If true, then I will finally buy the iPad 3 when it comes out as this is what I have been waiting for in a tablet since they originally were announced and the main reason I keep holding back on buying one.
The even cooler thing is that I know the manager for the local "big box store" that sells this stuff and he said he will just hold it for me when it comes out and allow me to pick it up that night. They are not supposed to do it, but whatever.

Such a pain in the ass for us App developers though to account for every freaking version of iOS.

Which is why they may stick with 4:3 aspect ratio. No idea. I always found it sort of dumb that iphone and ipad's don't share the same aspect ratio.

Yeah my CSS and general code has so many forks due to retina and orientation (landscape vs. portrait). You pretty much build your App for only one, then spend a weekend porting it, lol.

I just wonder if Apple's manufactures have the production capacity yet to manufacture these things fast enough to keep the prices the same? Manufactures couldn't keep up with the iPad 2 and it was using the same display as the iPad 1 used a year earlier. This iPad 3 display is completely new.
I hope an iPad 3 with retina display starts at $500. But I have a feeling Apple may have to do something different this year, due to what I would assume is lesser manufacturing capacity of the new type of panel. Something like two iPad 3 models, with a more expensive iPad 3 Pro having the Retina display.
We should find out in less than a month though.

Agreed, which is why I expect them to bump the entry version for the ipad3 to 32gb and then charge $600 for it and keep the ipad2 around for the "cheaper models". It will also make those legions of fans who just got ripped off with an ipad over christmas, less upset.

So your Ipad will have more resolution than your laptop.

Another iPad 3 rumor. Seems it will have an A5X processor, not the expected quad core A6 processor. It's speculated the A5X would be a 32nm dual core (believe the A5 is a 45nm chip).

Well that will certainly help with battery life at least, even if not allow for a small clock speed increase, if they want to keep battery life the same.

Have you guys heard of anyone making a good ~13" tablet anytime soon, as in by end of this year?
I'm looking for something that's about magazine size for reading, magazines, comic books and such.
10" seems too small to be able to see afull page large enough to read easily and with no need for scrolling.

That is why we are excited about the higher resolution. That will show an entire page, and depending on the scaling they use, it should be readable.

There is a rumor of an 11.6 inch Samsung tablet.

This.
I have not been an iPad fan before, but this might win me over.

I guess it might be possible that the high resolution will be enough to make a full page visible when it is only 9.7" diagonal. I will have to wait for it to come out and read the reviews.
If it indeed turns out to be legible enough, I wonder if reading the tiny letters will cause too much eye strain if one reads for a few hours.
A safe bet would be to put such a display in 12-13" tablet (like the one Ravyn linked to), but with companies obsessing with pocket devices and portability, that might be too much to ask for yet.
Eventually I hope they make 13" tablets that turn into laptops by attaching to a keyboard/additional battery slab, then people who want small laptops as well as people who want larger screen tablets will buy them, so market should be successful.

I think web browsing already works pretty well on 9.7 inch 1024x768 or 10.1 inch 1280x800 resolution tablets. The browser software does a good job scaling pages and keeping fonts legible for the most part.
