Ax5 processor which is 2x as fast and 4 times the performance of the iPad 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhile the features look amazing, I do not think I will race out to get an iPad 3. I cannot imagine shooting video using my iPad or becoming a major photographer with it either; however, I do scan business cards with mine. I use it for more practical uses like on the fly web design with clients, email, presentation notes and other. The 4G capabilities does not even intrigue me as the Wi-Fi networks are so prevalent in our society. This was neither a let down or a great step forward for Apple. Apple should have delayed the launch fin favor of more features.<\/p>\n
I can see the draw for some people, but I believe the money is better spent on the older iPad2 which just had a price drop. My daughter asked me for an iPad for Christmas this past year, nut I think she could wait until mommy is ready to give up the iPad 1. Just not worth the extra money.<\/p>\n
Until Apple puts SIRI on the iPad, I cannot imagine any desire to upgrade to the next iPad.<\/p>\n
That is my two cents for what it is worth.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Being the owner of the iPad 1 and the iPad 2, I thought it was only appropriate to follow the launch of the iPad 3.
