The year’s ending folks and I don’t know if you realize how close we are to yet another iPad… Rumored to launch in Q1 2012, the new tablet from Apple is expected to sport a Retina Display of its own, one that’s apparently giving Samsung and LG a hard time, if rumors are true.

Inside info says that the iPad 3 is in production now at LG Display and Samsung, although the latter is still battling Apple in court. The problem with the production of the slate lies in the need to manufacture mass volumes of the display embedded in it. Sources say that the company wants to launch a slate with a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution, doubling the current iPad res.

Production is set to start in November and apparently such an initiative is a never been done before thing. It seems that initially Apple wanted to launch the iPad 3 before the end of 2011, but because of the display production they postponed its debut. I wonder if Samsung lacks the motivation to start putting things in motion considering their beef with Apple…
