A supplier of replacement parts for Apple portables, as well as other electronics, claims to have gotten hold of the Apple iPad 2 LCD Screen, which it sells for $218.19, though listed as currently out of stock. The company also lists availability for an iPad vibrating motor.

Various sources reporting on this finding indicate that the high price would corroborate rumors of Apple increasing the number of pixels four-fold on the screen of its next-generation tablet.

Apple has every reason to attract customers with a much-improved viewing experience, therefore this should not come as a surprise.

Apple will reportedly advertise a 2048x1536 resolution for the iPad 2, which the company is expected to launch this spring.

Globaldirectparts.com is also selling an "OEM Apple iPad Vibrating Motor," though fails to post any imagery of the hardware in question.

Unlike the iPad 2 LCD screen, the motor is listed as "In Stock" and allegedly costs $9.99 to buy.

Apple’s current iPad iteration boasts no vibration functionality, therefore the addition of a vibrating motor would further allow the company to advertise a long list of added benefits.

This tidbit, however, is not in line with any of the recent rumors surrounding the revised tablet computer and can, in fact, be simply a mislabeled iPhone part.

One of the sources eager to report on thee findings appropriately points out that the same hardware supplier posted a video in January which purported to depict iPhone 5 parts.

The video was subsequently removed at Apple’s request.

It was since reposted, although it was recently confirmed that the footage actually showed parts typical to the newly released CDMA iPhone 4 (on Verizon’s network).

Globaldirectparts advertises its business claiming to offer both OEM and Aftermarket Parts, while never selling an OEM component substituting it with an aftermarket component.
