What is the pest of the New iPad?
In case you had any doubts, Apple just unveiled at a media event in San Francisco the new iPad and boy does it have that ultra-high resolution display you have clamored for. Apple’s marketing honcho said, “Until you see it, you can’t understand how amazing it is.” The screen itself packs in a 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution, or 3.1 million pixels, for “the most ever in a mobile device.”
This screen resolution on a 9.7-inch display translates to a pixel density of 264 pixels per inch, which is less than the 326 pixels per inch on the iPhone 4/4S. However, when holding the device at 15 inches away (the iPhone is typically held at 10 inches away), your eye is unable to distinguish the individual pixels—hence the Retina moniker.
Another interesting aspect: With a 2048-by-1536-pixel resolution, the new iPad has a million more pixels than your HDTV. It also has 44 percent greater saturation. Moreover, Apple upgraded the processor with quad-core graphics, naming the enhanced chip the “A5X.” to drive all those pixels. Executives bragged on stage that the device has more memory and a higher screen resolution than an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 console.
Another feature of the new iPad is a redesigned camera system that
seems to borrow heavily from both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. Gone are
the poor man’s backside camera on iPad 2. The new iPad boasts Apple’s
proven camera system design featured on iPhone 4S.
On the back is the new iSight camera with a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor. It’s got a number of iPhone 4S features, including backside illumination, auto-exposure, auto-focus, face detection in still images, video stabilization, a fifth lens and hybrid IR filter. This crazy camera hardware is driven by an Apple-designed image processor built into the A5X chip. Oh, in case you were wondering – yes, it records video in full HD 1080p resolution at up to 30 seconds with stereo audio.
As for the front-facing videoconferencing camera, it is the same “FaceTime camera with VGA-quality photos and video at up to 30 frames per second”.
The fourth feature highlighted with the new iPad is voice
dictation—definitely a taste of Siri. It supports U.S. English, British,
Australian, French, German and Japanese:

“The iPad, like all great iOS devices, has a great keyboard. And now you’ll see there’s a new key on the bottom: a microphone,” announced Apple exec Phil Schiller.
