  • Amazing display
  • LTE speeds
  • Comparable battery life with LTE

The editors didn't like

  • Only Verizon iPad offers wireless hotspot feature for now
  • AT&T may be coming soon
  • Nearly all updates to tech specs are used to beef up the "retina" display
  • Very few performance improvements over the iPad 2 otherwise
  • Still no Siri
  • Despite dictation su
  • The iPad remains a closed device on many levels and that's something you must live with once you enter Apple's world
  • IOS lacking some features
  • If you don't care for Retina or LTE
  • It's not a compelling upgrade over the iPad 2
  • Thicker and heavier
  • Runs a little warmer than the iPad 2
  • STILL no Flash video support
  • Slightly more sluggish power-up/-down than before
  • More things = bigger battery
  • Runs a bit warmer
  • Extra thickness makes some iPad 2 accessories incompatible
  • Comparatively little on-board storage
  • Especially for a HD-media-oriented device
  • Front facing camera still only VGA quality Look and Feel...
  • No real gain to main CPU performance
  • Signficantly longer charging time
  • 16GB a tight fit for growing apps
  • Anemic front camera
  • No Siri (yet)
  • 4G won't work in the UK
  • 16GB storage will fill up very quickly
  • No strong reason for most earlier iPad owners to upgrade
  • No Siri personal-assistant feature
  • HDMI
  • SD-card adapters cost extra
  • Still lacking Flash support
  • USB port
  • Or built-in card slot
  • Slightly increased weight
  • IOS 5.1 still lacks large-screen optimizations
  • Bottom left side gets warm
  • Can't FaceTime over 4G
  • 50MB limit for iTunes downloads over 4G
  • Front camera doesn't do HD
  • No innovations here
  • Just evolution
  • Still no microSD card slot
  • HDMI output
  • Or USB ports
  • FaceTime camera stinks
  • Slightly thicker and heavier (nitpicking here)
  • Thanks to that bigger battery
  • The iPad New lasts just as long as the iPad 2—an exactly-as-advertised 10 hours of real-world use and days upon days of standby time. But the differences end when charging time comes around. In our tests
  • It took up to twice
  • No camera settings. 4G data usage is difficult to monitor. Apps are starting to strain the processor
  • Largest tablet battery but also the biggest power drain and slowest recharge time

  • Processor heats up

  • No Siri
  • The new iPad is slightly heavier than last year's model
  • Apps and movies optimized for the screen might take up more space
  • And ports for HDMI
  • USB
  • And SD require adapters
  • Not enough noteworthy enhancements with iOS 5.1
  • 4G not available in UK yet
  • Lack of killer new feature means this isn't a must-have upgrade for Ipad 2 owners
  • But viewed as a standalone tablet it's the best around
  • Aside from the Retina display
  • The latest iPad lacks mindblowing new features that advance the state of the tablet art
  • No 128GB option
  • Slightly larger and heavier

  • The new iPad is slightly heavier than last year's model; apps and movies optimized for the screen might take up more space; and ports for HDMI, USB, and SD require adapters
  • 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....

  • Astoundingly clear screen; Dual-channel 3G is faster than you realise; Compatible with quite a few of the iPad 2 cases; Much improved camera
  • No LED flash for the rear camera; FaceTime front camera is still VGA; Can get a little warm
  • Apple has done it again with the new iPad, creating a tablet that sets the benchmark for all other brands. If a high-definition screen, a decent camera and fast data connectivity are all on your short list, then this is certainly the tablet for you.New ca...

  • This is a classic Apple piece of work, sleek smart and highly practicle. It hits all the right buttons which is what Apple is famous for.
  • It is not 4G and Apple with all their $97 Billion in the bank should have had a little respect for all the devotion that Australian consumers have given them in the past and gone out and delivered a 4G model that actually worked in Country. Samsung and HTC have taken the cost hit, why not Apple.
