Apple's iOS operating system is incredibly easy to use, but at this point it feels that it's lagging behind rivals, especially with Windows 8 on...

No FaceTime HD support; Front-facing camera still below average; Heavier and thicker than the iPad 2; Battery takes a long time to charge

Let's face the elephant in the room first. The 'New iPad Wi-Fi + 4G' as Apple calls it - I'll use iPad 3 - may be branded 4G but that's eff-all value to us Brits. The tablet's cellular radio doesn't work with the frequencies being proposed for UK 4G communications.

Apple's third generation iPad comes with several new features such as a Retina display, A5X processor with quad-core graphics and a 5-megapixel rear camera with advanced optics. Can Apple maintain its lead over the other Android tablets this year? Let's find out.

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
