How is the image resolution size of Apple’s New iPad changing the face of tablet technology ?
By Robyn Torpey

When you visit the website of Apple’s New iPad, the iPad 3, you are immediately struck with the word “Resolutionary.” This is a brilliant description. The March 2012 release of the iPad 3 has blown away the competition with its pixel size resolution. To put it into context, the resolution size of the iPad 2 is 1024 x 768 and other tablets on the market are topped out at 1280 x 800 (i.e. Asus Eee Pad Transformer). The pixel resolution size of the iPad 3 is 2048 x 1536 at 264 ppi. According to the Apple website, this is a million more pixels than the standard 1920 x 1080 HDTV. This blows away an HDTV, let alone the other tablets on the market.

The iPad 3 can change the face of editing pictures on the go. Not only does the iPad 3 have the best pixel resolution size, it has a camera built into it. This is great for taking pictures on the go and allows the picture taker to take advantage of the high resolution. The iPad 3 also has great photo editing software capability, including iPhoto. Photographs that are taken with this device will be seen in sharp resolution, with a focus on the detail that is new and fresh. However, a user must be careful when editing photographs taken with lower resolution cameras. The increased pixel resolution size and the retina display on the iPad 3 will show every imperfection in the picture and may make the older photographs appear grainy.

Overall, the retina display and pixel resolution size rival some laptops and HD TV’s. Every website that I visited for my research discussed the resolution size of the iPad 3 and how it truly is “Resolutionary.” This is a new class of tablet functionality. In the world of tablet imaging capability and functionality, the iPad 3 is truly in a class of its own.
