See the article on retina display in wikipedia for more details. There have also been web articles verifying and arguing with the Apple definition. A simple search will turn up many of them.

Certainly true, but apple is most likely to stick to existing screen resolutions rather than introducing a new one (for instance, 1600x1200), as this would require developers to update their apps just to fit in the new resolution (as it happened on the iphone 5). I could well be mistaken, but my money would be on them doubling each axis to make it retina.
