The new iPad was unveiled by Tim Cook with much fanfare. However, it is hard to tell that anything special had been changed for the tablet. Apple even did not give it a number in its name this time, and most viewers are still calling it as the iPad 3. Apple says, “To make that hands-on experience even better, we made the fundamental elements of iPad better - the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All of which makes the new, third-generation iPad capable of so much more than you ever imagined”, but it seems the new iPad 3 does not satisfy those who would like more. Anyway, we have to admit that one big "improvement" of the new iPad is the screen, in specifications, the iPad 2 has 1024x768 pixels resolution on a 4:3 9.7-inch screen, giving it 132 pixels per inch (PPI). The new iPad has 2048x1536 pixels resolution at 264 pixels per inch (ppi), giving it four times as many pixels. Thus users are able to expect a much clearer experience when reading a book, viewing a movie, watching photos, and playing games. Apple points out that the new iPad 3 now supports playback of H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, so it’s good news for those people who would like to copy their purchased Blu-ray to the new iPad 3 for viewing on the go.
