This:

LGD, as the largest panel supplier for the iPad 2, began using its 6G LCD plant to produce 9.7-inch panels for the Apple tablets in second-quarter 2011. The maker originally planned to enhance the panels' monthly supply to nearly four million units in third-quarter from around three million units in the second quarter.

But quality issues with the LGD panels for the iPad 2 have disrupted the maker's production pace and have caused Apple to suspend new orders for the maker, the sources claimed. Apple has turned to Samsung and CMI to meet its demand.

Ironically there has been a twist in behaviors. Apple usally is tight lipped about the upcoming produts and Google seems to be very vocal. While iOS5 has been heavily tooted, little has been said on Android 4.

Verizon is launching the Droid Prime around the same time the iPhone 5 is coming out. The Droid Prime will be a Verizon exclusive that will have Android 4 it will be interesting to see what the result is.

Ah yes, forgot the iPhone 4 was only the single core A4 chip. A move to a A5 doesn't seem unlikely (which are currently manufactured by Samsung).

Verizon/LTE I don't know. Don't live in the US. From all reports the battery life isn't great for these LTE phones? And it would also create segmentation between their US partners which they may or may not wish? I could see Apple going another cycle before LTE but I wouldn't be surprised either way.

re: Android 4, isn't it primarily about bringing the phone versions in line with the Honeycomb tablet orientated release?

Ah, Cheers. Has there been any comparison between different models/screens? Most manufacturers screens tend to have slightly different signatures. Wonder if any one is better than the other.

There is little known at the time. HC and Gingerbread merge is one of the features. A few more features is automation, USB hosting support, better multitasking along with UI enhancements.

So is there little known at this time because Google hasn't released any details to anyone? Or are developers all busily working with it but respect Google's NDAs to leak anything (unlike Apple, where it seems every blogger has dev access )

My understanding is Apple will not support LTE with the iPhone 4 partly because AT&T isn't there yet and partly because Apple likes to let network issues settle a bit first. LTE is still in infancy globally. Nor does it have to support LTE this iteration. 3G/4G HSPA running to 14 mbps or 21 mbps is good enough. No one is going to avoid iPhone 5 in October because it "isn't LTE".

I don't know, Google I/O released some info on 4.0 but that is all. If it really is nothing but a merge of 2x and 3x maybe that is why little is said.

I suspect it's because of Google's model. They work closely with one vendor making their ideal "Google Experience" phone/tablet. Then release the source to others. You just don't have as many leaks when you're dealing with one company. Where as iPhone is dealing with many.

In this case they are working with Samsung to product the Nexus Prime(Droid Prime for Verizon)

Apple hasn't been quite with iOS 5.

Eh?

Apple controls the whole shebang with iPhone, who are they dealing with that means they have more leaks?

The biggest complaints that I've heard have been that it's harder to see OLED screens outside. But I've only seen them inside and they looked fine to me.

It's not dpi at all. It's ppi. Pixels per inch vs. dots per inch. It really is 300+ ppi, but that's not nearly the same as 300 dpi, which is high quality printing.

1200 DPI is high quality printing. You actually need more DPI than PPI to achieve the same quality, since each dot of ink has an extremely limited color depth.
