Thinking about snatching up an iPad for the holidays? We must urge you to wait. If there isn’t some insane deal and you’re ok with going a few more months iPad-less, something much better is around the corner with the iPad 3 according to DisplaySearch analyst Richard Shim (via: Cnet).

While hardware such as processor (possibly a quad-core) and GPU are likely shoe-ins for upgrade, the biggest spectacle will be the (still rumored) retina display featuring a gargantuan 2048 x 1536 resolution. To keep supply in check with demand, Apple will reportedly source panels from three display makers: LG, Samsung, and Sharp.

In other iPad related news, rumors of a ~7-inch Apple tablet continue, though no firm details are known. Personally, we could care less about a 7-inch tablet if there’s a 9.7-incher floating around with 2048 x 1536 resolution. You?

    I read on a different tech blog that it will be thicker than the current iPad 2 to make room for the retina display. Any confirmation on that? Personally, I’d live with a thicker iPad with better display and – crossing fingers – longer battery life.
