The company’s manufacturing partners in Asia started ramping up production of the iPad 3 this month and plan to reach full volumes by February, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the details aren’t public. The tablet will use a quad-core chip, an enhancement that lets users jump more quickly between applications, two of the people said.
Bloomberg goes on to add:Apple is bringing LTE to the iPad before the iPhone because the tablet has a bigger battery and can better support the power requirements of the newer technology, said one of the people.
The new display is capable of greater resolution than the current iPad, with more pixels on its screen than some high- definition televisions, the person said. The pixels are small enough to make the images look like printed material, according to the person. Videos begin playing almost instantly because of the additional graphics processing, the person said.
As reported earlier in the week, Bloomberg also claims that the iPad 3 production started at the beginning of the month.
Apple is widely expected to launch iPad 3 with Retina Display. However, there has been contradictory rumors about the thickness of the next iPad. Some reports have claimed that it will be slightly thicker to accomodate the change in LED backlight design for iPad 3's Retina Display, while others insist iPad 3 will be thinner than iPad 2.
We really hope that this rumor of a iPad 3 with Retina Display, quad-core processor and 4G LTE support turns out to be true. What about you?

I hope its coming with 4S camera and HD front camera. Will be lovely to have that. I sold my iPad2 so I could buy 3 with a better camera and new design.
Same here!
Wow, you guys don’t need ipad’s if you already sold yours! I could never sell mine before I have new one in my hand. Using the ipads every day…
No point giving my opinion, each and every time my comment was deleted! Wasting time!
Seriously! They police their own website like it’s made for children! I know it’s your website, iphonehacks, but come on.
WORD !
This site is becoming ridicolous !
Maybe try not using foul language every other word and your comment may stay up. I got to the point of not reading comments because everyone spoke like they were 13. Thanks iPhonehacks for making people not act like children!
How can they do this with AT&T? They dont offer 4g yet I though?
AT&T is offering in Los Angeles 4G LTE
