We found indirect evidence of the display Retina-iPad 2

It is expected that very soon, Steve Jobs has once again come out on stage and show the new coveted gadget. As you can guess, we are talking about the next-gen iPad. In the past year, shortly before the iPad announcement, the net is full of rumors about the future of the tablet Apple. The situation is similar today. This topic is on everyone's lips and people literally "nose digging the ground" in the policy information about the new product. The result was some evidence of a new display in the iPad 2 - a certain analogue Retina of the iPhone 4.

For example, Macrumors browser unearthed the August news country picture bookmarks in iBooks app version 1.1. It is referred to as iPad @ x2 and has increased Released fourfold in comparison with the original image of the interface member employed in iPad (76h136 points against 38h68 points). This point is interesting because in iBooks are also available, and interface files for the iPhone, and so elements of a Retina-display indicates the index «@ 2x».

Macrumors on this investigation has not ended. IBooks 1.2 in the above image enthusiasts have discovered debts. But they found something that is not less interesting, namely the file with a resolution of Wood [email protected] 1536h800 points. This is the same texture to the bookshelf in the iBooks, that's just permission from her four times higher than that of the original file that is used in the program for the current generation iPad (768h400 points).

Previously, the public opinion and information resources about the appearance of the display plate with increased resolution were divided: some claimed that Apple will leave the usual display, some argued otherwise. Now, the balance swung in the direction of a Retina analogue for the tablet. That is, in the iPad 2, we may well see a 10-inch screen with a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels. It's not quite 320 dpi, both Retina-screen iPhone. Still, diagonal from the tablet much more. In this case, the density of pixels per inch will be 260 dpi. But when you consider that the tablet screen is typically located on the eyes than a phone, then the effect will be similar to that of the iPhone 4.

I note that at CES 2011 competitors have shown some very interesting tablet. For example, the same Motorola Xoom based Androod 3.0, with a 10.1 inch display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and SoC-system NVIDIA Tegra 2 based on dual processor ARM Cortex-A9. Of course, the iPad has a big advantage in the form of iOS, App Store, and a huge range of software and let the new model tablet also get a dual-core processor, but technical in comparison with the Xoom, it looked not so good with the old screen. If Apple will install display with a resolution of 2048x1536 pixels, it will appear again in front of the entire planet, leaving competitors in the wake. After all, the screen - is a critical component for the tablet.
