iPad HD and iPhone 5 To Land This Fall?

The rumors are starting to pick up about a second iPad release this year, in a new, higher-resolution, pro level form. Tentatively dubbed the iPad HD, ThisIsMyNext has some exclusive rumors about this device. Their sources say it will launch this year with double resolution: 2048 x 1536, designed to coincide with the iPad version of Final Cut or Aperture. So something specifically designed for the pro level market.

Their sources are also saying that the next iPhone won’t be an incremental upgrade — but that the components of the next, thinner and lighter iPhone 5 are being tested inside the shells of an iPhone 4, which is what’s causing the confusion. It’s making people’s sources think the next iPhone is physically identical to the iPhone 4, when the final release will have a completely new, smaller body.

Josh Topolsky has some really good contacts within the industry, so I’m curious how solid this rumor is. Color me absolutely intrigued.
