iPad 3's new features

posted by Ray S. / Mar 07, 2012, 3:36 PM

You've probably already heard that there's a new iPad on the block, but between all the information about release dates, prices, carriers and what not, you might have missed some of the most important stuff - the actual new features of this lovely tablet. In the gallery below, we're offering you a breakdown of all the new features of the tablet.

By the way, it's worth noting once again that the new iPad is actually called... iPad, and not iPad 3, or iPad HD. But we'll call it either "the new iPad" or "iPad 3" just to make things clearer. Anyways, enjoy the gallery, and feel free to share your thoughts about the new features in the comments below!

iPad 3's new features

Probably the most exciting new feature found with the new iPad is its Retina Display. The resolution is now incredibly high - 2048x1536, up from the iPad 1 and 2's 1024x768 px res. This is currently the highest resolution on any tablet out there, and by the looks of it, things will probably stay this way for a while. Of course, everything on the iPad will look much better now, including text, pictures, video and apps. Additionally, the screen has gotten a 44% increase in color saturation.

Now this is a tablet worth having. Up to this point, I never thought of them being good enough. IMHO!

I think that is because it is talking about the rear-facing camera, not the front-facing camera.

Nice try krApple with the "latest in wireless technology." You may be able to trick your sheep, but us smarter Droids have been use to 4G for a while now that its not just un-surprising, but its expected.
