does the ipad 3rd generation play 1080p movies?

I just bought an Ipad 3rd Generation, and an Apple customer service agent told me that the "New IPAD" does not support movie playback in 1080p. She went on to say that it is in the fine print, and that hopefully the next ipad will have this feature. What??? Is this true ?? This thing has a retina display how can it not play 1080p movies????


Does anyone have any more info on this?



Thank you
