The New iPad Review - Simply Amazing

I went to the Apple Store in Irvine Spectrum to check out the New iPad... Here are my observations (I own the original iPad, and have used the iPad 2 which I bought for my father):

1. I love the display... This is indeed the most beautiful display.  I checked out several high resolution photographs, and zoomed in several times to see whether the tiniest of details can be seen without getting pixelated. The New iPad portrays images with incredible depth. If you want to browse, preview or interact with high-res photos, art, images and more, the New iPad is the best tablet out there.

2. I love the camera... I captured some photos and also shot some videos.  The photos are looking way better than the iPad 2 and even better than my iPhone 4. The videos are shot in HD, and look great also. When you playback HD videos, two black bands appear on the top and the bottom; this happens because of the screen aspect ratio. Frankly, if you love taking photos and videos of your family, outdoors, and just about anything, this is a great reason to buy the New iPad. 

3. I love the performance... The New iPad is super fast, compared to the iPad and iPad 2. I would like to compare results from the speed test, but I could see that the apps load faster, perform better, and appear great owing to the high resolution. I downloaded the latest interactive iBook on Earth, and the experience of reading it and interacting with it was fast and awesome!

4. I love the apps... especially the ones that can now help you create and work with content, edit photos and videos, and even music i.e. iMovie, iPhoto, GarageBand. The productivity apps also performed well including Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Can the New iPad finally become a content creation device, and not just content viewing? This could be the clincher for Apple.

5. I love the connectivity... The 4G LTE and built in cellular antennas make this New iPad a Global iPad. The promise of being able to connect to any network in the world, whether its 4G or 3G, and on various technologies makes this iPad a blessing for world travelers. And the icing on the cake: You can use your iPad as a personal hotspot! So now you can connect your other devices over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB, and use the Internet at will.

There is a lot to love in the New iPad. The big question is whether to upgrade or not from your existing iPads? If you can find a buyer for your old iPad or can give it to a family member or friend (or even donate it to a school), by all means do that!! This New iPad is the most amazing iPad yet!!

Apple's New iPad is one of its best innovations, both for education and business, and is poised to expand the creativity and innovation among students and adults alike. It is quite possibly the funnest gadget!
