The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is working on the next generation iPad with an expected release date in early 2012. The iPad 3 is expected to have twice the resolution as its predecessor with a 9.7” screen. Parts suppliers have already received enough orders for 1.5 million iPad 3s. In other news, Verizon announced that the 45,000 employees striking would resume working on Monday without coming to an agreement on the new contracts. The FBI is looking into over 90 acts of sabotage that put some service out from Massachusetts to Delaware. There is no deadline on the contract negotiations. And finally, if you’re looking for an incredibly cheap tablet, HP slashed its prices on the now unsupported TouchPad. The 16GB model is $99, but overwhelming demand sold over 350,000 and temporarily put HP out of stock.
