iPad (2012 model): What’s hot and what’s not – Part 1

Apple announced the next generation of their flagship tablet, the new iPad, on March 07. The new instalment to the series lacks the numeric suffix in the label, for reason unfathomable, it has incorporated some features that have never been seen on any mobile electronic device so far.

The slate is less than a millimetre thicker than last year’s iPad 2 but still sports the consistent battery life and other features like Gyroscope and accelerometer. The thickness is negligible to the human eye but if you want to crack up  callipers on it than of course it is a hair’s breadth thicker than the predecessor.

However, that difference in size does not fend off the casings of the last instalment to fit on the 2012 model. Most of them would fit just perfectly on the new one. Moreover, the screen shield-cum-stand that came with the iPad 2 is also available with the new one.

The structure has the same standard feature that could be found on the older siblings before it. The right edge boasts a volume rocker accompanied by a silent button. The bottom of the screen has a single signature toggle button that returns the user to home screen and back to main screens of apps in some cases.

The upper edge has sleep/wake-up button and 3.5mm headset holster, while bottom of the device houses a 30-pin iPad port for connectivity to PC/Mac and charging. There are two cameras, one at the rear-end and one in the front for FaceTime chat.

Speaking of which, one of the most amazing thing about the new iPad is the revamped camera at the rear-end. There is not improvement to the front facing snapper, but primary camera has been upgraded to 5-mega pixels with 1080p video quality alongside video stabilization.
