How would Apple possibly be able to maintain production costs on the iPad 3 if they include retina display?

The screen resolution for computer displays will indeed STOP at some point once it is large enough to satisfy our eyes' needs completely. Same as happened with audio: we could digitize audio at Megasamples/second, but you never find standard audio systems going over 96 ksamples/second. At some point it will not be anymore about resolution (or sampling rate), but other things such as color quality, contrast, refresh speed, noise level and so. Megahertz in computers on the other side have no "it-is-enough" limit. The faster, the more complex things you'll be able to do, there is no inherent limit to the complexity that you want to achieve. Same for memory, disk size and so on. No limits there! Another story is talking about display resolution for specialized uses. For example projector that magnifies the image a lot. If you want to enlarge the projection a lot starting with a very little rendering display, that would indeed require much higher resolution than a screen for our eyes. Or glasses that include a displays(+optics) at 2cm from your eyes, etc etc. Continuing with the audio example, you have specialized ultrasound audio digitizers going over 96khz for weird purposes, but not to listen Enya or Madonna! :-) you can’t compare screen resolution with megahertz and things like that.

I would expect those who comment on Apple product would at least realize what is viewed on the screen would be normalized to the display size.

They will advertise as "the same great battery life as before" or something similar, but just like iPhone 4S is not nearly as good as iPhone 4, the battery life will take a 20-30% hit in real usage. That is my bet. I suspect battery life is going to suffer.
