Is This The New iPad?

CNET did proclaimed about how the iPad 3 would look like. Some rumors turns out to be true but some didn't.

Apple announced a new iPad on March 7, 2012. Apple remains the same concept, its just an upgrade version of an iPad. Not much differents from the previous ones. They might not name it as an iPad 3 but "iPad HD". This is because there was rumors that the next iPad would feature a display with more pixels than previous models. But in fact, the new iPad would come with lower quality display than in iPhone4/4s. Apple argued that people are holding it 15-inches away from their face, but 10-inches for smaller devices like iPhone and iPod.

Now it's about the feature that Apple has never release new models which doesn't improve this feature. Better camera! Apple said that they might improve new camera by having 2 cameras on the new iPad like the iPad 2 but improve the front camera as an high-definition camera to work with facetime. The ones on the back would be improve too but still similar as on the iPhone. Slightly the new iPad would come with a larger camera hole.  New iPad comes with 5 mega pixels camera. They would lower the price of the new iPad around $299. Apple will still keep the iPad 2 model when the new models are released but they would keep only the 16gb model.

There are rumors about the new design of dock port but this is not true. Apple remains the same dock port. Which I think it is good because you may use it with the previous model of Apple including iPhone, iPad, iPod.

I confirm there would be some upgrades in features but don't wish to see much differents in it. Apple is still remaining to use the same concept. Not much change, not much new interesting features.
