(Foxnews) – Apple execs took the stage at an event in California Wednesday to unveil the third iteration of the company’s wildly popular iPad tablet, which features a stunning new high-resolution display that could rival a home television set.
“You all have an HDTV at home, 1080p — an iPad has more pixels. That’s incredible,” said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at the unveiling. No other mobile gadget has yet matched that display power, Schiller said.
“We’re going to bring it to the 9.7-inch screen of the iPad. This presents a problem for us though … for the first time an iPad has a higher resolution than even the display behind me,” he said.
Just don’t call it the iPad HD. Or the iPad 3, for that matter. Schiller, CEO Tim Cook, and the various Apple execs who took the stage never named the newest member of the family.
They were quick to tout the benefits of its new features, however: The evolved and improved screen should make text look smoother and some high-resolution pictures look better. But it probably won’t make much of a difference for images on the Web, or video. Still, the result should be absolutely gorgeous.
The other big improvement: 4G wireless connectivity thanks to the so-called LTE network, which will allow the iPad to use faster wireless networks from AT&T and Verizon.
The new product also sports a substantially more powerful processor called the A5X chip — the X short for quad core graphics power built into the processor, Schiller said. .....
