OS X Lion Coming on Wednesday, High Res iPad 3 Next?

The wait for Mac OS X Lion seems to be finally over. Apple has been preparing to officially release the new Mac OS to the market for a while now. Apple Insider has learned that Mac OS X 10.7 and 2 Thunderbolt enhanced laptops could make their debut as early as this upcoming Wednesday. These new laptops will have 4 GB RAM at the minimum and ship with backlit keyboards. While this is a rumor at this point, the timing does seem to be right.

iPhone 5 and iPad 3 are the next big things for Apple. We have already heard a few stories about Apple thinking about introducing iPad HD later this year. Korean Times reports that Apple has already started quality testing Samsung and LG’s LCDs:

Apple�s upcoming iPad 3 will feature an improved display to support quad extended graphics (QXGA), a display resolution of 2048×1536 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio to provide full high definition (HD) viewing experience

An iPad with this kind of display will offer a much superior experience than what we get on the current generation iPad. It won’t match iPhone 4’s screen quality but is a good step up. It is still not clear whether Apple will introduce this high resolution iPad as iPad 3 or iPad pro.
