If you love 3-D movies, the next version of the iPad could knock your eyes out. What could Apple do to make the next gen iPad truly revolutionary? How about incorporating 3-D technology? According to RCR Wireless, sources in both Hollywood and Taiwan are claiming that Apple has big plans for a 3-D iPad.

What could Apple do to make the next gen iPad truly revolutionary? How about incorporating 3-D technology? According to RCR Wireless, sources in both Hollywood and Taiwan are claiming that Apple has big plans for a 3-D iPad.

The fact that the iPad 3 is 3D is a dead cert, one Hollywood insider close to the big movie studios told RCR, adding that the screen would be the real magic. She went on to say that the big film studios were currently running around like blue arsed flies trying to gear up to release plenty of 3D content in time for Apple’s next launch.

A Hollywood source said to be close to the major film studios told RCR, “The fact that the iPad 3 is 3D is a dead cert.” The source added that the studios were already gearing up to produce lots of 3-D content before the debut of the next iPad. Foxconn is Taiwan has previously disclosed that Apple is planning a 3-D iPad in the future. A few months ago, Japanese blog Macotakara claimed that Apple’s LCD supplier was already making small LCD panels that are glasses-free for the iPod Touch.

Putting their films onto iTunes has proven a pretty good deal for film studios, but it’s still a bizarre notion that Apple could be swaying their content production in any way. The rumour seems stranger still given how careful Apple remains about details of future product launches.

On the other hand, you can bet your Levi’s that Steve Jobs would love to get one up on the Nintendo 3DS, a portable gaming console that offers decent 3D images without the need to wear silly glasses. The iPad 3 wouldn’t necessarily be the first Apple product to add a 3D display either, with the iPhone 5 possibly going down that road too.
