I wish Reeder could filter out all articles with "iPad 3" or other phrases. The iPad and Macs will ship when they ship with whatever features they have. I don't want to participate in all the speculation. Maybe it's because I have a product in each of Apple's lines that I don't care too much.
Previous studies of rumors have shown them to be remarkably wrong. Here's an example of the latest from Cult of Mac, Apple Orders 65 Million Retina Displays For iPad 3 [Report] "Apple has reportedly ordered a whopping 65 million high-resolution 264 ppi Retina Displays from Samsung and LG Display for its upcoming iPad 3...The third-generation device, which is also expected to feature a quad-core A6 processor and maybe even LTE connectivity, is expected to get its unveiling during the first week of March, with a launch in the U.S. one week later."
Now I suppose that's possible, but the device will need a lot of memory to support that screen and bumping up the screen, CPU and radio will be a big power level increase. Either Apple found a new battery tech, made it much larger, or the device gets much less battery life. I think battery life is one of the iPad's best features and it's usually under appreciated in reviews. It easily lasts all day with heavy use and all weekend with lighter use. Long enough that you don't have to think about it, which is what's magical about Apple products.
