The screen is bright and displays crisp details. The battery is average and can last for about 5 days of normal usage. The loudspeaker and the microphone is good. The aluminium back and glass panel on the front give it a good build quality and hefty feel.

Screen; Text input; Browsing the Internet; Camera is great; Smooth performance; no lag at all

Average battery life

Few gadgets have achieved the meteoric rise to iconic status as quickly as the iPad , and it certainly seems like more than a fair share of pop culture's most coveted gear has originated in Cupertino, California.

Jaw-dropping; knee-shaking; better-than-1080p video quality; Still/Video camera greatly improved; Fast 4G LTE data access (optional; requires monthly service

STILL no Flash video support; Slightly more sluggish power-up/-down than before

The New Apple Ipad This is something I always wanted – and the day I got it, it was amazing! I chose the Apple Ipad because its a simple reason – everyone had it and it was amazing. It was like me going heaven. It was packed and it was waiting for me to unleash what it had. The Apple Ipad is a 9.

Apple products are always loved for the class and elegance they bring to the table. The new IPad 3 is also a product that drives the point home. The device shows noticeable improvements over the previous versions.

Apple just made the new iPad official and it comes with a Retina Display that goes up to 2048 x 1536 resolution with a pixel density of 264ppi. Apple's existing apps will be scaled up to the high-res display and will be encouraging developers to do the same

+ Retina Display; + Tried and true design; + Good Battery life

With the new iPad Apple has once-again upped the ante in the tablet market, and pretty much ensured that every other tablet manufacturer is relegated for at least another year. Much has been written about the new iPad , and many reviews have focussed 'quite rightly' on the marvel of the Retina...

Fantastic Retina display, excellent 3G internet speeds (even without 4G), 10 hour battery life; still one of the most beautiful and functional devices on the market

Takes longer to charge up; no 4G network in the UK

Third time lucky – the New iPad is the best of the lot – with a wonderfully sharp Retina display and HD snapper

Super-sharp screen makes viewing games, films, photos and the net vastly improved; improved snapper; wonderful software and hardware design; a choice of 200,000 apps optimised for iPad

Not much storage included; front-facing VGA snapper

Faster graphics and a good camera at last, but the groundbreaking screen alone is reason to splash out – it's a genuine leap forward

The most obvious selling point of the new iPad is its super high-resolution screen, which has four times as many pixels as the previous model iPad 2, but it's a difference you can't really appreciate until you see it in person.

Great device but very expensive for what it is. Tends to slow up on certain wi-fi spots. The email page can be a bit touchy and confusing.
