A new rumor (amid conflicting reports) now contradicts an old rumor: Sharp, said to have been the beneficiary of a long-term investment worth nearly $4 billion by Apple at the beginning of the year to make new-technology screens for future devices, is now reported to be out of the running for screens on the expected iPad 3 due to either a failure to meet supply requirements or simply didn't make the cut in terms of quality. Samsung and LG are said to now be providing new higher-rez displays for the iPad 3.
