iPad with Retina Display was much rumored earlier this year, iPad 2X graphics were found in the iBooks application and were immediately assumed to be for the iPad 2, which does not include a Retina display once unveiled.

Now, the guys at TechUnwrapped digging deep inside the new iOS 5 SDK have found images marked with 2X making the new iPad capable of displaying 2048 x 1536 resolution on its display (four times the pixels) of the current iPad (1024 x 768) this pushes the speculation further more as this is not apparently for pure testing purposes. The image below from Newsstand app.

As iOS 5 is the base for the next generation iPhone and iPad it does make sense that the new iPad will get a really Retina display after all
