Apple Unveils New iPad
adeelarshad82 writes "As expected, Apple announced the new iPad complete with a Retina Display, quad-core processor, 4G LTE, and an improved camera. The new iPad will run the rumored A5X processor, which according to Apple will provide four times the performance of the Tegra 3. The revamped tablet will also include a 2048-by-1536 display, apparently the most in any mobile device. And finally with 4G LTE, the new iPad will provide up to 73 Mbps download speeds; partners for which include Verizon, Rogers, Bell, Telus, and AT&T."

Amen. I'm a long time Apple fan - ran UNIX on my Mac II back in '89 and ever since - but if one has a laptop, I dunno why one would need a tablet. I don't see the point. But then again, I don't see the point of iPhones either. What I'd really like to see is an Apple-branded cell phone jammer.
I can just see it now. Taking home the new ipad3, turning it on for the first time, excited for the fast download speed and massive processor, and the first message that appears:
You have exceeded your bandwidth quota for the month. All network apps disabled

They have these things called "jobs." You should look into that.
Not any more. I'm surprised you didn't see the coverage. It was everywhere. I wish Dennis Ritchie had gotten as much.
Buy the latest model or be excommunicated and banned from the Store. Go forth and buy, my children.

No pun intended, but it'd make a great thin client alternative to a laptop.
Consider you had a "case" that you could dock the iPad to that had a battery, keyboard, mouse, charger, and possibly speakers. Combine some VPN software and RDP/VNC and it'd be pretty sweet for the occasional traveler.
Okay, I get that, but is the display really made from retinas? And whose retinas were those?
That's just crazy talk.

Well, this is the best and biggest iPad they've made, so the obvious choice is - The iPad Maxi !
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
Foxcomm employees, haven't you been watching the news?
Costello: What’s the name of the new iPad?
Abbott: The new iPad.
Costello: Yes, the name of the new iPad?
Abbott: The new iPad.
Costello: Yes, the device just released today by Apple.
Abbott: The new iPad.
Costello: I know! What’s the name of the new iPad?
Abbott: The new iPad.

Oh, I see you have the N900 model without the sarcasm detector. Shame.
No, he works at Foxcomm. :P
Yes, but then you'd have to carry around two laptops.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
Hmm, I was going to post a jocular response, but then remembered that these are real people with parents and siblings committing suicide that we're joking about.
That's just crazy talk.

This coming from a guy named "Americano". Hardly surprising.
If I mod you up, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with what you've said, sorry.
Well, it is an eyePad...

You can easily get two laptops for the price of one iPad.
Heck, in terms of mass - with those two $250 laptops you're getting 10-20x the value in kilograms/dollar!

You're holding them wrong.

I dodged that bullet. My mom got my daughter and american doll with matching pony. My daughter could car less, but that wouldn't be very likely.
OTOH, she loves her model rocket, and is looking forward to this summers robot building project.
so, what I am saying is.. I Win.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
Paying $600+ for iPad/case/keyboard combos versus $250 for the netbook makes good business sense how?
The iPad is a lot more usable than a netbook, because iPad software is tailored to the device.
Using a Netbook means you are generally running software that usually was built targeting a much more powerful system - yes it runs, but not well.
The iPad is also more durable and has a much better resale value. It makes no sense to me to spend $250 per year on a netbook when an iPad will last for three and you can sell it for $200 when you upgrade.

"The tablet comes in at 9.4mm and 1.4 pounds, and will be available in black and white. It's 9.5 inches high, 7.31 inches wide, and 0.37 inches deep."
So, a high resolution display, but monochrome. I will get an android tablet with a colour screen, thanks.
