All about Apple's new iPad

With a quad-core graphics processor and 1GB RAM, games and movies play smoothly on the new tablet, and the retina display with very high resolution adds to the experience.

The new iPad lands in stores on April 27, and all those who haven’t got an iPad or a tablet PC yet, but are considering to buy the device, could go and try the third-generation model that goes on sale on Friday. Like every other Apple device, the new iPad is anything but cheap. The new iPad Wi-Fi models, available in black or white, start at Rs 30,500 (including VAT) for the 16GB,Where to buy or purchase plasticmoulds for precast and wetcast concrete? Rs 36,500 for the 32GB and Rs 42,500 for the 64GB. Mind you, these are Wi-FI models, which means you need to have a Wi-Fi connection around you at all times to be able to put this tablet to good use. The iPad Wi-Fi & 4G iPad cost Rs 38,900 for 16GB, Rs 44,900 for the 32GB and Rs 50,900 for the 64GB.

The new tablet is practically indistinguishable from its predecessor, the iPad 2. There’s the 9.7-inch display, home button and camera on the front, a 30-pin connector at the bottom, power and headphone jack on top, orientation lock switch and volume rocker on the right and an aluminum back, speaker port and camera on the rear. The new model weighs about 50 grammes more than iPad 2 and yet it is the slickest tablets out there.

There are some very practical reasons why Apple has added to iPad’s weight. First, there’s a 70 per cent larger battery inside the new iPad (42.5-watt-hour versus 25-watt-hour in the iPad 2) which gives 10 hours of battery life while surfing the web on Wi-Fi and an estimated 9 hours of runtime on a cellular data network.

It’s easy to forget all about the extra weight on the new iPad and focus on its big positive — the big graphical improvements. Apple takes screen quality to a new high with the Retina display (as on iPhone 4). By Apple’s calculations, the new iPad offers four times the resolution of its predecessor (iPad 2 has 1024x768 pixel resolution). That’s why the new iPad requires a significant boost in horsepower (read CPU) to maintain that pixel density and a bigger battery.

So, Apple has got a new A5X processor. Argubaly, it is essentially identical to the older A5 in iPad 2, with dual core ARM Cortex A9s running at 1GHz.

With a quad-core graphics processor and 1GB of RAM, games and movies fly on the new iPad.

All this simply translates into much sharper and clearer text and images. Another area where the Retina display shines is video playback. When playing the same video on an iPad 2 and a new iPad, the image on new iPad was brighter, more colorful and more detailed. The photographic experience on the iPad has been turned up too. Apple has junked the iPad 2’s primitive rear-facing camera in favor of a new five-megapixel sensor, plus optics and features borrowed from the iPhone 4S that include image stabilization and ability to shoot full high-definition video. Frills like dictation support may please some. The new iPad has a microphone icon on its virtual keyboard that can be pressed to dictate emails or other notes on the device. This feature requires user to speak slowly to get the dictation right and needs an internet connection.This page provides information about 'werkzeugbaus;Proxense's advanced handsfreeaccess technology.Where to buy or purchase plasticmoulds for precast and wetcast concrete?

Last year was big for Android tablets, but the iPad commands its own sweet spot in tablet market and in 2012 the battle is not just between iOS & Android tablets but also with tablets on Microsoft’s Windows 8 platform. Until then, the new iPad gets our thumbs up.
