iPad 3 May Just Be What CSI Miami's David Caruso Needs

While many Apple fans are still trying to get their hands on the iPad 2, we know a couple who are hanging on to their original iPad tablet until the iPad 3 comes rolling in. It's no doubt going to be a long wait but at the same time, the rampant amount of rumors suggesting what the iPad 3 may deliver could just keep your warm and cozy until April 2012

iPad 3 may be sunglasses-friendly

The latest comes in the way of a new patent application filed by Apple at the US Patent and Trademark office. According to AppleInsider who discovered "Display that Emits Circularly-Polarized Light" filing, Apple appears to have been working on and possibly perfected "an improved LCD display for devices like the iPhone and iPad that is not distorted when viewed by a user wearing polarized sunglasses outdoors." You heard that Mr. David Caruso? You don't have to continue using that off-brand tablet on CSI Miami come 2012 anymore.
The patent explains an LCD display that cuts down on the distortion normally associated when viewing screen with polarizing filters (e.g. sunglasses). The patent details the problem in simple terms:
"Hence a user looking at the LCD display of a portable device... may see a distorted image in the display when viewed through polarized sunglasses, due to the polarized filters in the sunglasses blocking the light when the display is viewed at some angles."
While it is a useful feature no doubt given the fact that both the iPhone 6 and iPad 3 are boasted for their portability, hence heavy outdoor use, would the possibility of such a feature being incorporated into next-gen iOS devices be enough to stop you from springing for the 2011 models?
