Your familiar with multiple supplier policy of Apple no?
Ahh yes, you're right - they have two suppliers, Simplo and Dynapack - not samsung though. Unsurprising really as Samsung itself buys batteries from Dynapack - presumably amongst others.

Anti-Apple fanboyism and wishful thinking are taking hold. I don't know what that means, but I understand it's what all the cool kids are saying.

You should see the comments on 'thisismynext.com'. There are a couple of incredibly determined WP7-warriors on them making holy war against the fandroids.
I just question whether greater resolution is really needed. My eyes aren't the best, but even with reading glasses on, I don't see the individual pixels on the original iPad. Even when text is rendered too small for me to make out, the individual pixels are not apparent. An increase in screen pixel resolution implies an increase in the associated processing. Even if it were possible to fully offload that increase to a dedicated graphics processor, the increase in processing implies more power consumption. The improvement would be a very minor, incremental improvement at best, and with unwanted consequences.
I have an iPad1, and greater resolution is the only reason I would consider upgrading. My eyes are extremely good, and I find text on the iPad screen quite blurry/pixellated at times - perhaps particularly as I've grown accustomed to my iPhone4 screen.
I have no need for either front or rear facing cameras, don't need faster performance (other than that required to push the pixels at the current rate), or more memory, or less weight, or different colours, or a magnetic cover. But I would dearly love this QXGA display.

Once you get used to the iPhone-4 screen everything else looks blurry
Hmm ... thanks for a voice of sanity here. The media, including AppleInsider, makes chip
selection decisions as if it were an all-or-none battle, intimating that
Samsung is really a sole-supplier in a manner which is now at risk.
Doesn't Apple second-source everything important, or is that a quaint notion
in the OEM business?
They have at least two sources for most parts with the notable exception of the processor. That is why I think people are reading too much into the fact that TSMC are testing chips for Apple. This is a second source, not a decision to ditch Samsung

so much for "apple is going to ditch samsung for pissing them off"
business is business to apple while business is personal for apple fans. Who knew?
Goes to show you, you cant get away from the tentacles of samsung.
By the way, the battery is provided by samsung as well
+1!!!

Different strokes huh?
Unless it's Samsung who is trying to buy Apple's dollars...
Brilliant!

But Apple Dollars must be worth at least two US Dollars these days
