Rumor: Apple Working on iPad 'HD' With Retina

Super clear images coming to an iPad soon?

Apple's made a pretty big deal about its Retina Display for the iPhone 4 when it launched a year ago, but its 300+ dpi (326 dpi on the iPhone 4, to be exact) technology has yet to hit anything else other than the corresponding iPod touch.
