Tim Cook unveils iPad 3.
Apple CEO Tim Cook today unveiled the iPad 3, the third generation of the Apple's popular tablet series, the iPad. The iPad was unveiled in San Francisco at 10 am PST. The changes found in this generation are in the screen resolution, the OS and the processor.
Apple today announced a new iPad 3 to replace iPad 2. The new tablet has a 9.7-inch 'retina display' with 2047 x 1536 pixels and is powered by A5X, a processor with two CPU cores and four GPU cores. The new iPad will go on sale on March 16 with price starting from $499 in the US and nine other countries. The sale in India is belated.
The tablet supports 4G LTE connectivity and HSDPA. However, despite LTE being a more power-hungry technology, Apple said that the iPad would still offer at least nine hours of battery life.
The tablet also comes with an improved rear camera that will be able to record full HD (1080P) videos.
At the event in San Francisco, Apple also announced availability of iOS 5.1, an updated version of the OS that powers iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
"Everyone's been wondering who will come out with a tablet that is better than the iPad 2? Everyone's been wondering this," said Tim Cook "Well, stop wondering. We are."
