, May 13th 2011 Discuss [13]

Samsung has announced a new 10.1-inch, 300dpi PenTile prototype display running at a massive WQXGA 2560 x 1600 resolution, which the company says is headed to commercial tablets later this year.

, Feb 25th 2011 Discuss [0]

From everything Apple told us about the developer release of Mac OS X Lion yesterday, we were already excited. The AirDrop instant sharing tool promises the sort of straightforward simplicity we've grown to expect from the company, and the various usability tweaks carried over from iOS should see the platform become an interesting hybrid of sorts. Still, there's more to be revealed under the hood; MacRumors has learnt that the long-anticipated "Resolution Independence" has made it into OS X Lion, paving the way for ultra-high-resolution Retina Display style screens on MacBook Pro and Cinema Displays.

, Feb 10th 2011 Discuss [4]

The iPad 2 isn't even official yet, but already the speculation over the third-generation version of the Apple tablet has begun in earnest. Prompted by Daring Fireball's John Gruber predicting that HP might struggle with the Touchpad because "If my theory is right, they’re not only going to be months behind the iPad 2, but if they slip until late summer, they might bump up against the release of the iPad 3," TechCrunch sources stepped up with the supposedly solid news that there would be two iPad refreshes in 2011: the iPad 2, imminently, and then the iPad 3 this fall.

iPad 3 to get Retina Display: panels too expensive for 2nd-gen slate

, Jan 24th 2011 Discuss [11]

Further talk that the so-called iPad "Retina Display" prototypes - running high-resolution 2048 x 1536 panels - are in fact for the third-generation slate has emerged, with IDC Research lending its weight to the idea of a high-res iPad 3 instead. According to research manager Tom Mainelli, "Our sources say Apple has requested that manufacturers begin work on displays with that resolution for the iPad 3. I don't believe anybody is ready to produce that resolution in volumes at this point. And Apple is going to require huge volumes for the iPad 2." Read The Full Story

Claims that the iPad 2 will have an iPhone 4-style Retina Display have come under criticism, with insiders suggesting that the second-gen iOS slate is more likely to stick with the existing 1024 x 768 resolution. Daring Fireball's sources deny the possibility of a "super high resolution" screen, such as the tipped 2048 x 1536 panel, though suggest it's possible that Apple could have refined the production of the screen "making it look more like pixels on glass rather than pixels under glass."
