      All the android fans should read this what Apple said in their new commercial: "We think technology is best when it's invisible"

      That's key element with iOS devices, apple sell things which you can do with that technology and not trying to sell the technology itself like others do.

      That makes huge difference and is the one reason why apple sells so much and others not that much.

I need to be able to share information directly to other members of my team without having to go through iTunes, and I need a Wacom active pen system to utilize sketching apps properly.

          I would have been impressed if they came out with Super AMOLED HD screen with a high resolution density. No real wow factor as an 800 by 1280 resolution is more than enough to trick your eye-brain to see a smooth picture definition.

            Maybe they just called it iPad because it is about as fat as the first one.. Come on apple transformer prime Infinity is thinner and specs and cameras and screen are close not to mention they got a micro sd card slot in. Plus the 18 hour battery

              now we can guess what iPad 4 will be:
              Same as ipad 2 and 3 BUT with a better sound quality (and maybe a little heavier)!!! i think i'll wait for that one...

                What? no stylus, no USB port and no card slot? Graphics and display resolution, albeit amazing, is not all what consumers want...

                    Anonymous, 07 Mar 2012good! is there any tablet on d market now which has quad co... moreNO!! There isn't...because:

                    There are tablets with 12 GPU cores!!!!!!!!!!!
                    ...and 4 CPU co...erm actually 5 CPU cores!!!!!!!!!!

                    ASUS's Transformer Prime! Apple's figures are misleading and inaccurate. It is a marketing strategy they use to lure people into thinking that the values shown properly represent the respective tablets...

                    ...AKA, When testing, Apple purposely down play the performance of their competitors (by bogging them down with many apps before testing). AND ALSO, even if the figures were accurate, ~50% of the GPU will be used to drive the Retina Display...MEANING, ~50% will be available for apps...SO, it is actually no better than the iPad 2!

                    HENCE, even though the "new" GPU is powerful, it is only as good as the competitors because most of its power is used in the display!!!

                    L O G I C + F A C T S ! ! !

                    It is still an AMAZING product! I'm definitely buying one...for that Gorgeous Retina Display :)

                        Amazing machine apple has launched. The ios experience is superior to any other operating system out there. Android is no match to it, specs play no role when comparing other products to apple's offerings. Go pickup up any android tablet and the ipad for a hands on experience, the galaxy series from Samsung cant even come close including the most polished tables such as the asus transformer line. Android has a place on the market for people that dont have the income to support purchasing apple products or people that dont want to be labled as fanboys.

                                  for everyone critising ipad retina screen, point me out any non ipad with retina resolution. android phones took a year to release android phone with retina screen. apple is always ahead of d game
