Title: iPad 3 Announced
Post by: slinky on Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 18:48:34
Apple keynote has just announced the launch of the iPad 3 along with the new Apple TV 3.  Key features of the iPad are a higher resolution Retina display and a more powerful A5X processor.  The Apple TV now supports 1080p resolution and the interface has a greater IOS feel about it.

Pr-orders start today for a 16th March release date.

Pricing structure looks the same as it was for the iPad 2 so the base model should start at £399 although I'm guessing.  Price in US which have been announced is $499.

Adobe have stopped flash support for mobile devices the future is HTML 5 so I wouldn't let flash support or lack of it be the deciding factor.

Sky Go is now available on Android.

Bin the iPad and get yourself a Motorola Xoom or Asus Transformer.

Slinky = Johnny? If not what happened to Johnny?

Sky Go is now available on Android.

Not officially supported on Android tablets is it? Nor ICS yet. Nor most mobiles.

I assume you can get round it like I did for my phone by installing the test app.

I personally think Apple have made a big mistake. They needed radical changes to keep ahead of the market, especially with new tablets coming out this year. To me there isn't much difference between the new one and the ipad2 - nothing worth the release though.
