Since Apple launched the first iPad in 2012, the tablet market has evolved rapidly. While tablets were nothing new, the original iPad was the first serious tablet to be built around smartphone components and a user interface designed specifically for touchscreen input.
Whilst the iPad 2 is a tad thinner and lighter, the third generation model packs in some very impressive technology to justify the slightly bulkier frame and looks equally as appealing.
The Retina display has been touted by Apple and is a key feature of the iPad 3.
The 2048 x 1536 resolution on the iPad 3 is double that of the iPad 2 (1024 x 768) and it shows. The Retina display is extremely vibrant when displaying high-definition pictures and videos. One of the most noticeable features is the clarity of text – the lack of pixilation when reading e-books, web pages or zooming in on stocks is very impressive.
Just like the mobile phone, we thing this is one gadget that seem inspired by the Stark Trek TV series, but that was set in the 24th century. Does this mean that Apple might be close to building the Star Ship Enterprise?
