Report: New Galaxy Tab to Have 2560x1600 'Retina' Display
Samsung is rumored to be producing an 11-inch Galaxy Tab equipped with a Retina display.
Apple's iPad 3 is rumored to boast one of the company's exalted retina displays. Though there hasn't been much in the way of rumors or leaks to suggest this, its assumed based on the fact that the iPad 2 missed out on this feature. However, it seems the iPad 3 won't be the only tablet with an out of this world screen. The latest rumors doing the rounds in the blogosphere say Sammy is currently working on an 11.6-inch Galaxy Tab with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 and a 16:10 aspect ratio.
Boy Genius Report cites a trusted source in reporting that the tablet will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress next Spring, which is the same event Samsung used to debut the Galaxy Tabs 10.1 and 8.9 earlier this year. The tablet is also said to have Ice Cream Sandwich and a dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU clocked at 2GHz. BGR reports that this CPU is supposedly very similar to Apple's new A6 CPU, which is a dual-core Cortex A15 chip.

2560 x 1600 lol, on an 11 inch display thats crazy. I think this is ridiculous as the amount of power
needed to power that display will not fit into the compact design of a tab. If it is true, I will use this as an
external monitor for my pc lol. GTX 580 in SLI and i7 2600 @ 4.5 Ghz, Apple sheep can commit suicide in 5,4,3,2,1.....
puts my crappy 1920x1080 monitor to shame
Maybe they can take this in a crazy direction and take all the wasted heat from powering the screen and have a grill on the back. sod your retina displays i want bacon.
