Apple released the new iPad (iPad 3) on March 7 2012. So, what's new? Here is a quick summary of why it's better than the previous iPads and the implications for us in Australia.
(Much) higher resolution display
2048-by-1536 pixels – a million more pixels than an HDTV
Amazing clarity for text and photographs
Mossberg: "using the new display is like getting a new eyeglasses prescription"
Once you've used an iPad 3, it's hard to go back to an iPad 2.
Excellent battery life
Same 9 - 10 hours as iPad 2 (very hard to achieve on any laptop)
Amazing considering the new iPad has a faster procesdor, faster celluar communications and a higher resolution screen
Excellent camera
Same 5 megapixel camera as the iPhone 4/4S
There is no camera flash though
Faster cellular communciations
Supports the fastest networks (4G LTE) in the US & Canada
Incompatible with Telstra's 4G network because of the different frequencies
