iPad 3 Review

iPad 3 Review

as we know, iPad 3 will be launch early next year. mix reviews will bring you a full iPad 3 review as soon as the iPad 3 launches, but in the meant time there are a few things we know.

What’s New on iPad 3?

This, of course, is what everyone wants to know. First off, the simple things. The processor is faster. The RAM is bigger. The cameras are better. The battery life is longer. There is a model that supports Sprint 4G.

There’s a new side camera. What’s the reasoning for the side camera you ask? Well, it’s quite simple. Three cameras = three dimensions. That’s right, you can take 3D photos with the new IPad.

So, obviously if you can take 3D photos, you must be able to view 3D photos. Indeed this is true. And what’s even more impressive is that the user can view the 3D with or without 3D glasses, although the 3D with the glasses is much more impressive and expansive, particularly with one of Apple’s new add-ons.

The 3D add-on that users should anticipate the most is the head mount. This allows the used to attach the IPad to the head at a ratio that basically makes watching anything on it better than a movie screen so that the 3D completely surrounds and immerses the viewer. So far, Apple claims that it has two major movie studios signed on to provide content and two more in contract negotiations.

iPad 3 Appearance

For all intents and purposes, the IPad 3 looks exactly like the IPad 2. However, when measured, the IPad 3 is 1 millimeter thinner. It is also 2.5 ounces lighter. According to documents found on the IPad 3 itself, the tablet will come in six colors: white, black, steel blue, gray, cobalt, and tie-dye.

iPad 3 display

For instance, components orders from both screen and backlit units manufacturers strongly suggest that the iPad 3 will include a 9.7-inch high resolution (3048×1536) display. This is double the current screen resolution of the iPad 2 (1024×769). Indeed, there is a strong suggestion that the iPad will utilise LG Display’s Retina Display, and even some hints of a 3D screen, although we’d take that with a pinch of salt. HD is where it’s at for the next iPad.

iPad 3 camera

And for that high-definition display, expect a high-resolution camera to take images. The iPad 3 should be the first Apple tablet that can be your primary camera. It will have front- and rear-facing cameras, with the latter having an 8Mp sensor.

The downside is that the content will be exclusive to the IPad and will not be viewable on any other device.

Retina Scanning & Control

The one thing about the new IPad that will freak people out is one of the functions of the forward-facing camera and that’s the ability to do retina scans. What does this mean? Well, on a very basic level, it means that only a single user can access any IPad if that user sets up the retina scan feature. Turning the IPad on will require the proper retina.

The even bigger thing though, in my opinion, is the retina control feature. This feature allows the user to control a virtual mouse or virtual finger with the user’s eye. In other words, users will be able to use the IPad without actually touching the IPad. Basically, wherever you look on the IPad screen, the camera will recognize through the use of constant retina scanning. And just like clicking a mouse, one blink will control some functions while two blinks will control other functions. I’ve used it and it works amazingly well and is completely intuitive.

Brain Stem Add-On

This addition to the IPad is highly controversial and highly secretive, but the file on this tablet was extensive. For a fee equal to the cost of the IPad, Apple has arranged with several different insurance companies and several different medical groups to perform a short, outpatient surgery in which a small chip is placed in the user’s brain stem. This allows complete and total control of the IPad system either remotely or internally.

What I mean by “internally” is that although the IPad may be running remotely, the user can alter the visual interface from remote to internal, thereby giving the impression that the user is, for lack of a better term, inside the IPad itself. It’s kind of like watching an IPad movie in which the movie encompasses your entire field of vision. In some other ways, it’s like the movie “Tron” as the user literally feels inside the computer.

What can be controlled by this function? Well, right now the controls are fairly rudimentary. The user can manipulate things simply by thinking them and/or assigning thought commands. So, if you think of the word “double-click” for instance, the IPad will perform that function. Obviously, the potential for this technology is unbelievable, particularly in the field of gaming, though Apple swears that pornography applications will never be part of the mix.
