Ok, Apple fans out there… so there is no iPad3 right? The guys called it the New iPad. 😀 Like what we mentioned last night, it could be properly called the 3rd Gen. iPad.
So, let get down to the important specs since like the iPhone 4s – there were no change in the physical look. There were upgrade in the engine but not the body.
Here are my quick comparison of the 2 tablets.
| Specs | iPad2 | New iPad3 |
| Processor | 1GHz Apple A5 chip dual-core processor | Dual-core Apple A5X custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip with quad-core graphics
|
| Display |
9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology 1024-by-768-pixel resolution at 132 pixels per inch (ppi) Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating Support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously

Retina display
9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi) Fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating Support for display of multiple languages and characters simultaneously

| Camera | 720p Back Camera @ 30fps video recording VGA front-facing camera |
5-megapixel iSight camera |
| Price | USD399 (16G) | USD499(16G) |
Oh by the way, a Siri-sort of was also introduced here. It has 4G LTE, perfect for the Philippines since both Telcos are LTE ready now.
So there you go. Is it worth the upgrade? Are you keeping your iPad2 or start the Pre-order process now for the “New Ipad”?
Nice comparison! For the HD screen alone im sold with it
I can’t remember how many times I have seen this new gadget since yesterday. Is it a sign that I should buy one? haha 😛
still not into tablets maybe I’m still waiting for a model that will get my attention hehe.
maybe i should decide to buy me this gadget already… 🙂
grabe ang price… pangmayaman… kaming mga poor, sa imitation na lang…
Gian, not yet buddy.. No need for me right now. My iPad2 is still ok. 🙂 Ikaw?
Raffy, how are you getting your new iPad? Mag-order ka ba sa Singapore? Panalo ‘to men! Buti na lang nabenta ko na iPad ko 2 days before the annoucement.
Hehe, trending na ang iPad 3. The latest ipad will definitely conquer the market once again. Baka mawala na nang tuluyan sa eksena ang PC kahit na anong upgrades pa gawin ng Microsoft.
hmmn dami post about ipad ah, looks like this one gonna be hit again and then there will be another model to release
I think they did a great job in making the resolution bigger for the latest model. And as I’ve pointed out in similar posts out there, I would prefer a much higher-res camera with it, like 8mp or something in that range. That is one quick but concise table of comparison.. thanks!
Hahaha.. 🙂
sobrang quick ah. hehehe.
