Reviews of the New Fourth Generation iPad [Video]

Reviews of the new fourth generation iPad have been posted online. Check out a few of the below...

Engadget
Twice as fast, better battery life, same cost. What more do we need to say? The new iPad is a hit on all fronts -- but it of course won't be received that way by all. Those who just made the investment in an old, new iPad are likely going to feel a bit burned, and we feel for you. Meanwhile, those still voicing their dissatisfaction with the Lightning connector will surely lament its presence here, but to you folks we say the world is moving on and now is as good a time as any to jump on board.





Verge
The fourth-generation iPad is the very definition of an iterative change: Apple made important things better, but neither overhauled nor revolutionized anything. If the iPad's history is any indication, the fourth-generation iPad's advantages over the third-gen model will be most apparent two years from now, when apps are designed for the better processor and the Lightning connector has spawned a much larger universe of accessories. Then you'll want the extra power and the adapter-free lifestyle.




CNET
The new fourth-generation iPad is the best iPad. It's the fastest iPad. But it's no longer the smallest iPad, or the most affordable. That changes the perception of Apple's larger tablet seemingly overnight: this is now the professional-level performance device, the laptop alternative.





Slashgear
The third-generation iPad arguably didn’t need refreshing; in fact, if Apple hadn’t opted to change to Lightning, it could realistically have held off changing its largest tablet until early 2013, as per its typical yearly refresh cycle. That makes for a reasonably straightforward upgrade decision if you’re a 3rd-gen iPad owner. Unless you’re desperate for Lightning – perhaps you’ve also got an iPhone 5, and want to use all the same accessories rather than buy the adapter dongle – then we’re yet to see apps that really demand the potent A6X chipset.

In what way is Slashgear bais? Didn't you read it? They said Apple could have easily held off on updating the iPad if they didn't keep their cycle. I don't think that's bias.

"iPad's advantages over the third-gen model will be most apparent two years from now." In two years I will buy the iPad 8!

Apple should have given their some money for the advertisement. Seriously. Same old design over and over. What a fake. Apple are no more creative. Look ipad mini. Who will buy this outdated specs and cost you more $. People think about. Dont look apple logo only.

The only reason they did a new ipad was because of the charger

Well i have an iPad 3rd gen on 5.1.1 jailbroken. And I can easily access siri with having siri patch from cydia. No need for renting/buying iphone 4s tokens noe because apple's genuine server offers ipad tokens. I did this as soon as i saw news stating iPad 3rd gen will have siri. :)
