The New iPad (iPad 3/iPad HD) Release date, Specs and more

The much (and exaggerated, may I say) wait is finally over, Apple has announced the new iPad (or more popularly known as the iPad 3.)

The looks did not change much from the iPad 2. 

Graphics has been improved though, the New iPad now boasting of a Retina Display with a 2048x1536 resolution. It means more vibrant and sharp graphics/picture display and a 44% better color resolution (no more visible pixels for you) on the screen.

Chipset has also been upgraded to a Quad-core CPU A5X, meaning a faster response time for the iPad (less lagging I hope.)

Now with a 5 megapixel (iSight) camera with face detection, auto-focus and white balance control.

One of the most important feature of the new iPad is the network upgrade to a 4G (better than the 3G). It only means we have an alternative and much faster connectivity other than wi-fi.

Availability:

Pre-ordering starts today on the oficial Apple website and it ships on March 16th to the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Australia, Singapore and Japan. The rest of Europe and New Zealand get the new iPad on March 23rd. (no news yet for the rest of Asia.)


The new iPad is available in Wifi version of 16g, 32g and 64g starting at $499 price tag. 4g version is also available starting at $899.

Another good news is that the iPad 2 is now selling for a much cheaper price (less than $100!!!) I think am gonna grab that offer now :-)
