Display

iPad 3, if rumors are to be believed, will introduce a revolutionary retina display featuring double-resolution screen 2048×1536 pixels in dimension with modified IGZO (indium, gallium, zinc) technology that will provide an improved pixel density of 330 ppi.

This would be a significant upgrade on iPad 2's display of 1024x768 pixels and a pixel density of 132 ppi.

Battery

Speculation is rife about the iPad 3 battery, which is expected to be as high as 14,000 mAH to support the anticipated HD screen and a more powerful processor.

The iPad 2 comes with Li-Po 6930 mAh battery and Apple claims that the present battery gives up to 10 hours of talk time. According to DigiTimes report, Apple will design a much better battery with iPad 3 but Symplo Tech and Dynapack (Apple's battery manufacturers) refused to comment on their client Apple or its devices.

Siri

Now with the launch of Siri in Apple iPhone 4S, the tablet enthusiasts also want the same facility for their tabs. Apple, hopefully, will not dishearten its fans and will launch a better version of Siri in its next iteration of iPad.

The present version of Siri is not perfect but the tablet users can hold their hopes high to receive an updated version of the feature in iPad 3 that will have additional languages support like Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish.
