Rumor Update: iPad 2 to be released soon with Retina Display and Camera

iPad 2 rumors are in the air these days and blogosphere all over is brimming with speculations about this latest Apple Tablet device. Since the iPad was a success story for Apple, its next version of iPad is surely a thing that people are longing for. Tech blogs everywhere are speculating about the specs of the device, some are saying that this time iPad will be equipped with cameras and enhanced visual options.

Recently Digg founder Kevin Rose whose previous records with Apple related rumors have been in two categories, that is either spot on or totally wrong, said in a recent blog post that he has some confirm news that Apple’s latest iPad will be announced in the next 3-4 weeks probably February 1 and this time it includes dual cameras and the Retina display.

The dual camera on iPad seems very much certain provided the fact that Apple is pushing the FaceTime and other video chat apps. But Retina Display rumor seems to be a far off thing.

Right now iPad has boasts a resolution of 1024x768 so to go for Retina, Apple needs to double it on both the sides that is 2048x1536. With a screen size of almost 9.7 inches, this type of resolution means Apple 27 inch LED cinema display converted to a miniature scale. If any of the consumer electronic device company is able to make one, the price will certainly be very much higher. With this type of resolution, the current apps on the Apple app store will either appear awful or will have extremely low dropping elements.

So let’s see that whether Kevin’s rumors stay true this time or not.
