A report printed in DigiTimes, a sometimes-accurate source for component news, claims that Apple has already begun the process of certifying components designed to be used in the third generation of iPad, which is not expected until early next year. The report says that the certification of companies such as Radiant Opto-Electronics and Taiwan-based Chimei Innolux is nearly complete, and that the screen will remain the same size at 9.7 inches diagonal.
