As the article notes, the December 2013 date is for a display with the same 326 DPI as an iPhone display. When they come out with a higher resolution iPad, it won't be at 326 DPI, it will be double the current resolution, which would be more like 260 DPI. Which would probably be possible in 2012. Later this year would be pushing it.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The rumor I heard was that they would release some kind of "iPad Pro" in the fall, but I honestly have no idea what the hell that would even mean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
(But I do continue to love the Apple rumor mill, which more or less seems to run on nothing more substantial than unicorn farts and mashable saying "I wanna pony! HEY GUYS! STEVE IS GONNA RELEASE A PONY!!")
I WANT A PONY!

All you iPony owners are going to be so jealous when Apples comes out with the iUnicorn the following year.

Then of course hackers will be attaching horns to their iPonies. Things will get bloody.

Or maybe the iGalactica. Although for work reasons I'll probably end up with the MS Enterprise.
