When the iPad 2 came out some were disappointed to hear that they wouldn’t be getting that delicious retina display screen, as seen on the iPhone 4.

Well, stop the presses since a rumor has come out that iPad 3 will not only feature that high resolution display, but also is just right around the corner. — More after the break!
