The New iPad: I'm Impressed

If you didn't already know "The New iPad" came out yesterday. It includes a brand new retina display, with about 3 million pixels. It has the same AMD dual-core processor, which is slightly disappointing, but the quad-core graphics make up for it in numbers. I saw a game being played on "The New iPad", it placed the user in the cockpit of a fighter jet. It was awesome, it looked like a console game being played on a tablet.

These new features give a new identity to the iPad in my opinion. I used to think of the iPad as just a web-browsing, multimedia device. Now I think it can compete with the PSP Vita and Nintendo DS. After all, with graphics better than both of those systems, "The New iPad" might just be the new king of portable gaming.

The last topic I would like to touch on about the third generation iPad is the front-facing camera. The rear facing camera is a 1080p 5 megapixel camera, which is solid. The front facing camera is VGA, need I say more? I realize that Apple sincerely believes people walk around with their iPad shooting video, but come on Apple, can you make the front facing camera the good one? Is that too much to ask? This may be nit-picking, but wait until you hear the name of the camera.(yes, they did name a camera on a tablet) They call it the "iSight". I don't need to explain the issue here.
