The New Ipad Boasts A Number Of New Features.
The new retina display is the clearly the key aspect of the device with an impressive 2048 x 1536 resolution, double to that of the original iPad. . Apple says the retina display resolution is higher than most high-definition televisions.
The new iPad has a significantly upgraded camera. It features some of the same technology used in the iPhone 4S, but in a 5-megapixel lens with backside-illuminated sensor. Up from the paltry 0.7-megapixel camera on the iPad 2, the new iPad’s camera now doubles as a full HD 1080p video recorder, though the front-facing camera disappointingly remains VGA.

The new iPad is powered by Apple’s new A5X dual-core processor, which claims improved graphics performance thanks to a quad-core GPU.
Two new software features of the new iPad demoed by Apple at the launch event are voice dictation and the ability to act as a personal Wi-Fi hotspot. Voice dictation isn’t the fully featured Siri as most predictions expected: it’s simply a text-to-speech option that will dictate your voice. It’s activated by pressing a microphone button on the new iPad’s touch screen keyboard.
Also part of iOS 5.1 is the ability to share the new iPad’s Internet connection with other devices in the form of a personal Wi-Fi hotspot. The new iPad will also be compatible with iPhoto, a new app specifically designed for the iPad. It allows users to browse, edit and add effects to photos.
