An "iPad HD" Approaches

parislemon:

Joshua Topolsky reports that Apple will release a new iPad this fall dubbed “iPad HD”, which will sport a 2048 x 1536 resolution. 

Of course, I reported on Apple planning a fall iPad refresh back in February. While I called it “iPad 3”, I noted I was only doing so to “keep it simple” — remember, the iPad 2 hadn’t even been announced at the time.

John Gruber kick-started all of this new iPad talk right before my report, but stated his talk were merely a “guess”.

I speculated that the device would have a “Retina” display, but didn’t have any firm details. Still, as I said:

Again, to be clear, my information on this isn’t a guess (though my thoughts as to the reasons why Apple would do this are). Apple’s plan, at least right now, is to release another version of the iPad in the fall. That may change, but that is currently the plan.

Everyone thought I was crazy.

Crazy.
