New iPad 3 Unveiled

	New iPad 3 Unveiled Apple CEO Tim Cook and other company execs showed off the new iPad at a media event at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Calif. High-Resolution Retina Display As expected, the new iPad features a screen with roughly twice the resolution of the iPad 2. The Retina display, as Apple calls it, first debuted in the iPhone 4 and quickly drew raves for its crisp, detailed images. The iPad's 2048x1536 display makes it the first Apple tablet able to show movies in full HD. More Powerful Processor The new device also has an A5X processor with quad-core graphics. The added power will help keep the Retina display running smoothly. Speedy 4G Internet Connection Apple is offering a 4G connection through both AT&T and Verizon on its new iPad. It's the first Apple device to feature the fast wireless technology. Battery Life, Size, and Weight The new device can run for 10 hours, said Apple Vice President Phil Schiller. It will last nine hours when on 4G. It weighs 1.4 pounds, and is 9.4 mm thick. Pricing and Release Date The new iPad is available in several models. A basic 16GB model costs $499. 32GB is $599 and 64GB is $699. Models with 4G connections cost $629, $729, and $829, respectively. It will be available March 16.	From: SteviePAX Views: 18 1 ratings
