High-Resolution Sharp Display Reportedly for iPad 3 Surfaces
The flurry of iPad 3 part leaks continues today following yesterday's interior photo of the rear shell and some follow-up photos of the exterior of the shell and the Smart Cover magnets. Among the most prominent additions today are new photos of what may be the iPad 3's display.
Japanese blog Macotakara points to a posting by repair firm iLab Factory showing a 9.7-inch LCD panel from Sharp that is said to be a 2048x1536 high-resolution display set for inclusion in the iPad 3. The panel shows three ribbon cables connecting the display to its circuit board, in line with a previously-leaked photo of a claimed iPad 3 panel. The iPad 2 panel only utilizes two ribbon cables, with the additional cable on the new panel thought to be required to support its higher resolution.
A few other minor components as well as additional photos of previously-seen parts have also surfaced today, with galleries having been put together by Cult of Mac and 9to5Mac.
Apple is reportedly set to introduce the iPad 3 during the first week of March, with the first round of launches following shortly thereafter.

Let's organize a party for all the people with these parts to get together and build the damn thing. I'll bring pizza and some six packs.

When it rains, it pours! I have never seen so many rumors and different stories about one product in this short time period in a long time.

For fun, I put together a little chart comparing the reported resolution on the iPad 3 to other iOS devices.
My first PC had a 800x600 resolution. I thought that was impressive!

If they pull this off for the same or less price points, the competitors are in big trouble.
