Apple to launch ‘iPad 2 Plus’ with better display this year, analyst claims

Apple is gearing up to launch an updated version of its popular iPad 2 tablet with a high-resolution display later this year, according to FBR Capital Markets analyst Craig Berger. In a note to investors on Wednesday, the analyst claimed that Apple is currently shopping for quotes from manufacturers in China. The new iPad, which he calls an “iPad 2 Plus,” will not be an entirely new model as earlier reports have stated. Instead, Berger’s sources say the update will be a high-end version of the iPad 2 with a better display; the analyst believes Apple will increase the device’s pixel density from the current iPad 2 display’s 132 pixels per inch to between 250 and 300 pixels per inch. The move would be extremely curious for Apple, but it is possible. Apple could release a new high-end iPad featuring a 2048 x 1536-pixel display, which is double the current model’s resolution, and developers would able to maintain a single version of each application that will accommodate both screens. This would be a similar scenario to what we have now with the iPhone 3GS (480 x 320-pixel display) and iPhone 4 (960 x 640-pixel display). Berger believes Apple may now meet or even exceed his build target of between 40 and 45 million iPad tablets in 2011.

    I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff, LiveCent.com

    At least many of you are seeing the irony of Apple’s release cycle. New feature = New+Old Money. Apple knows the iSheep will fight for a new iPad with a better display. 

    And yeah, BGR, you have enough Apple ish posted here today to make Apple cider. Is this a running joke for you guys now?

    Did you feel that?  It was the whoosh of all the crApple zombies racing to the nearest crApple store to buy the latest iNnovation out of Cupertino..    I can hear the conversation between Stevie B Jobs and his executive staff now…

    Stevie B Jobs:  “what other minor …er major innovative things can we do to our iMaxi 2 to make them race out to buy it?” 
    Random exec: “Sir, no need to make any changes.  We can just put another fart app on it, take a shit in the box and call it the iMaxi 2 Plus.  They will flock in droves to buy it.”

    One thing which I not like about iPad 2 is it dose not support 1080p HD video content. And come with original iPad display and resolution is 1024*768. I hope iPad 2 plus will come with AMOLED display to enjoy the clarity of video content.
