[TruckWEB]

Yep, Retina Display....! 2048x1536

[Jan Veteran]

Retina Display!

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Retina Display

[br0adband]

"It's 2048 x 1536, sure enough. That's 3.1 million pixels. "The most ever in a mobile device."

Sorry, Phil, but I've got a ThinkPad T60 here with 2048x1536 QXVGA resolution and I've had it for about 5 years now.

Apple, once again behind the curve and claiming credit for stuff that's existed for years... what a bunch of maroons. :/

[TruckWEB]

A5X, Quad-Core GPU!

4 time better than a Tegra 3 ??? Where is the benchmark?

[Muhammad Farrukh]

We're looking at 264ppi "and that is enough to call it a retina display."

[The_Observer]

Quad Core Graphics A5x

[Muhammad Farrukh]

It's 2048 x 1536, sure enough. That's 3.1 million pixels. "The most ever in a mobile device."

A5X processor is confirmed, quad-core graphics!

Phil said "mobile device". That's a phone/tablet not a notebook.

[Pow]

A5X processor, Retina display (2048 etc etc pixels) - A5X processor. x = quad core graphics!

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Comparing to a Tegra 3, Apple says the A5 is "twice as fast" and the A5X offers "four times the? performance." Not sure of the benchmark here, folks.

Sorry, wrong answer. If you believe notebooks and laptops aren't mobile devices, you've got bigger problems.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Next feature: iSight camera.

[Roger H. Veteran]

Still bored so far, not trolling but i'm waiting for something super exciting to pop! So far it's kinda like ok, retina display, ok cool (Y) but i need more excitment!

[Muhammad Farrukh]

[TruckWEB]

At bit of a let down.... 5mpixels camera, same as the iPhone 4S... Was hopping for better...!!!

1080p video recording.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

5-megapixel backside illuminated sensor on the back, 5-element lens, IR filter, and ISP built into ?the A5X chip.

Auto-exposure, auto-focus, we're looking at pictures from the beach.

Third feature: 1080p video recording. No big shocker there. "Wherever you are, you want to grab a? video for work or play or school you've got a great camera to grab that with."

Fourth feature: voice dictation.

"The iPad like all great iOS devices has a great keyboard and now you'll see there's a new key on the bottom: a microphone."

If the images aren't that noisy then perhaps it's not so bad. Hoping for a much better improvement than the existing camera on the iPad/2.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Supports US English, British, Australian, French, German and Japanese.

[TruckWEB]

Voice dictation..... But it's not Siri....

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Fifth feature: 4G LTE!

New iPad nwo has 21Mbps HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA at 42Mbps, with LTE taking the cake at 73Mbps.

[Macsen]

Sorry, Phil, but I've got a ThinkPad T60 here with 2048x1536 QXVGA resolution and I've had it for about 5 years now.

But is it a touch screen, and is it a tablet?

[TruckWEB]

Still waiting on the "touch" part of the event..... LOL :D

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Now, Vimeo on both players, looking at BIRD film.

It's buffering hugely quickly on LTE, no shocker there. Birds are eating seeds, walking about.

[Macsen]

Still waiting on the "touch" part of the event..... LOL :D

You mean the part that everyone but Apple expects, like the iPhone 5?
