPad. It would need to have a little whole for the home button too ( if indeed the iPad 2 has one
)

In the photos on 9to5mac the LCD on the 'iPad 2' screen looks noticeably darker to the original iPad, similar to how the iPhone 4's LCD was darker than the 3Gs

a while being a few weeks at most, intel already has rectified it and started producing the "working" chips.
Jeez you people have no idea what is really going on with the Intel stuff.
It's not the chips that were faulty, it was the chipsets that were faulty. Actually a single part in particular, the SATA II controller included with the chipset. The SATA III controller remains unaffected and will never have issues.
Considering that Apple generally only uses one SATA controller for their laptops (even the iMacs only have two, maybe three SATA devices in them) there is no way that this chipset issue will impact Apple. The only thing this might impact is the next Mac Pro, but that isn't true because the Xeon stuff isn't even out yet and won't be a part of this either.
The Macrumors article posted the other day about it was really vague and people didn't know what it was about. The fact is that Apple is not delayed at all by this issue, and intel has not stopped making Sandy Bridge chips, but they have recalled all motherboards that use any of the chipsets with the problematic SATA II controller. The chipset that Apple uses is not even going to be a part of this unless Apple chooses one with a SATA II controller for some reason.
