As expected, Apple today announced the iPad 3, simply dubbed "the new iPad" by Apple, featuring the following:
- HD retina display at 2048x1536 resolution (that's 3.1 megapixels!)
- A5X processor with quad-core graphics
- 5 megapixel camera
- 4G LTE replacing 3G
The 4G connectivity in the new iPad is the first time the technology has made it into an Apple product, making download speeds of up to 73Mbps possible while on the move.
All this new technology hasn't hampered battery performance, which remains at a quoted 10 hours, but the iPad has gained a bit of weight, clocking in at 1.4 pounds.
Apple is still keeping the iPad 2 in the line-up as a relatively cheap entry level option, retailing at $399 for the 16GB Wi-Fi version.
