Notably, a photo in the email depicts an upgraded, extremely high-resolution display,

OK, I give up. How can you tell that the display is 'high resolution'. It looks like a display (assuming it's a real picture and not a photoshopped one, of course).

confirming widespread reports.

There were widespread reports that the apple invitation would include an iPad with a high-res display? I hadn't heard that!

But a picture of supposedly something confirms nothing except it's a picture of something on an invitation. Then again, I can see the blasting from the blog sites if Apple doesn't have a high-res display (oh, sorry, a 'retina' display, it's apple, it has to have a cutesy name). "The picture shows a high-res display! They lied to us! Class action lawsuit time!"

What Apple will call the new tablet is unknown, but most news accounts have simply referred to it as the iPad 3.

What else would they call it? You got two choices. iPad 3. Or iPad 2s. Well, I guess they could call it the iPad Pro. Or the iTouchPad. Or change the name completely and call it the MacTablet. Or iMacTablet.

But most people really don't give a flip what it's called. As long as they can touch it, because it apparently needs to be touched.
