A MacRumors forum-user figured out a way to mirror the iPad’s screen wirelessly to an HDTV. The mod definitely requires some technical know-how and a bit of elbow grease, but it doesn’t require the iPad to be jailbroken or cracked open. The forum-user, who uses the handle

Can Apple Achieve a Retina Display on the iPad?
When Apple adopted the retina display on the iPhone 4 last June, they made arguably one of the best computing displays every created. Simply the amount of pixels they are able to pack into a small 3.5-inch display is remarkable. The term retina was used because the pixels are packed so tightly, most human eyes cannot see them. This makes reading text much more pleasurable and renders photos and webpages with amazing detail. There is no doubt Apple wants to put a retina display on the iPad. It

Why high resolution screens matter for Apple’s iPad 2
Substantiated rumors of the next generation iPad using a vastly higher resolution 2048x1536 display are drawing some to question why the iPad would even need such a dense pixel count, which is much higher than even Apple's 17 inch MacBook Pro. The answer relates to resolution independence. Understanding why Apple is expected to increase the next iPad's resolution beyond that of its existing high end notebooks requires a look at how screen resolutions and pixel densities have impacted the
