Viewing images on the new iPad is a real joy. Pictures come out in full resolution ( no downsizing) and at 1536 x 2048 it’s a real treat.The detail on screen is much higher than on the iPad 2 as a direct comparison showed.
The photos app on the iPad differs from the one in the iPhone in two key aspects. First, there’s the extra eye-candy - you can pinch-zoom your way back to gallery view here and into single photo view. There is also a small thumbnail bar at the bottom for quick picture scrolling.
