Guess, what tablet will be the killer of Apple's iPad? Our geeks say - next New iPad. Surprised? OK, whether Apple's competitors like it or do not, we face the iPad's world . Every next generation of iPad brings changes in physical and technical characteristics of this remarkable gadget , the only device that deserves to be called tablet at the moment, we are bold to say. However should you have an itch for the newest one? We think that you should answer this question by yourself. Anyway, our geeks have build an iPad technical specs matrix to help you to find differences between New iPad (unofficially called iPad 3) and previous version of ipad, that is iPad 2. Using Geekbench 2 our geeks has benchmarked iPad 3 against iPad2. In a nutshell, the speed and performance of iPad 3 (gaining the average score of 772 points in benchmark) is approximately equal to that one shown by iPad 2 (749 points in benchmark). Significant difference, that comes from the new quad-GPU, is noticeable only in the apps (like games) that are avid for graphics. When running, iPad3 is noticeably hotter than its predecessor. This "overheating" is not critical and may be mitigated by decreasing the brightness of iPad3 display. We would recommend to run iPad3 at about 30 - 40 % of its full brightness. So, what's the most remarkable thing about the New iPad? Do you still think about its retina display? We can argue it is not. No doubt HD-quality display makes iPad more attractive to look at . But, it requires considerably heavier files pertaining to graphics in all apps adopted to this display. The real streak of new iPad is 1GB DRAM that improves its performance against iPad 2, let alone the original ipad 1. However , to be fair, the most of iPad's 3 surplus DRAM is largely consumed by high-resolution display. Also worth a highlight the Bluetooth 4.0 Smart Ready connectivity feature of new iPad that adds value for remote-monitoring medical apps that can communicate with relevant sensors. Owners of the iPad 1 may decide to upgrade from their older model. As to ipad 2 the difference between the iPad 2 and new iPad is not too dramatic, its screen though not HD looks great, the performance is better than the iPad 1, and probably the best choice is to dream about next New ipad which is expected to hit the market in 2013. For those who were only dreaming about tablets we would certainly recommend to take steps into this post-PC territory and buy iPad 3.
