The good Apples new iPad includes a stunning new screen, matched by a quad-core graphic processor and the worlds largest app and media store to feed it content. Theres a proper 5-megapixel rear camera now, with 1080p recording quality. Optional 4G data from AT& T and Verizon afford an uncompromising mobile experience.
The bad The new iPad is slightly heavier than last years model; apps and movies optimized for the screen might take up more space; and ports for HDMI, USB, and SD require adapters.
The bottom line With a host of improvements-faster graphics, 4G wireless options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen-the latest iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack.
