The new iPad from Apple
All the users of iPad 2 and those who were interested in purchasing a tablet computer, were excited when Apple introduced the new ipad as an improved and advanced piece of modern technology. There are many articles written about the Retina display of the new edition of iPad and I am sure that everyone has a clue of the main improvement. The resolution on the ipad 3 is updated from the previous version and the apps have a better appearance. Since everyone talks about the display on the new Apple tablet, we will focus on the other details about this device in our article.
Voice dictation with the new iPad
Whenever the keyboard of the new tablet pops up, you are also able to use the option of voice dictation by hitting the microphone. What could be better than a hands-free input in a tablet? However, I have to say that after my experience with the new Apple tablet, this option is not well-developed. The voice dictation means that the user should be able to speak in order to directly input text, but I found that it wasn’t accurate with my tests. Basically – you will need to use short sentences with very clear voice if you want it to work well, but even then it can miss some occasional words. I tested this feature in quiet environments but the result wasn’t much better. It does OK with short sentences, but just in case – don’t rely on it too much and continue using the touch keypad. This is a feature that Apple needs to develop and make it much better for their next iPad version. After all, the ipad price includes many great features, so it wouldn’t be fair from our side to say that this device isn’t worth it just because the voice dictation didn’t perform well.
The battery on ipad 3
The ipad 3 has a capacity of 42.5Wh, which is 70% more compared to the iPad 2 with the 25Wh. It is clear that there is a radical change in the battery technology because the tablet is not significantly thicker than the previous iPad edition. However, the battery life still claims the same ten hours, and my tests with both devices side by side showed this claim to be true. It is understandable that the extra pixels are using more energy overall. For all that capacity, the new tablet weighs more just slightly, almost insignificantly, which is pure remarkableness of the new ipad.
What is missing for the ipad price?
If you asked me what is still missing in the new ipad, I would mention that it still doesn’t provide an SD slot, or USB connection, or a direct HDMI out. It also misses the ability to play Flash or .AVI files. There isn’t an option to install an alternative virtual keyboard, like Swype for example. Apple also doesn’t allow you to browse the file system as an Android tablet does. The option of adding extra storage with an SD slot is also unavailable. If we were talking about a desktop computer, those missing options would’ve been a terrible disadvantage. However, all those functions are not seen by the buyers and by Apple as core to the function of the iPad. Overall – you get a solid tablet for the ipad price and I would definitely recommend this edition over the rest of the tablets on the market that I have tested.
