Intermission: iPad Rumor Mill

Report: iPad 3 in March - Technology Review: "And did Bloomberg's three sources spill the beans on any specs? They did, in fact, though they were at times vague. We can expect to see a "high-definition" screen, one with more pixels than many HD TVs, and one in which "the pixels are small enough to make the images look like printed material." A quad-core chip will enable fast toggling among applications, and extra graphics processing should mean that videos play "almost instantly."

The most intriguing detail? The iPad 3 will be compatible with LTE. Interestingly, LTE will be coming to Apple's tablet before its phone; reportedly this is because the tablet, with its larger battery, is able to run LTE without draining its juice embarrassingly quickly."
