There were so much rumors about the new iPad which can be found all over the Internet but no one really guessed the name of the new iPad correctly which is just “The new iPad” instead of iPad 3 or iPad HD. I was actually excited on the announcement of the new iPad yesterday because my wife and I are sharing the first generation of iPad which we both find it a bit heavy and slow. I stayed up until nearly 3AM last night because I wanted to know what is new in the new iPad. If comparing The new iPad with iPad 1, there are definitely a lot of changes and it is worth the upgrade. However if I had the iPad 2, I may just continue using it until the fourth of fifth generation of iPad is out.
There are a couple of major updates on The new iPad such as the Retina Display which is four times more pixels than iPad 2 thanks to the new custom A5X chip with quad-core graphics. Everything looks and feels incredibly lifelike and perfectly detailed with razor-sharp text and richer colors. Next is the 5-megapixel iSight camera with advanced optics that lets you shoot gorgeous photos and 1080p HD video.There’s the 4G LTE connectivity, voice dictation (but not the voice action called Siri) and bluetooth 4.0 technology.
With all the upgrades, The new iPad still manages to maintain up to 10 hours of surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching video, or listening to music and up to 9 hours of surfing the web using cellular data network. The measurement of the new iPad is exactly the same as the previous generation except it is slightly thicker (+0.03′) and heavier (+0.11pounds).
People from United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia are able to pre-order the new iPad from Apple Store now and will be delivered on March 16. I guess we Malaysians will just have to wait for it. What do you think about The new iPad? Are you going to get one for yourself?
