iPad 3 Reviews Roundup
Early reviews of the new third generation iPad are starting to appear and they’re all pretty much glowing. Whether you’re still trying to figure out which model to get and where to buy one or you just want to pass the time until the FedEx truck arrives this Friday, take a peak at a handful of reviews below.
Let’s be clear: the new iPad is in a class by itself, just as its predecessor was. As the latest product in a lineage of devices that defined this category, the iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition. With the addition of the Retina display, LTE, more memory, and a more powerful CPU, Apple has absolutely held onto the iPad’s market position as the dominant player and product to beat.
…The new iPad is the most functional, usable, and beautiful tablet that any company has ever produced.
TechCrunch loves it:
If youâre at all interested in LTE in an Apple product, obviously, get a new iPad. If you read a lot on your iPad, get the new iPad. If you take a lot of photos and videos (yeah you, the joker in the front row of the concert with your iPad in the air), get the new iPad. If you play a lot of games on the iPad, get the new iPad.
If you donât yet have an iPad, get the new iPad.
Telegraph loves the screen and proclaims it the best tablet on the market:
If you have been holding off getting a tablet then this is the one to go for. In my view, it’s the best that money can buy. Existing iPad owners who are thinking of upgrading should take a look at this new device. You’ll see the difference very, very clearly indeed.
The retina display is amazing, everything in the UI feels faster, and the price points remain the same. Whatâs not to love? Itâs that simple.
New York Times provides the most critical review, though it’s still overall positive:
The new iPad doesnât introduce anything that we havenât seen before, either in the iPhone or in rival tablets. Thereâs no Steve Jobs âone more thingâ moment here; Apple just took its white-hot iPad and added the latest screen, battery and cellular technologies.
MacWorld suggests users of the iPad 2 will be fine without upgrading, as long as they don’t see the new Retina screen:
The new iPad is just that: The iPad, updated for a new year and millions of new iPad users. It’s not smaller or lighter, but it’s got a remarkable screen, a much better rear camera, and support for cellular networking that can run at Wi-Fi speeds. It’s the iPad that millions of people have embraced, only one year better.
Users of the iPad 2 shouldn’t fret: Their iPad investment is certainly good for another year. But they might not want to look too closely at the new iPad’s screen. Once you get a load of that Retina display, it’s hard to go back to anything else.
Your reviews come to me in Mac Mail. But, I guess that you SHOULD know that already, because your intended audience is MacOS X users, yes? Then, why, oh why, can’t I see the videos in my Mail reader? All I get is a black rectangle. Today, for the first time, I learned that I could see them in a browser by clicking on “Comment on this item” under the black rectangle. Could you at least do something to link the black rectangles to browsers? That would, at least, be intuitive, though not as good as making the videos viewable in Mail itself. Thanks!
