Most of the bloggers and tech-addicts said it would be iPad HD but its not,eventhough the screen is hd. Now apple is following their footsteps on trending the same name for the gadgets they come up with.

iPad 3 has a long-standing battery compared to iPad 2

So, you can clearly see the differences between them. iPad 3 is suited up with 4G and has a more boost on web browsing and surfing. Eventhough they look physically the same,the new iPad has a more powerfull specs under the hood. In my opinion, whoever planning to upgrade to iPad 3 from iPad 1 are well worth switching then others who are using iPad 2.
