The Next Generation in Apple home entertainment

June 15, 2011 - PRLog -- I love the smell of armchair tablet quarterbacking in the morning. It smells like… the lawn fertilizer that my landscaper is stinking up my neighborhood with.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I like to speculate on what’s going to be in the next iPad as much as the next guy. In fact I’m probably the leading speculator on ZDNet when it comes to prognosticating on technologies Apple may or may not integrate into future products.
But sometimes you need to re-examine the quarterbacking and think about whether or not it actually makes any sense, even though compelling evidence would seem to indicate a perfectly good reason for validating it.

Case in point, this entire question of whether or not the next iPad is going to be “Retinized”, based on evidence in an iOS 5 developer framework containing double-resolution images designed for a QXGA 2048×1536 display.

Now, while this would seem to indicate that Apple is staying with a golden ratio of 4:3, I’m not sure this is the smoking gun that the next iPad is going to have a resolution this impressive.

For starters, I think that any 10.1″ display with that level of resolution is going to be extremely expensive to make. Unless Apple’s display supplier, LG or another partner has come up with some ground-breaking way to make smaller screens super high-res at a very cheap price, there’s no way Apple could continue to offer its current iPad line at a $500.00 entry price point.

I think that the iPad 3 may very well have an enhanced resolution, possibly UXGA (1600×1200) but I think at least for several years, until this type of high-density small display technology is heavily commoditized and manufacturing economies of scale are achieved, we’re not likely to see any kind of $500 tablet with the kind of pixel density being alluded to.

Additionally, to drive a QXGA display, you’re going to need a considerable amount of GPU horsepower compared to what is shipping in the current A5, particularly if you start pushing extremely detailed 3D alpha blended graphics using the next generation of gaming technology.
