Why You Need The IPad 3 - A Thorough And Detailed Overview

By Roxie Diana


The anticipation is over! Apple has released the iPad 3, its latest and most innovative tablet computer which has been anticipated for many months. People like to guess what new features will be on the next iPad - this one was no different. If you are considering getting the new iPad, this review will help you make that decision as we go over whether or not it is a worthwhile tablet computer to own.



This new iPad, with the cursory glance, seems to be identical to the iPad 2 released not too long ago. The size, weight and shape is almost identical. Yet there are some significant differences that you can see as soon as you turn it on. The screen resolution, sitting at 2048 x 1536 resolution, has four times the pixels of the iPad 2, making it quite a sight to see. A significant issue with tablets is having the ability to see everything sharp and clear. This tablet makes it possible to see everything from videos to photos with the best resolution ever. Claiming to have the best resolution on any mobile device out there, this iPad from Apple certainly seems to have it. So if you truly care about visuals and imagery, the new iPad is an upgrade that far surpasses the iPad 2 and will impress you with no doubt.

If you like to watch movies, or listen to music, you can access everything that you have through your iPad with what is called iCloud. People that have iTunes can download things to their iPad such as movies or music. You can also choose from a large selection of TV shows to view. Another use of iCloud is making your photos available on your other devices. Your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad can all receive the same pictures using iCloud. It's that easy. You don't need to think - you just need to take pictures! No e-mailing or uploading required. Automatically, every app that you download will be distributed to all of your other devices. The iCloud does this for you. You can sync all of your Apple devices using iCloud - it really is that easy. When you don't want to type, you can use the new iPad dictation capabilities, by talking into it like a tape recorder. You simply tap the microphone icon and you can start talking, then tap it again to show you're finished. With the new iPad, it will automatically make text out of your spoken words. The uses of this feature are many, including dictating a simple note, writing any kind of document, or even writing a letter or paper. You can even use dictation to do web searches or to search for a destination you're looking for. Typing can get kind of old, so you might find it easy and fun to use dictation with your new iPad.

The new iPad can be used to navigate your way around, whether you're on foot or in your car. It's easy to find things, or go to places you have never been before. Ask it to find a "Italian restaurant" or "motel" and the Maps feature will get you there. You can get turn by turn instructions, or simply choose different routes to get to where you are going. A map view or a satellite view is available when trying to see your location. You can look at your destinations up close by zooming in. You can also e-mail where you are going to others, or send it via Twitter, to the destination of your choice. Regardless of where you are traveling, the iPad can be used as a GPS to help guide your way. There is a Game Center with the latest iPad where you can play games all different kinds. The high resolution display and powerful processor will enhance your experience while playing games on your iPad.

A great way to do video calls is with FaceTime on your iPad. You are able to switch back and forth between your new iPad's two cameras to show whatever you want to. When using FaceTime, use the front facing camera to show people your face. The iSight camera will show the scene you are looking at, so you can show the person you're talking to what's around you. To make FaceTime calls, you need an Apple ID, which you can get at the App Store or the iTunes Store. Using this feature on your iPad (or any other device that works with FaceTime) will be possible after you have the ID.

Apple products are very good, but if you are not a fan, you may not want to invest your money in this new iPad. Apple is sometimes regarded as a closed system, making many people upset. Apple has an App Store. So when you own an iPad, you can only buy apps from there. So if you get an iPad, and you try to use a program or app not made by Apple, it probably won't work. More than likely, if most of your devices come from Apple, you won't have a problem with this. If, however, you are thinking about buying your first Apple device, it's something you should be aware of.

The price of the new iPad is $500, which is not cheap when compared to other tablets on the market. If surfing the web is your primary daily activity, or perhaps using a word processor, you might want to consider getting a notebook instead of this expensive tablet. However, if you want to enjoy all of the features the iPad has to offer, and the convenience of the touchscreen, then the price will be worth it to you. There are fun features, along with a wide variety of useful ones, with the iPad 3. The latest version of Apple's creation shouldn't disappoint many people because of its great improvement. Traditional computers are still incompatible, and these iPads don't have Flash either, so be aware of that before you buy one. However, when you consider how much you can do with the new iPad, it's still a good value.

The iPad 3 is an upgraded version of an already impressive device. Leading the way in the tablet industry, Apple is the king without any doubt. There is no way around it - you can completely justify the cost of the new iPad based upon the features that it has to offer and the quality of the product that you will end up with, especially when compared to other tablets.
