I believe the rumors. Gruber's reasoning is sound enough but I'm thinking back to the iPhone 3GS where Apple lost some momentum by not pushing the hardware platform aggressively enough. The iPad is such a huge part of Apple's future it seems to me if there's any possibility of pulling this off they will go for it along with a very significant iOS update. That would go a long way towards crushing this first generation of competition from HP, RIM, Android devices, etc. It will be expensive but let's assume the sales of the iPad 1 surprised even Apple and they priced it out projecting 5-8M sales. They may have a pretty decent profit margin here to offset the costs. If they're producing 30-50 million of these displays in 2011 I don't think price will be a major concern come 2012 and beyond.
