iPad 3 (The new iPad)

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 11:32 AM

.... being announced live right now!

From what's been announced so far it has a retina display that has 1 million more pixels than a 1080p HDTV. A5X quad-core processor that is twice as fast as a Tegra 3. Full 1080p video recording. Voice dictation.

All we know so far. SUPER stoked!

4G LTE!!!!

Like a boss

Makes me think I should've held off on buying my Ipad 2 back in December. I'm geeked about the new Apple TV, with 1080p support.

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 11:43 AM

Looks like the same price-point as current iPads. Pre-orders start today. I'm in!

irratebass · 03-07-2012, 11:45 AM

Is it a phone also? My contract is up on 3/18 and I am debating on what to get.

E.J. · 03-07-2012, 11:46 AM

Týr,

I have been refreshing the Apple Store regularly(it is down) to see when it comes up. Was hoping they'd do pre-order today, they announced it?

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 11:46 AM

Negative Ghost Rider. Not a phone.

Yes, they announced pre-orders today. Not sure when that's going live though

EDIT - they are currently displaying some of the new higher res content right now. Autodesk, Flight simulators, etc.

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 11:50 AM

One of the developers just called the Retina Display "luscious". Had to chuckle at that one

03-07-2012, 11:50 AM

I'll wait for iPad 4 to come out

elderboy02 · 03-07-2012, 11:50 AM

Doesn't sound like anything new that makes me want to upgrade. I'll keep my iPad2

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 11:51 AM

You guys can just follow my lead and upgrade everytime

Now they are demo-ing a new Infinity Blade. Damn! Its just as impressive as when the iPhone went to the Retina Display.

03-07-2012, 11:52 AM

Now maybe I'll get the Ipad2 if the price drops considerably. That's what I did with my iphone. When the 4S came out the price for the 4 dropped to pocket change prices so I got one.

benchmark comparisons for the processor? I mean legit ones, anything from a manufacture is always suspect.

It will probably be a little bit before we get those. They are still presenting it now. Hoping some of the attendees will get to demo them today so we can get accurate specs.

Devanmc · 03-07-2012, 11:58 AM

that would be nice. I wont buy one as i use and like android. but a decent leap in processing tech would be cool. That being said my first android phone was clocked faster then my first desktop computer(my 2009 motorola droid1). so

CigarNut · 03-07-2012, 12:01 PM

I can't wait -- I am stoked about the new iPad.

Have not seen the new name yet (iPad 3, iPad HD, etc.)...

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 12:02 PM

Engadget is speculating that its just going to be called the "new iPad". Interested in that as well.

LOL @ Devan. That sounds about right

shilala · 03-07-2012, 12:04 PM

Thanks, Tyr!!! I'll be ordering mine today, too.

LasciviousXXX · 03-07-2012, 12:06 PM

They are now demo-ing the new iPhoto on the iPad. The iPad supports up to 19 megapixel photos. They are currently editing a 12 megapixel photo shot with a Nikon D300S

EDIT - they already demoed the other new iLife apps which received minor tweaks.

smitdavi · 03-07-2012, 12:08 PM

I'm hoping the haptic feedback rumors are true. That would really make me go out and preorder one.
