How is that new Apple iPad?
The iPad is out and the reviews have started to come in. With a stellar new Retina 2048×1536 display, quad-core graphics and dual core processor, and a five megapixel camera, as well as 1080p movie shooting you are sure to be blown away.
There are a few comments coming out about the iPad getting very warm after extended use, as well as very slow charging time, even a reviewer that noted if the device was plugged into a USB port it would not charge at all. Just a few things to look out for when looking into the new iPad.
Beyond that its new capabilities and crystal clear display are sure to please any new owner.
