It seems like all of the rumours about the release date of the iPad 3 is coming to an end as most commentators are settling on a release date in March. This was until Monday when analysts started predicting a release date a month later in April since there is an ongoing lawsuit in China.

Annis from CNet said: “There’s not a single commercial IGZO FPD [flat-panel display] available right now.”
“And if Apple does start accepting them for the iPad 3 and starts selling then in April, that would be a world’s first and we do think that’s likely to happen.”
Apart from the rumours about the display, Kyle Wiens of iFixit – pretty well known Apple Guru – states that the iPad 3 may not be as nice or different as we hope for it to be.
He said that his
“My guess is that improvements will be incremental, not insane–unless Apple decides to go to a quad-core.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple calls it the iPad 2 HD, instead of the iPad 3. This means maintaining the $500 price point.”
Adding that he’s certain that the iPad 3 is to have basically the same form factor but with double the screen resolution,” something that’s just “close” to the iPhone 4/4S’ Retina display.
Would you still wait for the iPad 3 or just buy the iPad 2?
