7-Inch iPad To Sport Retina Display, 128GB Model, and Mini / Micro USB Port?

We've heard that Apple will be making a 7-inch iPad for a while now but, of course, it's just a rumour. The latest rumour states that this 7-inch model of theirs will sport a Retina Display (another name for a high resolution display) along with a model sporting 128GB of on-board storage. Thankfully, the rumour also mentions that this iPad will also pack a micro / mini USB port which would be great. So maybe Apple has been in talks with Hitachi to use their new 6.6-inch UXGA (1,600 x 1,200) resolution IPS display that they just showed off at CEATEC (pictured above). That would be amazing.

Hitachi Unveils 6.6-Inch IPS Display At CEATEC, Sports An Insane 1,600 x 1,200 Resolution

At CEATEC which is going on right now, Hitachi has announced and shown off what could be a display for a tablet in the future. This 6.6-inch IPS (UXGA) display reportedly features a 1,600 x 1,200 resolution, which is insane and that's 302ppi out there for whoever wants to know. Other specs of this display are 400 nits of brightness, an 800:1 contrast ratio, and a 4:3 aspect ratio. Hmm, 4:3 is the same as the iPad so maybe Apple could be launching a smaller iPad in the future? We'll have to wait and see which company takes advantage of this.
