Apple’s New iPad Announced: Are You Defecting? [Poll]
Being the curious souls that we are, we just couldn’t resist following Apple’s iPad keynote today. They announced the third installment in the iPad line. Oh, by the way, it’s just “the new iPad” – no 3, no HD, no nothing. So what’s Apple baking into this product to entice users?
A ridiculous 2048×1536 Retina display, an A5X dual-core processor which has an upgraded GPU (they claim it’s twice as powerful as Tegra 3), the same 5 megapixel sensor found on the iPhone 4S, voice to text, 4G LTE, WiFi hotspot support and more. Battery life is still 10 hours, and running 4G LTE will only cost you an hour of that on a full charge. I can’t lie – all of that sounds amazing. And for the same pricing brackets as the iPad 1 and 2, it’s actually a bit attractive.
It’s going to be available March 16th – just over a week from now – and the moment of truth will dawn upon millions. Again, being the curious souls we’ve always been, we’re wondering if anyone is ready to defect to the pastures of the bitten fruit. It’s no secret that the Android tablet ecosystem isn’t at the same level as that of the iPad’s.
Despite there being a great selection of hardware to choose from on the Android side, apps do still matter. Let’s cut to the chase: are you buying or not? Do you currently have an Android tablet and are looking to switch? Are you new to the tablet game and are wondering whose side you should be on? Do you even care? Sound off in the comments section below and be sure to vote in the poll.
