Here are your Apple news items and rumors for Monday: No iPad 3 Until After
Christmas: Looks like spring 2012 will bring just as many disgruntled holiday
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iPad shoppers as spring 2011 did. Speaking with All Things

iPad model sold throughout the rest of 2011. Prototypes of a third-generation
iPad are out there, though, the analyst said. Past rumors have said the iPad 3
will include a higher-resolution screen, putting it on par with the Retina
Display in current models of the iPhone. Samsung Plans to Sue Pants Off Apple

patents held by Samsung. A senior executive at Samsung said, For as long as
Apple does not drop mobile telecommunications functions, it would be impossible

different shapes and sizes. Would consumers cotton to a triangular smartphone?
