The iPad 3, which Apple is really just calling the new iPad, is the third generation of this groundbreaking device. Apple is still considered to be the leader of tablets, even though many companies are now producing them. The question, many people have, though, is whether or not the new iPad is significantly different or superior to the iPad 2. In this review, we'll attempt to answer this question.
The new iPad uses iCloud to help you access many types of content you might want to watch or listen to. So if you have iTunes, you can download all of your songs or albums to your iPad. And if you like to watch TV, there are many shows you can watch. You can make all of your photos available to all of your other devices using iCloud. If you have an iPod or an iPhone, and you take a picture with your iPad, the iCloud will distribute them. This is done automatically, so there's no need to do any uploading or emailing. Automatically, every app that you download will be distributed to all of your other devices. The iCloud does this for you. So if you have multiple Apple devices, iCloud makes them all work together effortlessly. Rather than typing when you don't want to, the dictation capabilities of the new iPad allows you to talk into it, like a tape recorder in the old days. To stop talking when you are finished, you do what you did to start talking, and that is take the microphone icon and tap on it. With the new iPad, it will automatically make text out of your spoken words. The uses of this feature are many, including dictating a simple note, writing any kind of document, or even writing a letter or paper. You can even use dictation to do web searches or to search for a destination you're looking for. The new iPad makes it easy to dictate, and you might find it more fun and easier than typing.
Reading books is easy when you have an iPad. Reading your books on your iPad gets easier every year! More books are converted to kindle and other e-book formats including books that are fiction and nonfiction. It is very commonplace to see people reading digital magazines. You can access over a half a million books in digital format from the Apple iBooks store. Reading Kindle books on your iPad is possible. Just download the Kindle app and you're good to go. Many books are quite reasonable, and some are even free. When you use the iPad to read, you can highlight or underline text. You can also make notes as you go along. There is a dictionary that can help you look up words as well. If you choose to upgrade to the iPad 3, you will get a device that has many features, some of which are fun and others are useful. The latest version of Apple's creation shouldn't disappoint many people because of its great improvement. Incompatibility with traditional computers and the lack of Flash are still valid criticisms of all iPads. However, when you consider how much you can do with the new iPad, it's still a good value.
