First things first, I agree with one article I read that states we should just call the 'new iPad' the iPad 3. If everyone does it then it'll all make sense.
So, the iPad 3, a brief rundown:
- Retina display (HD for us commoners)
- A5 processor
- Slightly heavier and thicker
- ios 5
- Voice assistant (note: not Siri)
That's pretty much it..nothing overly exiting to be honest with you. Fair enough it will be faster and look better, but functionality hasn't really changed. Also the addition of a voice assistant instead of Siri suggests that Siri wasn't as successful as hoped! Plus the fact that the device is actually thicker and heavier, not a good sign considering my Samsung Tab feels a bit weighty after holding it for a while and that's lighter than the iPad 2!
To be fair to Apple though, there hasn't really been anything groundbreaking coming from the Android side of things either, although after having a play with the new Asus Transformer, I am convinced that this is quite possibly better than the iPad 3, especially for a power user. At least the price is the same as the previous rendition.
