Whether you’re still trying to figure out <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/08/which-ipad-3-should-i-get/">which model to get</a> and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/14/where-to-buy-new-ipad-3/">where to buy one</a> or you just want to pass the time until the FedEx truck arrives this Friday, take a peak at a handful of reviews below.</p> <p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/14/2870533/ipad-review">TheVerge</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Let’s be clear: the new iPad is in a class by itself, just as its predecessor was. As the latest product in a lineage of devices that defined this category, the iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition. With the addition of the Retina display, LTE, more memory, and a more powerful CPU, Apple has absolutely held onto the iPad’s market position as the dominant player and product to beat. </p> <p>…The new iPad is the most functional, usable, and beautiful tablet that any company has ever produced. </p></blockquote> <p><iframe width="620" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y9Oy6S3_xPY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/14/the-new-ipad-review/">TechCrunch</a> loves it:</p> <blockquote><p>If you’re at all interested in LTE in an Apple product, obviously, get a new iPad. If you read a lot on your iPad, get the new iPad. If you take a lot of photos and videos (yeah you, the joker in the front row of the concert with your iPad in the air), get the new iPad. If you play a lot of games on the iPad, get the new iPad.</p> <p>If you don’t yet have an iPad, get the new iPad.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/9144168/Apple-iPad-review.html">Telegraph</a> loves the screen and proclaims it the best tablet on the market:</p> <blockquote><p>If you have been holding off getting a tablet then this is the one to go for. In my view, it’s the best that money can buy. Existing iPad owners who are thinking of upgrading should take a look at this new device. You’ll see the difference very, very clearly indeed.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://daringfireball.net/2012/03/ipad_3">DaringFireball</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>The retina display is amazing, everything in the UI feels faster, and the price points remain the same. What’s not to love? It’s that simple. </p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/15/technology/personaltech/the-new-ipad-is-much-the-same-only-better.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all">New York Times</a> provides the most critical review, though it’s still overall positive:</p> <blockquote><p>The new iPad doesn’t introduce anything that we haven’t seen before, either in the iPhone or in rival tablets. There’s no Steve Jobs “one more thing” moment here; Apple just took its white-hot iPad and added the latest screen, battery and cellular technologies.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.macworld.com/article/1165849/review_the_third_generation_ipad.html?utm_source=READER-LKADJ3AFAKK3K1HAJJK1KJ1KAKJ3K11JK12JKKAJK2KJK1J1K1JK2J1KJZKAJK2J1K1K1JKZJKJ21KK1KAJK1KJ2K1JK1JA#/123/123/213/123/123/123/123/123/123/123/123/21/12/123/132">MacWorld</a> suggests users of the iPad 2 will be fine without upgrading, as long as they don’t see the new Retina screen:</p> <blockquote><p>The new iPad is just that: The iPad, updated for a new year and millions of new iPad users. It’s not smaller or lighter, but it’s got a remarkable screen, a much better rear camera, and support for cellular networking that can run at Wi-Fi speeds. It’s the iPad that millions of people have embraced, only one year better.</p> <p>Users of the iPad 2 shouldn’t fret: Their iPad investment is certainly good for another year. But they might not want to look too closely at the new iPad’s screen. Once you get a load of that Retina display, it’s hard to go back to anything else.</p></blockquote> <p><iframe width="620" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NBBXQoSuxn8?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wG47ZDDP9hGkATs4dBGqCsLi_qM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wG47ZDDP9hGkATs4dBGqCsLi_qM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wG47ZDDP9hGkATs4dBGqCsLi_qM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/wG47ZDDP9hGkATs4dBGqCsLi_qM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=tC73go-ZKFU:LFY3Hgdt9DU:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/tC73go-ZKFU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
