iPad 3 rumors predict arrival of next generation iPad

Rumors have it that the iPad 3 will be launched in February 2012.

Citing "sources in the supply chain," Digitimes reported that the iPad 3 is "expected to be available in the next 3-4 months as makers in the supply chain have started delivering parts and components for the new tablet to OEM contractors while reducing those prepared for iPad 2"

"Foxconn Electronics will begin to produce the next-generation iPads in January and to ramp up the production volume starting February," Digitimes added.

Industry Leader Magazine (ILM) also reported the rumor and added that the reason why Apple might launch the iPad 3 in February is because it wants to "upstage Samsung’s (also a rumor but there is high possibility that it pushes through) February launch of their own next-generation Galaxy Tab."

ILM also said there are speculations that the specifications of the iPad 3 would include a high-resolution, retina display, screen based on new technology from Sharp (most likely 2048 x 1536 display); an A6 chip; a larger capacity battery; higher resolution apps; and an LTE support. The iPad 3 is likely to be just a bit thicker, ILM said.

Meanwhile, there is an iPad 3 concept video posted on Youtube which contains rumors about the specs of the new generation iPad as well. Read more details about it here: http://noypistuff.blogspot.com/2011/12/ipad-3-rumors-surface-concept-video.html
