I think we can't even being to imagine how f'ing difficult it must have been to get the ipad 3's screen resolution to work. Up until now screens with this pixel density were not available at this size at all, so even just getting the screens produced must have been a challenge. And four times the pixels also means that a lot more computation power will be needed to actually make use of them. Of course, with more computing power, there's the issue of both heat and especially battery life. In my opinion it's amazing that Apple managed to squeeze nearly double the capacity of the old ipad's battery into a new battery which is only 50g heavier than the old one. Considering that battery life still is about the same than in the old iPad, I really think that doubling the capacity was surely needed or we'd all be pissed about poor battery life. Yeah. It's "just" a screen update, but a huge amount of work must have gone into making this happen. Remember last year when everybody wanted the bigger display, but "all" we got was a faster CPU? People were equally pissed back then.
