The new iPad


2 am Philippine time, announcements for the new iPad began. I followed websites such as Gizmodo, Engadget and Reuters to follow the news. Before going into the new iPad they first announced things about Apple TV, iCloud and how much iPad2s they were able to sell.

Moving on.

This new iPad basically bragged about the amount of pixels it is able to hold together. True enough, the display looks quite amazing. Add to that Retina Display, which the iPhone 4s has. Here are some of the other features the new iPad gained.


This new iPad is compatible to all sorts of bands. The fastest of which is the 4g LTE. Sad news for us, there are no carriers supporting it yet in our country. One of the things that amazed me, or to be exact the most amazing thing, I found worth pointing out was the iPhoto application. Looking at the features it included the iPhoto included it seems that it is one heavy application for mobile photo editing. Kudos to the new iPad for being able to run such an app.

Personally, I am not a fan of Apple and their products. The only Apple product I own is the iPod 3rd Gen which I am already too happy to live with. On the other hand, my brother owns an iPod Touch and our family shares an iPad2. I would not suggest rushing to buy the new iPad unless you are able to distinguish with your keen eyesight all those tiny pixels.

Gizmodo has provided a comparison of tablets released or to be released that may have fighting chance against the new iPad. Asus' Transformer Infinity seems to be its top competitor, beaten by a few pixels.
