MacRumors is reporting on comments made by Digg founder Kevin Rose, wherein he’s claiming to have information from sources on “good authority” that the next-generation iPad will launch in 3-4 weeks. Late, he updated the post by stating that the new iPad will have a higher resolution display than the current model, yet it will still fall short of a true “Retina” display, due to the lack of processing power that is needed to drive a hypothetical 2560X1930 display.
Here’s an excerpt:
I have it on good authority that Apple will be announcing the iPad 2 in the next “3-4 weeks”, possibly Tuesday February 1st. The iPad 2 will feature a retina display and front/back cameras.
Credit where credit is due- Kevin Rose has been right on some things in the past. However, he’s also been wrong on several things in the past. So, take what he says with a grain of salt.
Also, the timing feels off to me. Yes, I expect Apple to release the new iPad this quarter. No, I don’t believe they’ll release it this close to the rumored Verizon iPhone that is expected to be announced this Tuesday. Look for the new iPad closer to the 1 year anniversary of the iPad launch this April.
