In an especially slow news week I’ve decided to put in a bit of filler. Ladies and gentlemen the iPad 3 iPad HD new iPad is here, and the incredible crew gives us a full rundown of their impressions. Scott and Eileen immediately pulls the trigger on their pre-orders, and Eric (like normal people) has worry about money so will have to save for it. As expected, the new iPad pricing scheme is exactly the same as the iPad 2 was but with a new level of cool. First off, the 9.7″ LED-backlit IPS LCD screen has a resolution of 2048×1536. This means that the pixel density is roughly 4x more than the iPad 2 was at 264 ppi. We’ve got a faster processor with new A5X, a 5 MB camera that can record 1080p video, and a new battery with a 10 WiFi hour life. One thing that didn’t make it, unfortunately for those wanting to hear GLaDOS on their iPad, was Siri.
From the folks that were actually at the event there has been nearly universal praise. Some are even saying that this one of the coolest screens ever. The cases that they are making for how awesome the new iPad is are quite compelling. Personally I haven’t pulled the trigger on this one yet, but I can see it on the horizon.
On March 16th, we shall find out just how awesome this is.
For those of you who weren’t able to catch the announcement (me), check out the stream video from the event.

In other news the official Simpsons game was on the Apple Store for a short period, but was quickly pulled because of developer technical problems. For those who actually got it, they think it’s kind of awesome. Once the issues are resolved by Fox Interactive I’m sure we’ll pick it up.
