It’s finally here, the new iPad. Apple has introduced a new tablet of what appeared to be an upgrade from the best selling iPad 2.
So we didn’t end up getting some sort of like a smart-phone that becomes a tablet but with it’s new ultra-sharp retina display is enough to make you blind for it’s beauty. Considering that most HD-TV run a resolution of 1920 x 1080, the new iPad which has 2048 x 1536 pixel retina – more the amount you will get at the palm of your hands. It’s almost like looking at a glossy magazine page.
Packed with an A5x processor, which includes a quad-core graphics module. The back camera for the tablet has a 5-megapixel with a side-illuminated sensor, a 5-element lens and an infrared filter (almost the same configuration as seen on iPhone 4s but with three fewer megapixels).
iSight Camera – video recording for the iPad is now available in 1080p with an in-built video stabilizer similarly found in the iPhone 4S.
With iPhoto for iPad, Apple promised multi-touch gesture editing, pro quality effects, brushes, and photo beaming to send high-res photos between your devices.
Apart from the major internal hardware upgrade, the new iPad’s operating system offers a new microphone button.
Apple says the new 4G LTE connectivity will give you 21Mbps on HSPA+ networks, 42Mbps on DC-HSDPA and 73Mbps on LTE. Of course, these speeds are theoretical. It will run on both AT&T and Verizon networks. According to Phil Schiller, the new model “has the most wireless bands that has ever shipped.”
Expected arrival date for the new iPad will be on March 16 but pre-order is already available at online through Apple Store. Starting price for 16GB are SGD $658, S$788 for 32GB and S$ 918 (Wi-Fi only). SGD $828 16GB, S$958 32GB, S$ 1,088 64GB for Wi-Fi +4G. Color are available in black and white.
