iPad 3 to Appear in Early 2012?

According to sources of The Wall Street Journal, the next oversized iPhon- I mean, iPad, is set to make an appearance in early 2012.

The next iPad is set to have a 2048 x 1536 high resolution screen - compared with the measly 1024 x 768 in the iPad 2 - and will be packed into a sweet, and damn expensive 9.7 inch slab of smooth brushed metal coolness. Although that said, if you recall, the iPad 2 was rumoured to have a 2048 x 1536 resolution as well, so you may not want to get your hopes up.

Apple has, as usual, declined to comment.
