apple event Apple's iPad event - March 2012

[Muhammad Farrukh]

10 million customers for Autodesk on the desktop. "10s of millions" of new users on iOS for Autodesk products.

Although elementary it's genius how they stuck with dual cores but boasted on graphics

wait, so this thing isn't a quad core?

That's the way high-end graphics have been for years.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

[protocol7]

Are just movies getting the 1080p upgrade or does this also apply to TV shows?

[Muhammad Farrukh]

You can create paintings in SketchBook Pro and import them here to draw upon. On the left menu there? are drawing styles, on the right inks.

There's a new engine for ink that "takes advantage of the incredible graphics power of iPad."

It's resolution independent, so zoom in as far as you like, the flower he's drawing stays clean.

Can export images greater than 100 megapixels!

Available in April, exclusive on iOS.

"Retina display is luscious. It takes it to the next level and creates an immersive environment.? Professionals and everyday artists are going to love this device."

[Denis W. Veteran]

About the quad core graphics... would it happen to be the same GPU as the PS Vita (SGX543MP4+)? So essentially the iPhone 4S's GPU's quad core brother.

[Motoko.]

wait, so this thing isn't a quad core?

it's a quad core on the graphics but a dual core cpu.

[TruckWEB]

How much RAM does the new iPad have? I bet it must use more to have those retina apps....

[rajputwarrior]

what do they mean by quad core graphics. it's not a quad cpu? i though all these portable devices had like "apus" going on where the cpu did both?

so what is the difference between this and a tegra 2/3 hardware devices?

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Infinity Blade: Dungeons.

[Rudy]

Honestly all of the high end specs in the world cannot make up the fact virtual analog sticks suck for gaming, which is the main reason I purchased an iPad 2. I know controllers can be hooked up to it, but then that kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a mobile device now doesn't it?

Also, I wonder if any of the games are actually the native resolution. A high end graphics card in a desktop would have issues pushing out that resolution natively, so I have to imagine the games are being up-scaled.

I agree, it's the only thing keeping me from buying one for sure

[Muhammad Farrukh]

You're on a quest to craft the "ultimate weapon" -- the Infinity Blade.

We have HDR graphics and tone-mapping. Looks of beautiful lighting and action.

It's definitely a step up from the current Infinity Blade. With a you can connect enemies for a chain-attack.

He's saying this has more memory or screen resolution than either the Xbox 360 or the PS3.

"The Unreal engine is unleashing the power of the new iPad."

[Macsen]

Mike Capps of Epic Games just said "more memory and graphics processing than an XBOX 360." Whoa.

[Roger H. Veteran]

10:53AM - ?This new device has more memory and higher screen resolution than an Xbox 360 or PS3.? Hmm, interesting way of looking at it.

LOL: Here's something from Gizmodo: :rofl:

BUT CAN YOU PLAY HALO ON IT? NO.

(Y)

[Muhammad Farrukh]

And, by the way, this is just "new iPad." So much for the iPad HD talk...

And we're being attacked by a big, ugly fire-breathing spider... aww, end of demo. I hate? cliffhangers!

There'll be a new crafting system, dungeon crafting. "It's only going to look like this and play ?like this on the new iPad."

Coming soon!

10:53AM - ?This new device has more memory and higher screen resolution than an Xbox 360 or PS3.? Hmm, interesting way of looking at it.

Beat you :p

iWork will let you create "stunning" creations. $9.99 each still, free update if you've already purchased.

[TruckWEB]

I'm waiting for the "One more thing..."

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I am kinda disappointed as a whole.

Goin to sleep :s

[Macsen]

LOL at GarageBand. You can link up to four iPads and literally play as a band.

Schiller says the guitar player should've smashed his iPad. xD

[Denis W. Veteran]

I'm waiting for the "One more thing..."

It's called the iPad 3.

[Guest glyfz]

Nice (as expected) updates but haven't seen anything that matches what Tim says, "We are redefining the category that Apple created with the original iPad."

[Rudy]

I'm waiting for the "One more thing..."

I hope they'll do it and update the iMac....my credit card is literally in my hand

[Macsen]

You can shoot 1080p video directly into the iPad version of iMovie and work with it there.

[TruckWEB]

So : Retina Display, better iSight, better GPU (same dual core CPU but Quad-GPU) and 4G/LTE.

It's evolution.... But since I'm using the iPad 1, this will be a good upgrade!!!

[.Neo]

I'll be ordering a iPad 3 Wi-Fi 64 GB. (Y)
